If this fatty lives up to his hype then it could be the key to having a decent defense a lot sooner than I expected. An actual playmaker at NT will only help the DT and DE make plays. It'll keep blockers off the weak (for now) LBs, freeing them up to run and read the play unencumbered. It'll flow down to the DBs when he helps stop the run without backfield help and collapses the pocket a half second sooner. I just hope he's worth that contract. If he is the defense should be capable of top-half performances consistently.
