Would I be correct in thinking that if I played dime vs pro set I would cover both WR with 2 CB on each of them??

I'm not sure it works that way. I believe the defense is set up in zones, rather than double teams. In a Dime, those zones are more closely knitted, making successful passing less likely.

However, in case of a completion, and if the first CB misses his tackling chance, the WR is less likely to break away, since there's a 2nd CB nearby, who's likely to make the tackle instead.

That's at least my take on it.

Can't see this.

A 4-3 is basically the same except you take out the OLBs and replace them with 2 CBs who are presumably better at coverage (and not so good vs the run).

The 2 CBs might play wider (but I doubt that) or the whole 4 might be in man coverage. Maybe it varies a little depending on what O formation is called.

So theoretically, if you OLBs appear to be better cover players than your 3rd and 4th CBs then the 4-3 should work better than the dime.

Doubtful, but there is a good chance of that on the weak side though if that can actually happen.
