Its actually more the opposite, he provides good pass rush pressure up the middle but has been so so against the run.

As depth, possibly playing a lot as DT in nickel, or in base as a rotational Strong side end, or weak side tackle, seems like a good signing. Especially considering the other teams that were interested (Seattle, Atlanta, who run the same D we will, and Denver, who knows D)
If he's supposed to be our 1 techWe still need 1 or two Fat Guys.
Originally posted by pasodoc9er:Just a point of information. If FA starts officially in 2nd week of March, how is it that we are signing FAs right now? i'm missing something, obviously. What?

Interesting. Everything I've read says he's a better run stopper. I guess we'll see. Perhaps a solid, balanced player. Hasn't played too many snaps so he should have fresh legs.

Is this from watching him play or reading around?

this guy is an idiot
Walter is pretty much the equivalent of a lesser-informed member of a random NFL football forum. He just posts a lot of abject nonsense.

Gotcha..I was just stating that since Vance Joseph wanted him as he was the Dolphins DC last year is a good sign for us and the Dolphins didn't just dump him because they thought he sucked. Thanks for the heads up. I didn't know why the Dolphins released him at first.

Originally posted by Phoenix49ers:He was a starter for one year in Houston in which they struggled mightily against the run. He is more quick than powerful, adept at bringing pressure up the middle but not a guy who will anchor and hold up the middle well.
Originally posted by saniner:I like the Jay Ratliff comparison. A penetrating NT. They can still draft or sign a fatty to stop the run
