It's also worth noting that there are variations in philosophies. For example the Ravens used to Nose types during their Super Bowl run to keep blockers off Ray Lewis in Sam Adams and Tony Siragusa. No one is going to mistake either one of those guys as the prototypical 3 technique.

I also think I've seen teams ocassionally use two 3 technique types on passing situations. The Giants and Justin Tuck might be one of the better examples of this type of personel package. In fact we have a poor mans Justin Tuck on our team in Demetric Evans and originally one in Philip Daniels. Kevin Carter is another example of this type of DT/DE hybrid.
