We invested in two 3 techs in last 2 years, one was just a rookie this past year, (Gallimore) the other got Marinelli-red shirted for most of '19, and was coming on well until the knee injury,(Hill)
but both need much more work on trench wars. That's gonna take time. But hopefully Quinn wont have either being red shirted or out of position at 1 tech.
Dunno which will emerge at 3 tech and possible we could see a package of both in at same time in nickel-rush situations.
the key start to improving is acquiring that quality 1 tech who can clog lanes and force double team blocking.
I'm puzzled seeing those on the board that are saying it doesn't matter and doesn't make a difference.
But the role of one toughie does make it easier for others both on the DL line and second level of defenders (LBs)
If you have a guy that dominant, he changes how you have to block him. He takes you out of what you prefer to do blocking schemes.
Now it does depend upon the support and work of the other guys. The ends, the LBs, the starting 3 tech, even the rotation guys.

Leon can't do Every thang !!"
And again check around with the big contracts of the better run stuffers. It's a reason why they get paid the big dollars in either re-signing or another team with a great FA offer.
- At their prime and peak, we saw how a Snack Harrison/Jonanthan Hankins duo did with the run defense of 2016 Giants.
The only peeve is those type wont get you a persistent interior pass rush and they will gas out, or cannot be on the field, vs a opposing no-huddle, or 2 minute warning attack.
