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.
There's a huge misunderstanding about what a NT is supposed to do. It's the reason Zimmer called Peko the best NT in the game while fans on this board called him meh because he didn't rush the passer much. What he did do is clog the middle and draw the double teams, which is exactly what he was supposed to do. I have hopes Jackson can be our next Peko.
