Minicamp Practice Updates
this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; A more likely physical comparison of Gwachum would be to former Miami Dolphins Defensive End Jason Taylor... Tall and lean, unique ability to bend around the edge; but I'm not sure Gwachum has the sand to hold the edge......

Look, the guy has me intrigued and it's impressive that he's taken coaching advice and moved to a different position and worked to build his body... Cautiously optimistic that Gwachum can challenge, but it's a straight up observation that the guy is just raw-bone... But as I said in earlier posts, I'm more excited by the number of players we can rotate in that front four... We don't need a down lineman to play 85% of the snaps; we can rotate people for mismatches and keep the horses fresh to the fourth quarter... |

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