Actually it would improve his game...In a 3 man front he is a 2 gap lineman lined up over center covering both A gaps. In a four man front he could play a shade or a 3 tech which would give him one gap to cover since he cant move laterally this allows him to just plug a whole and stop the run.

I needed to find an interpreter for that one but ok. In simple terms, I thought when you had a nose tackle in a 3 man front; he was more just an obstacle that was hard to move, forcing the play one way or the other. I've heard people say a 55 gallon drum of concrete could play nose tackle because he's only asked to hold his position and not rush or persue.
