That's way too extreme a comparison, I will agree that there are some differences in the 2 positions, but not as extreme as ot v. dt.
Many teams have converted their dt to nose tackle. Maybe Tank will be uncomfortable in the position, and maybe he's not ideal for it, but he's better than what they have now.

Why does that not surprise me. Does Jerry J. have any morals, or high standards for players to represent his team?

Jerry Jones doesn't care who runs around with there uni's on as long as he thinks they can help the team win. The Cowboys are right there with the Raiders as far as signing anyone they think might help them regardless of there past. As far as this signing goes I hope they don’t do it. Tank Johnson is a beast and I don’t want to see him come 12/30.

If I'm a cowboy's fan, I'm all for this signing. He can't hurt, he'll get way below his previous market value and he is unquestionably talented. I don't get the righteous indignation here. If we needed help at DT (we don't, imo), I'd want him on Redskin One now.
