    He played DT for the Colts...Is that pancakes being pancakes or is he really a DE?

    Well, he does have the right size for a 3-4 DE.

    I wish we could just go to a 4-3 though. :(

    I think he played DT when they drafted him and they were running a 4-3, but he's been playing more DE when they switched to a 3-4 in 2012.

    So do I. I just think it's easier to find players for that system.

    I'm not familiar with him, so it must be a horrible signing.

    You know there's this thing called a salary cap...right? At some point, you're going to have to fill that 53 man roster.

    Played all 16 games each of the last two years. As thin as they are in the DL, it provides some sort of safety net at the least, I guess.
