Terrible dancer, least athletic player for his position on this D, but IF he makes the right calls he'll do.
I've never seen the hype, but really don't need to,if he doesn't hit a guy so hard he personally can't think for two plays I'm OK with it.

Again, I would say that a lot of that is indicative of the quality of DT play in front of him.

Think of it on the opposite end of the spectrum at RB. A lot of times, guys with bad linemen can't hit a hole on time because the hole that is diagrammed isn't there. The lineman hasn't cleaned it up. So they get labeled "dancers" because they're forced to try to create space. They get better linemen and they look like different dudes.

Take Ray Lewis. In between the days where he had Goose and Adams taking on blockers, people were wondering if he still had it. In comes Ngata and he's a legend again. The MIKE can only be as good as his DTs.

I agree and would have said a LOT of that if you hadn't already, but lemme ask YOU, are we interviewing veterans to spell him ,supply competition for him , back him cuz we think he's showing signs of wear ,what?

I dunno about competiton, but depth is always a good thing. If I had to guess, I'd say a lot of these guys have had experience in a right-left OLB scheme as opposed to a SAM-WILL scheme and can help communicate the message, and they're versatile and can play the other spots as well.

I did it from a desktop not an ipood thats why.

And when I did it I said to myself "oh he's coming, any minute now he's gonna see the vid. He can't resist, the temptation is too powerful...ahhh hell I don't even blame him".

And there you were....LOL.

I still can't get my events offa the ipood calendar and onto my phone.

I'm sure it will and I am going to do it when I get home. It still irks me that Google Drive won't give me the option to sync calendar events from an ipood. I bet money it does on a droid tablet.

Thank you X.....
