But he can make plays, and the Redskins like how he moves sideline to sideline, a key when they’re in nickel vs. spread offenses. But he’s coming off his best year and was active. Is he worth $5 million a year? We’ll find out. He played two years in Houston when the Texans ran a 3-4, and one reason he signed with Dallas was because it played a 4-3. He often lined up over the center in the Cowboys’ front.

TY.

But even that article suggests to me he's not a fit at NT, says he left Houston for Dallas because they played a 43. The article mentions exactly where I think his true fit is=3-tech/nickel interior pass rusher.

Anyhow...I hope we bring in a true NT via FA or draft 1.
Even though most teams are only in "base" ~40 percent of the time IF we can't stop the run in base teams will keep us in base just to run the ball.
