When defenses modernized to the point that a base 4-3 or 3-4 wasn’t the same defensive formation teams ran every down. It was always silly to refer to one of the 3 down lineman in a 3-4 as an “end” as there would basically always be a player outside of him with the actual responsibility to set the edge on the strong side and the down lineman’s responsibilities were what is logically described as a defensive tackle in all other contexts.
