Defensive Tackle breakdown

by: Chris Sullivan

One of our biggest needs this year is a true three-tech tackle to complement Brandon Mebane on the line. The National Football Post has a very good article on the things to look for in a defensive tackle (they are kinda like offensive linemen -- how do you know if they're any good when you rarely notice them?). They also break down all the free agent defensive linemen and list them by type and skill. Worth a read!
