In fact it might be argued that the 3t's success might hinge upon the effectiveness of the NT to draw DTs. And to your earlier point, yes it is much easier to find 3Ts than NTs as the job that they perform requires some specific physical requirements that are rare among average men.

You guys are kind of arguing over a middle ground here. A great Nose Tackle that can take up double teams is extremely valuable and I 
do think McKinnley Jackson can eventually be this guy but if we had a 3-tech that could blow up the IOL like Geno Atkins used to do it 
would completely transform the Defense and is another dimension that could put our D on another level.
