The Calm Disrupter - Ndamukong Suh
ESPN The Magazine|November 2018

In his ninth NFL season, the three-time All-Pro has a new home, a new position and a new understanding of his role on the defense.

The Calm Disrupter - Ndamukong Suh
ESPN: Your whole career you’ve played a 4-3 defensive tackle, but in LA you’re playing a 3-4 nose. Were you at all concerned about that transition?

NDAMUKONG SUH: I looked at it as a new challenge. I always felt there’s not much of a difference between a 4-3 system and a 3-4 system—it’s just how many different guys are coming at one particular time.

I’ve watched a lot of your play, back to college. At 4-3, you would penetrate, destroy, disrupt. In the 3-4, in the Denver game in October, there were a couple of times where you ate up three players. You took on the double-team on a pass play, the rest of the rushers got one-on-ones, then you fell off and tackled the checkdown.
