  1. It's just that if he were at DE he would be able to use his full array of skills on each and every play. There are certain responsibilities w/ being the NT in a 3/4...while all DLmen must occupy the OLmen and control the gaps (so the LBs can wreck havoc) the NT is particularly important and can't just being shooting gaps or penetrating like a made man.

     

    Seeing as KW can penetrate and control the line extremely well...he would be free to do either depending on the circumstances of a given play at DE more so than NT....at least that's what I think. Say you get a lesser man but a bigger man who can control the line but not shoot the backfield so much you can put him at NT and KW at DE and we get better...see?

     

    It doesn't matter where he plays or in what system though he's a beast. We simply need more beasts on the DL to help take some of the focus off of him. Dareus at end and KW in the middle means we are one man away (theoretically) from having an all star front...of course we don't have a single LB haha...

     

    Agreed - in the same piece King mentions that Wilfork plays all the Pats DL positions

  2. Seriously? Are you trying to compare Fitz to Peyton Manning? :lol:

     

     

     

    I know the overall Football intelligence on this Board has hit an all time low when I see, in the same thread mind you, Fitz favorably compared to Peyton Manning and Jim Kelly...

     

    Come on folks...Let's get real...Fitz is playing well...OK...But really? :doh:

    It wasn't a favorable comparison - Manning went 3-13 his first year in Indy. No one thinks Fitz is a franchise QB, just sayin it's too early to tell. And Andrew Luck could be the next Ryan Leaf.

  3. Fitzy has the most elusive and important QB attribute - the ability to quickly read a defense and make a decision. What good was JP's stronger, more accurate arm when he could never figure out where to throw the ball? And isn't accuracy also a function of receivers running accurate routes? And the offensive line giving the QB enough time? I say give Fitzy more time to establish some chemistry with this group before writing him off. How long did it take Peyton in Indy?
