The good thing about him is that he is fairly versatile, so he can line up on various spots - much like Mario Williams - which makes it harder for the opposing O-line to scheme against him. |

I am still not convinced its ALL about the players. GW was a big part of our problem.
Thanks to GW my 3 year old daughter now knows what a Blitz is. |

They need at least 2 more for the rotation, and I'm not convinced that this existing group can get it done no matter how good the schemes are or how well they're coached up. Hargrove is an UFA, so maybe they should bring him back to the black and gold?! |
