Much has been made of the size of Cowboys draft pick Quinton Bohanna. Under previous regimes, the Dallas defense tended to stay away from the oversized defensive tackle that fits the classic 1-tech definition. They wanted smaller, quicker players in the interior so there was never a true “run-stuffer” presence. There wasn’t the guy who almost demands a double-team because of his size. The guy who allows the linebackers cleaner shots at the ball-carrier in theory.
Dallas rectified that in this year’s draft when they took Bohanna out of Kentucky in the sixth-round. Bohanna has already become a fan-favorite simply becasue he fills the classic 1-tech profile that had been ignored for so long, yet fans had clamored for.
