Broncos nose tackle Ronald Fields said he is penciled in as a starter at this point, a position he occasionally filled under Nolan when both were with the San Francisco 49ers. He was asked about his feelings on the sometimes less-than-glamourous job of a nose tackle in the 3-4, and he said he relishes the opportunity. Its not difficult at all to me I like being in the midst of it and being in the middle, he said. In the 3-4, the key point is having a good nose tackle, so if you dont have anybody that can hold the nose, your 3-4 is not going to be real sturdy and not be real good. I like being in the middle. I like the contact and being able to be in there. Source: DenverBroncos.com
