Typically the NT lines up on one side of the center, typically between the center and LG. The DT (3-tech) lines up on the outside of the RG. This gives the 3T better pash rushing options. The downside is the gap between the two DTs creates a running lane that has to be covered by the LBs.
In the Titans game, we weren't concerned about pass rush (Gabbert), and wanted to focus on Henry. By bringing both DTs inside, it made inside running very difficult, and kept blockers off our LBs. This forced them to run outside and our faster LBs to run him down.
