Thanks for the help in advance!
Ask your defensive coordinator.
That is always the right answer.
If he's like me, he'll want things like Pass Rush Technique, Pass Rush Power, and Footwork out of DE's because I use lots of outside pressure plays. But I know quite a few DC's who use their entire line to stop the run and then their LB's for pressure on blitzes.
Both work, but you have to ask to know which way to go.
