Jay Ratliff Won’t be Moving to DE for Dallas Cowboys

Talk of Dallas Cowboys stud defensive lineman Jay Ratliff moving from nose tackle to end has been a hot topic for some time now, but it won’t happen. On Monday, Cowboys defensive line coach Brian Baker said Ratliff will stay put in the middle.

However, Ratliff will see a slight change in his role with the team in 2012. After battling a strained muscle near his ribs last season, Ratliff will play fewer snaps on first and second down this year while younger players like Sean Lissemore and Josh Brent handle those early down situations.
