And then we went to a 3-4 and the guy basically has no position.

He'd make a good backup somewhere like Indy or Chicago.

I don't understand why he wasn't tried at 3-4 DE.

He's not strong enough at the point of attack. If we were going to play 1-gap 100% of the time, he might be able to do it.

But him playing 2-gap, 5-technique just isn't going to happen. He's a penetrator.

That makes sense. He was the right size, I guess just not strong enough.
