Answer
Bob,

The biggest thing about playing d tackle is being aggresive and physical. The techniques you mentioned are all great for pass rushing. Work hard with the weights and on agility training and your weight will come down. Your coaches are your best resource for improvement so let them know what your goals are and they will help you improve. Above all be a team player and be PHYSICAL.
