If we sign Von Oelhoffen as a DE could Dwyane Rob be a good NT? He is close in size to Patriots NT Vince Wilfork.
what do u mean? he isnt big or he isnt a pussy? I would say he is about 320 pounds, thats plenty big...he just aint strong
You might want to look up his combine numbers before you say that agian.... or you'll look silly, again.
I think he's strong enough, and definitely has an added bonus of quickness for a big man, but that's not what a 3-4 NT does, their job is to just plug up guards and centers so the linebackers can do what they want...he doesn't have that ability because his legs will give out on him.
How you gonna call him weak and a pussy. You dont know how much he lifts. He aint no pussy. Id like to see any of you even try to play through an injury and you see how you like it. You act like its the easiest thing.
Drob is not a pussy, he can wreak some havoc as a 3-T when there is a solid line around him, but I don't think he can be a standout player without a supportive cast. Some players can, some players can't. The problem is that his frame is so compact tha he will have to stretch his shoulders and alter his center of gravity (which is the key to his success in the NFL) when pushing a gap. Jonathan Vilma's success in this defense depends on a solid NT to tie up blockers in the middle. I think DRob would get mauled in the middle. He may have some size, but it's not the right kind.
Mangini saw what New England did drafting Ty Warren as a DT then making him a DE. I could easily see them moving DRob to end...But that NT is looking bigger and bigger as a void.
