Well since we don't play a lot of 3-4, it won't be a problem

Yeah, the first phrase in the "weakness" section was can't play in an odd front, so it's a headscratcher.

It also doesn't make sense. There are 2 types of 3-4 fronts, and one includes a DT with 4-3 skills.

Is he talking a tradition 2 gap NT? or a 1 gap 3-4 front?

I understood it as him being a 3-tech only, not being able to play 0-tech.

...at least yet. I don't think he lacks anything physical to be an NT. I guess he needs to learn to play with a lower center of gravity, but I have little faith in Johnson being able to groom a gem out of him, and that's mostly on BJ.
