*TIL playing Defensive Tackle makes you ineligible for Defensive Tackle awards

[Z-Whiz]

#17 and #53 are Portland's RDT and LDT in 3-4.
Consistently on every play those players line up and engage with the Offensive Tackle each play. Is it clunky and not immediately intuitive to consider these positions, which are labeled as "DT," as DEs? Yes. Is it the right way that awards committee should be regarding and measuring performance and eligibility for those positions? Yes.

Exactly this. This is on Wolverine for having them listed as RDT and LDT. They lineup and behave like DEs and should be treated as such.

LDT and RDT are not RDE and LDE.

They are though. Look at how the new sim treats them. In order to set your RDT and LDT in the 3-4 formation screen, you set them as LE and RE. It's the position that JJ Watt plays. I've never once heard someone claim that he's playing DT.

It's poor wording/abbreviating by Wolverine. The outside DL in a 3-4 are DEs.
