The Los Angeles Rams made a boatload of blockbuster moves this offseason, but the biggest splash of them all – in a literal sense, at least – was the signing of Ndamukong Suh. The Miami Dolphins moved on from the three-time All-Pro with a $26.1 million cap hit coming in 2018, making him a free agent.

There was no shortage of interest in Suh’s services, from the Saints to the Raiders to the Titans, but he decided to take less – still $14 million – to join an up-and-coming Rams team that had already acquired Aqib Talib and Marcus Peters.

There were questions about how he’d fit with the Rams initially, considering he had really only played one position in the NFL: 3-technique defensive tackle. With the Dolphins and Lions, he primarily lined up on the outside shoulder of the guard, rushing from that spot consistently.

In the Rams’ 3-4 defense, that’s Donald’s position. As a result, he had to transition to nose tackle, oftentimes lining up directly over the center. Through four games, he’s made a smooth transition, but his versatility is something Wade Phillips has really enjoyed. Suh’s been happy to move around the defense, too.

“Yeah, I enjoy being able to be moved around. It’s something I’ve always prided myself on, since I was really a rookie and got an opportunity to move around like midway through that year,” Suh said, via the team’s official site. “So, being able to play end, tackle, nose — anything I’m asked to do. I’ll stand up in the linebacker position if I can, which I’ve done before. But whatever they need me, I’m happy to do.”

Phillips has shifted him around plenty, too, exploring all the possibilities of having three studs up front. In fact, both of Suh’s two sacks this season have come as a defensive end in that Wide-9 spot.

On this play against the Chargers, he uses a straight arm against the tackle, keeping his eye on Philip Rivers. When he sees Rivers step up in the pocket, he releases the lineman and bursts toward the quarterback.

His sack against the Vikings on Thursday night came from the same exact position. He uses his speed – which a player his size shouldn’t have much of – to get around the tackle, fighting off the block with good hand usage to easily sack Kirk Cousins.

Notice how Suh takes out the left tackle in the process, which shows how much force he tackles with.

Obviously, 9-technique isn’t Suh’s primary position. He usually lines up as a nose tackle over the center, which he’s had plenty of success doing. He got to Cousins in the blink of an eye Thursday night by blowing by Pat Elflein with the greatest of ease.

If not for Brockers getting in his way while rushing against the guard, Suh may have had a sack.

Here’s another play where Suh lines up across from the center, this time shaded to his left shoulder. Again, he beats Elflein (and even gets held a bit) and is able to collapse the pocket. This time, though, he doesn’t get a hit on Cousins.

Instead, he gets those big mitts up and bats the pass down – something he’s always done plenty of in his career. That’s already his second batted pass of the season, which matches his total from 2017.

Against the Cardinals, he plays that 2i-technique, lining up between the center and guard, but slightly favoring the guard’s side. He gets a one-on-one matchup with Mike Iupati, but the veteran lineman had no chance of blocking Suh.

Suh makes Iupati whiff before getting a good shot on Sam Bradford – whom he admittedly loves sacking – to force the ball out quickly.

And lastly, we’ll look at him playing the 3-technique on the other side of Donald in the season opener against the Raiders. It was the end of the game and the score was already out of hand, so you can tell the players are gassed and maybe not giving 100 percent effort.

However, Suh and Matt Longacre collapse the center, guard and tackle into the same spot to make a mess of the protection. Longacre gets good push on the tackle to open up the edge for Suh, who loops around and lunges for Derek Carr, forcing an inaccurate throw. Marcus Peters picks it off and you know how that play ends.

Suh’s versatility has been abundantly apparent this season with many of his best plays not coming from that nose tackle position. He can line up anywhere on the defensive line and have success, and that’s a huge plus for Phillips and the entire defense.
