Re: 7th rounder was traded for pressley
 

The Lord has spoken.... Ellis plays the nose.

I really think Ellis will play both positions and rarely be off the field.

lol - the Lord believes this is the only way this pick could've had any value.

In a 4-3, whose your Nose Tackle?

The idea with the 4-3 is that you have more active Tackles (i.e. Laroi Glover, John Randle)...

They got defense, and that is what everyone wanted.

Technically, whichever tackle plays over the center. But in LoE's mind whichever tackle plays over the "A" gap on the weak side is also a NT (though many argue that they can be called "nose" only when that tackle is directly over center).

Regardless, we always put our big beefy tackle over center or over the "A" gap weak side. Our undertackle goes on the strong side. Pull up one of the games and see where Hollis Thomas lines up, and where Bryan Young lines up, and you'll see what I mean.

Whether it's 4-3 or 3-4 has nothing to do with it. That's been beaten to death in another thread.
