In a 4-3 alignment (4 linemen and 3 linebackers) the defensive tackles are the two inside linemen (outside are the Defensive Ends). In a 3-4 alignment, there is only one defensive tackle, who is commonly called the nose tackle, who lines up over the center.

It is a position that is opposite of the offensive lineman.
If there are 3 men on the defensive line they are listed from left to right
1) Defensive tackle (left)
2) Nose tackle (plays opposite the Center)
3) Defensive tackle (right)

It means that the guy is responsible for tackling any offensive player carrying the ball.
