And from what I understand Gwachum bulked up to 260 pounds and was a serious contender to pressure Kikaha for snaps. Looks like he won't have to battle now

It's about talent more than size and bulking up has to be done the right way.

In a part time gig, no Games Started, with a weak schedule and three sacks came in one game against the Packers who were down to a PS lineman...

And his only job was to come in and rush the passer - we have that already in Edebali, who had more sacks per plays than Freeney...

I'm telling y'all, we've got the talent fellas, we need the coaching on the defense...

Only concern I have is/has been was Kikaha injured trying to play like a down lineman with his ill-fitted size or some other way?

Hate to see him getting hurt trying to drive square pegs in round holes; don't know that's the case, yet, but certainly hope it wasn't...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Sad for the young man. Hope he gets well soon. Great motor. Great college player. But, he lacks NFL size as a rush end and didn't have the speed to play OLB. He's never going to be anything but an average role player in the NFL at best.

Very true, but he was gonna be a pretty important role player for us since pass rush was such a glaring weakness for us to start with.

I also wonder how hard it is to replace a 1-dimensional player?

What if you trade one for the other i.e. Freeny
