BUFFALOTONE Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 This could be a long shot but I know he battles the weight issue. If we are in the market for a two gap guy and last time I checked we are, he may be the one.He has some upside, is still relatively young.

Alot of dough at this stage in the game.

eball Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 No. No. And no. Overrated, injury prone, old, money-hungry. All things we don't want here.

stevewin Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 I'll just keep posting this every time someone mentions a fat DT From Kollar's quotes in the BB.com def coaches interview: Are you looking for some bulk inside to complete the guys you have? BK: How our scheme is set up I don't think you need a guy that is 350 or 400 pounds to stop the run. In St. Louis we had a guy that was 280 pounds and they didn't run on him. You've got to play with leverage and you've got to run to the ball. It takes all 11 guys to stop the run. The defensive tackles get blamed for getting ripped but you've got linebackers behind them and you've got safeties behind them. It takes everybody to be in the right gaps, playing the correct technique and running to the football. If somebody does break out you want somebody there to track him down. But some teams feel opposite and want that guy there that is 350 or 375. We don't feel that way. We want our guys in good condition where they can play an entire game and run to the ball every snap. def coaches interview
