I never said he COULDN'T stop the run. I made a point of putting that in parenthesis, before one of you got butt hurt about my comment. I simply do not view him as a true run stuffer. Everything I've seen shows him shooting the gap and getting after the QB (or running back). That's a little harder to do at the next level. He doesn't strike me as a true lane clogger, and I don't believe that's what they drafted him to do. That does not mean he can't stop the run at all. He's probably better at it then anyone we've had recently. I think he was drafted as an "effective" two way player, and I think that's what he'll be.

This might be difficult for some of you to believe, but I base very little of my opinions on what I read. I'm not a scout any more than the rest of you, and I'm not here to impress you with my knowledge, or what you and others might perceive as my lack thereof. But I'm fairly adept in my own perceptions. I recognize the fact that I could just as easily be wrong.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
