2 different questions

do i believe he played up to his contract.....the easy answer is no

do i believe he is talented enough to be a starter on this team.......yes

how many strong side ends do we hear about on ESPN?

robert mathis and ray edwards? who else?

you hear about defensive ends when they get sacks......just because grant doesnt get sacks doesnt mean he isnt doing his job

ray edwards gets very little attention because there are 3 other beasts on that defensive line that most offensive coordinators would rather worry about.......robert mathis gets most of his numbers from the weak side but when he does get his sacks from the strong side, its usually because dwight freeney beat his man too and the QB has nowhere to go

heres a quick little drill you can do at home.......have your wife/gf/husband/whatever run at you. you can probably get out of the way if you so choose

now heres a twist.......turn around......then have them run at you again.....try to get out of the way without turning around

it sounds stupid but thats the principle of the argument at hand
