re: Which of our current Def players DO NOT fit in the 3-4? (Roster Added)

pretty sure Bunkley hasn't played nose tackle in a 3-4 in the pros. He started out in Philly and then played one year in Denver (2011). I thought Denver ran a 4-3 but I could be wron

Denver ran a 3-4 when Bunkley was there (at least one of the years) and was nicknamed "the destroyer" because he had an almost dominant year at NT.

Profootball Focus when he was a FA:

69. Brodrick Bunkley, DT, Denver Broncos

There wasn’t a player in the league like Bunkley last year. He may as well have had his position renamed ‘destroyer’ because it seemed he was sent out on the field simply to dismantle the center across from him; so good was he the Patriots essentially schemed to get him off the field. The reason Bunkley is relatively low down on this list is because he was purely an early down player that only got on the field for 485 snaps in the regular season. That, however, didn’t stop him from picking up a +28.4 run defense grade. Top of the tree among defensive tackles.

Best Performance: Week 11 versus New York Jets (+6.5)

Key Stat: 11.3% of all run plays he was on the field for ended up with him making a defensive stop. Highest of all defensive tackles.
