But a person that could play nose and 5T might be a better fit.
Sure, but Gaines really isn't that guy. Nose? Yes. 5-T? He's not taken more than maybe 100 snaps at that position. Maybe less.
He's someone who plays nose and also defensive tackle ... anywhere from 0-4i teach ... just have not seen him at 5-tech
I think he's too short for that, coaches like someone who plays over a tackle to have some height and long arms ... or "length"
and that is his physical issue ... he's a super hustler who was a good player but just too short do play anything but NT or DT
That's my take
