*TIL playing Defensive Tackle makes you ineligible for Defensive Tackle awards

So here's my issues. In a 4-3 the 2 interior DL players are DTs and the 2 outside are typically DEs. But when you transition that to a 3-4 you usually slide the 2 DT's to DE and put a nose tackle in between them. And the DEs are now OLBs. A guy like TJ Watt who plays 3-4 OLB would most likely play 4-3 DE.

Another way to put it. In a 3-4 the 3 DL all typically line up inside the  tackles. In. 4-3 the 2 DTs are inside the tackles and the 2 DEs are outside the tackles. Therefore,  3-4 DE = 4-3 DT. In the real life picture below you can clearly see the 3-4 DEs line up inside the tackles. The pic of the sim that was posted is ridiculous. If that was really how the sim worked the offense would just run it down the middle easily every play and gain at least 5 yards a carry.

56 and 92 are the OLBs in that image.

It's not the way that it should work, but from watching half a game and marking DL positions, that picture is consistent with the way the sim has the DL set up pre snap, with LBs mostly crowding the box. It's inverted from how it works IRL, but that's how 16 handles it.
