That would also explain why he was playing 3 technique DT, instead of NT while he was here.

Had he been healthy, I think he could have been a better NT than Howard Cross or Donovan Hinish.

Don't get me wrong here... Both Cross and Hinish did a fine job at NT for us, but with Cross playing at 285 lbs, and Hinish at 275, they were getting worn down badly.
