Prevailing wisdom has been that the Texans need an upgrade inside to play the nose next to Okoye. Kollar sounds pleased with the pool he's already got to choose from, and he could and could get another candidate in the draft.
"We've got quite a few on the inside especially at the nose we should end up having some good competition with Johnson, Cody, Okam and Robinson," he said. But if one of the ends emerges as a good rusher opposite Williams or the Texans add that guy in the draft, it sure sounds like Smith could be the interior answer on passing downs. "He's definitely a good inside rusher, I mean he's slippery inside, he uses his hands well," Kollar said. "He ended up playing a lot inside last year on first and second down. He just does a good job, he plays with great leverage, he was able to slip through gaps. He can give you some rush from the inside, that's for sure." http://myespn.go.com/blogs/afcsouth/...assistant.html ******************************************* 3 of the 4 players Kollar mentions as the ones competing for NT are really what most classify as 3-techniques types ? He must really envision a smaller DLine or one without a true nose ? Ant it looks like Kollar sees Antonio Smith playing even more time inside as a DT instead of on the edge ? I thought we signed Smith to be the primary DE along with Mario, now Smith is bragging about his value inside on first & second downs ? Huh ? I dunno but I'm thinking Kollar and new DC Bush are gonna have a lot of discussions about how to run this defense ? And does this mean that a DE is back in the discussion as the Texans top pick this month ? |
