A 'hungry' Deatrich Wise appears to be fighting for a roster spot in a new role
So, this tells me 2 things:
1) The switch to a 3-4 is real (although we know nickel is the true base)
2) The team sees Wise as a DE regardless of what kind of alignment we have
They’re changing things up in 2019, and seem to be ready to run a 3-4 defense (and variations of it) rather than the 4-3 defense they ran in years prior. Because of that, the team asked Wise to put on weight, and he seems to have bulked up. That’s because he’s been playing closer to the guards — rather than the tackles — on the line of scrimmage. It’s a new position for him.
