02Scheme fit
Ideal system
A gap-control 3-4 defense focused on stopping the run and occupying blockers for linebackers.
0-tech NT1-tech DT
Best role
Year 1 rotational run-stuffer in base packages with the ceiling to be a long-term starter at nose tackle.
Wrong fit
An attacking one-gap 4-3 scheme that demands consistent penetration and quickness.
Farrell's size and strength perfectly suit a system where taking on double teams and anchoring against the run are prioritized.
