isn't the primary job of a 3-4DE to run stop...? wasn't he extremely horrible even in doing that? correct me if I'm wrong.

Sort of. Their primary job is drawing double teams and keeping the lb's clean. Smith is easily handled by one blocker.

People are really confused about this. He got himself out of position by often times going really wide on his pass rush. That was the problem, and that is only a 4-3 problem. That would not happen in a 3-4. Also, the OLB's were awful and made the d-line look worse at stopping the run than they actually were.
Also, people keep saying he has no experience playing 3-4 DE. This has been repeated multiple times, but Will Smith actually played a lot of DE on a three man line in the Gregg Williams defense. Shanle and Fujita were used a lot as 3-4 OLB'S.
