That's ok. A lot of fans misunderstand a lot of positions in McDermott's defense. Some people look at Edmunds' lack of TFL and think he should be playing DE. Just like how some people would call Alexander a part timer without understanding the toll playing everything from 0tech to WLB along the front 7 takes on your body.
If your take is that restructuring aging vet deals is somehow more indicative of the quality of their play as opposed to that of the front office, can't help you.
