A 5tech is the designation for a DE in a 3 man front. Some schemes will call that a DT, if he shades inside, but to answer your question, ends in a 3-4 need to be 290+, because unlike a four man front, it's easier to double the end in the run game with a chip or straight double. In your match-up with me, that means Tyron Smith and Gronk blow the 265 pound Freeney 10 yards off the ball. A guy like Ngata at 330-335 can split that double and hold enough ground to free the LB's up. Hope that helpsi got milk all day.
Now why can a 5t in ngata play DE here? im confused? i cant put freeney at DE in a 3-4 but a 5t can play DE?
