It's a power vs quickness thing. 3-tech is Ina 1-on-1 situation, with room to maneuver. 1-tech is asking for a double-team and in the center of line.
So one of the things that was odd about our defense last year, as I recall, is that we played a lot of games with 2 1-techs at the same time. That's both DTs on either side of the center. I didn't have the time to really look at why, but my hunch is Eberflus can tinker the system to work with whatever talent he has available.
All of our DTs played 1-tech last year even though most (Autry, Hunt, Lewis and others) aren't suited for it. Grover Stewart and Al Woods are the two that were obvious 1-techs. They're going lighter on D-line like the old Dungy days.
