The fact that he thought his way through the play is a big plus. We need more thinking players and less reactionary players.

This guy here, Tyrunn Walker, looks the part too although probably PS bound.

Not sure. Walker can play in the middle, and also at DE (think of Cam Jordan, only with DT being Walker's natural position, and DE being Cam Jordan's). This team likes players who can play more than one position.

Walker could be PS bound, but Tom Johnson and Remi Ayodele are not locks, so Walker could actually make it as a backup DT, who could be switched to DE. I actually like Tyrunn Walker's chances, assuming he continues to apply pressure in the next three preseason games.

Spagnuolo loves guys that can play more than one position.
