Yeah, I like the pick up too. I think his physical skill set translates even better than Hyder's does in the wide 9. You need a strong straight line acceleration AND power to play in Kocurek's system. Basically a Defensive Tackle can play at the ends in his system and still do well. That's what I like about it - it's a lot easier to find a defensive end/edge rusher for the wide 9 than it is for the 3-4 over/under defense in my opinion.
That f**ker also wants to trade Fred Warner while I demand we resign him now.
