   A nose tackle is a defensive tackle. The nose tackle is the DT in the 3-4 base defense.

   Defensive tackle is primaraly used in a 4-3 set. The two in the middle of the defensive line are considered Defensive Tackles. They line up on the offensive guards or around that area.

   A Nose tackle is primaraly used in a 3-4 set with three down linemen. He is the middle linemen lined up directly on the center.

   Nose tackles are usually bigger than regular defensive tackles, but not always. This is because they can plug up one to two running lanes for the running back.

   Nose Tackle- defensive lineman that lines up in front of the Center in either a 3-4 or 5 defensive lineman front. They are usually the biggest and strongest players on the defense.

   Defensive Tackle- defensive lineman in the standard 4-3 set. They line up in front of the Guards.

   A nose tackle primary goal is to tackle noses. That is why they hit people in the head. That is also why you might hear the expression, "he knocked the snot out of him"

   A defensive tackle is employed when the prosecutor starts to beret a witness or a suspect on the stand.

   I know several people have pointed out the 3-4 vs 4-3 set up difference, but I’ll try to explain it from the stand point of assignments.

   A defensive tackle is the base linemab in a 4-3 defense. They range in size from 290lbs on up, and are the strongest players on the defense. In a 4-3, their assignment is gap control, and to consume the middle of the offensive line so that the MLB is free to pursue the football. They often use slants or stunts, things of this nature to get into the backfield. They will rush the QB more than a NT will. Also, since they do eat up blockers, they free up defensive ends to put pressure on the QB. Because they are usually double teamed, the DE is often 1-on-1 with the OT. The best pass rushing DE’s are from a 4-3 setup (Bruce Smith, Reggie White, Jason Taylor before 2006, Michael Strahan)

   Nose Tackles are the base defensive Linemen in a 3-4 defense. They are the biggest, strongest players on the field (Vince Wilfork, Kris Jenkins, Jason Ferguson, Haloti N’Gata). They have to be because they are ecpected to consume the middle of the offensive line, drawing double and tripple teams every play. They don’t really have any assignment other than that, but the good ones will get a few sacks each year. They have to be very sturdy players, as they take a beating every game. In fact of the four players I mentioned, Jenkins and Ferguson are on IR. Likewise they have to control the middle of the line, and free up the MLB’s to make plays. The difference between the players is that while you can always find a DT for a 4-3 defense, a 3-4 cannot function without a good NT. This is why you don’t see as much of it in the league. However a good NT with good DE’s will free up OLB’s to get to the pass rusher. Good pass rushing LB’s (Joey Porter, Demarcus Ware, James Harrison) come from 3-4 defenses.

   Nose tackle is usually used to refer to a defensive tackle in a 3-4 defense, while defensive tackle usually means tackles in a 4-3.

   Sometimes the defensive tackle that lines up on the right side of the center is called a nose guard or sometimes nose tackle. The nose guard is usually bigger than the under tackle (the other defensive tackle in a 4-3), and is usually responsible for occupying blockers, though not to as much of an extent as a true nose tackle in a 3-4.
