Cam Jordan and Marcus Davenport play inside at times too. But they are still DEs. Donald mostly plays DE.
Yes he does go inside on passing downs, especially if they go 4 down linemem, but he is still a DE and has been since Wade Phillips installed his 3-4 defense.
Suh has primarily played the nose from what I've gathered, while Donald is playing a 5 tech, which is considered an end position.

Suh plays nose maybe 2 or times a game because he his playing out of position and Wade is running so much 4-3 this year.
He never lines up over a Tackle. Even when hes playing hybrid of DE because a rush OLB is basically a DE in Wade defense, the OLB will line up over the tackle and Donald will take on the guard just like a normal DT. Because Wade is making his DEs stand up and it looks like a OLB when its basically a 4-3 front
Like I said Do yall watch games or do you just skim through

Very first alignment I saw was a 3-4 with Donald on the OUTSIDE shoulder of the guard (between the guard and tackle) playing DE and Suh at NT.
Both of the OLBs were standing up on the line, giving a 5 man front look. The OLB lined up next to him was well away from the OT, making him the end.
Second and third formations it was the same thing. He's lining up as a 4 tech (I mistakenly said 5 earlier, but that's still an end position in the 3-4).
Suh was once again lined up as the NT on the second, and wasn't on the field for the third.

Sheldon & Nick are both more 3 tech whereas Davidson is better as a 1 tech. He may not even be better but since he’s effective it allows Sheldon to play exclusively at the 3. If you don’t know the difference, long story short, 3 techs get more 1on1’s.

The year when we had both and both were on the field, Rankins was usually taking the NT spot, freeing up Fairley more often.
Even last year Rankins was lining up as the nose far more often than he should have. I'm glad they are letting Davison and Stallworth man the nose this year.
