Mavric Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Defensive Tackle: Two words: Ndamukong Suh – The quintessential example of a legendary DT. The DT is a huge guy that makes it impossible for you to run straight up the middle. They have the toughness to fight through double teams and get in the gap to stop the RB. Our DT should present his big ideas to a topic and have them mean so much that an argument or question stops at that point. Quickness - This may be an overused item, but it's still important at the DT spot. If he can get through the line, he has a straight path to the QB! The faster he gets there, the better - this can create poor decisions and bad throws by the passer. HuskerBoard DT's should react fast to breaking news! Shifting ability - If the Huskers decide to go into a 3-4, a DT will become a nose tackle and line up over the center. If he can take on both running gaps and jam the inside, he allows the ILB's to make plays. The perfect DT takes on many tough issues in many forums to allow other posters the ability to answer the obvious questions (the easy stop as it were)! Relentless - This guy can really dig his heels in and eventually overpower the lesser player in front of him. Creates a surge towards his given target and then makes the tackle from any given angle.

knapplc Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 (edited) Can you make this a multiple choice vote? Per @Mavric in a status update with a similar topic, we've moved to a 3-4 alignment and we only have one DT these days. I'm out of the loop! Edited February 8, 2018 by knapplc Link to comment
jsneb83 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Shouldn't this be up to the Defensive Coordinator? Link to comment
