How will you judge the defense?

All of that is true. However, he has been injured for some time and if IIRC, before injury he picked up a few sacks. Now, having said that, there is no way he is a sack machine. It's more of a fall into slop and come up smelling good type of thing. Pure and simple, he is a 3-4 DE and we switched to the 4-3 right after picking him up. He has not been the same player he is/was in a 3-4. To slow to be a good 4-3 DE and too light/strong to be a good 4-3 DT. If we had stayed with the 3-4 I suspect he would be thought a lot better of. Not a bad player, just the wrong system for him. It was our fault, not his for taking him and switching systems.
