Defensive Line Pass Rush Tech

This may be off topic but the type of player to put in that 1 tech. is an interesting debate to me. Last year we had a guy who was about 6/1'' and 215lbs who was a defending state champ in wrestling. Needless to say his explosiveness and getoff were his best attributes. The only answer teams really had was to trap him, so we played him primarily in the 1 technique, thinking that he would be much harder to trap from that position and we could let him fire of the ball and do his thing. This probably hurt us in the pass rush department though, since I don't think we saw a guard who could have blocked him one on one all year, but he was constantly double teamed in that 1 technique. Other than moving him around on passing downs I guess it just comes down to making a decision about what helps your team more, disrupting all those running plays or generating a pass rush. We play in a very run heavy league, so we played this guy inside.
