there isnt a guy in the league right now who could block him consistantly and he would greatly increase our ability to stop the run. that would be a huge advantage in a division that runs the ball more than any other division in football

everyone in our division runs the ball to set up the pass. we stop the run and we make them 1 dimensional. everybody knows how deadly we are on defense when we know they are passing

Thats why he would be awesome in a 3-4 defense. He's like a hole plugger. In a 4-3 defense its a bit different, its more about penetration and quickness along with plugging. Not sure he works out well in that scheme. Wasn't really hating on him, just saying you can't force someone to do things they aren't built to do. I don't think he has the build or is in good enough shape to do that. I could be wrong though.
