He's right that you CAN be great even if one dimensional, but usually the path to greatness is alot easier if you're really damn good at everything.
That's especially true of front 7 defensive players. To be considered great, you should be great at both. If not, then you really better be about the best EVER at whatever it is you're great at, to balance off being average at the rest.
And I wouldn't take DT as the best ever front 7 player. Not even close. And taht's one reason why.
