Run Stuffer

BigEthel · 02-03-2004, 10:44 PM

I know this may be a dumb question for most of you. I do respect everyone's opinions and thoughts. One of our biggest problems last year was not being able to stop the run. I know and understand our needs include WR, LB and CB, but, as long as we may be trading down, does it not make sence to draft a Wilfork type DT as a "run stuffer?" I know that would not solve our LB delima, but is it out of the question??????

It is an option. I would not be upset at all if we drafted a run stuffer, actually we have to sometime.

With that being said, I do not expect us to draft Wilfork or any DT in the 1st. There are going to be some real big boys available in rounds 2-4 that could easily fit the need.

The kid I'm impressed with is Isacc Sopoaga from Hawaii

Fergie doesn't cut it for me. A linebackers best friend is a DT that can take on blockers. Ask NE's LBs how much having Ted Washington helped them out.
