Hicks?

“Akiem Hicks is a powerful, young player,” interim head coach Aaron Kromer said. “Any young player in the National Football League is raw, and his techniques aren’t perfect, but that guy has the power and ability to play right now.”

OK, I'm fired up about him now. Bunkley/Hicks, with Ellis coming off the bench for Bunkley on 3rd and longs.

Why, oh, why is Johnson getting playing time over Hicks. Vet or not Johnson has never done anything to impress and I think we can all agree that Hicks is the future at DT, but he needs playing time to develop.

Hicks wasn't suited game 1, but I thought he made at least one nice play against the panthers

I mentioned in the offseason that by week 8, hicks would have become the starter taking over from Ellis, I'm still sticking by the comment Aswell

He's a raw player, but his aggressiveness is what our team is mission at other positions
