He's got a bunch of short workout/drill videos from when he was 7 on youtube which is pretty funny.
Seems like we're pretty clearly filling 2 different DT roles, with a little more room for different body types. We had DT and NT as separate positions on the depth chart last year and different sets of guys at each position, but we clearly wanted length in the DT spot and were playing guys who were not great fits there. I don't think we would have recruited Whittington or Burburija into that system. I like having a spot for the smaller (but still strong) 3-tech tackles who can cause disruption.
Feels like even we we did 4 man fronts this year, which was fairly common, only 1 or 2 of the 4 were playing a position that fit their skillset. Which I think is a part of the reason Butler was so mad and no longer works here. But I also think he and Bradden at least agreed to the plan of flexible positions and lots of stunting whether or not is was their idea, and then abandoned it to even worse effect.
