That's what I'm talking about ... I missed out on a lot of good football focusing on N-drama-kong for a season & a half in order to prove/dispel the "double-teamed on every play" myth ... he's "too fast" & it makes him ineffective vs the run, teams just wham-block him, he tends to get too tall in his stance which makes it easier for offensive lineman to stand him up & handle him mano-e-mano and his only real strength is controlling/getting in to pass rushing gaps and/or pursuing the play (when he chooses to, :rolleyes:), which is what the Lions got him for, but at what cost? He'd be an awesome D/T at $6-$8mil, just not $12.7 ... and he only gets doubled-teamed 1-in-4 plays ... teams don't have to double-team him, the Lions line him up in the same spot on every play, every game, so there's no need for fancy blocking schemes to neutralize the big lug, ;).
I just think there'd be more interest in signing him by the other NFL teams if he was all that he was cracked up/reputed to be ... but he's not, :).
