Agree for the most part, save for the fact that while Reader CAN penetrate, Sam Adams was a much better pass-rusher than Reader has been to this point in his career. ![[Image: Truck_1_0_1_.png]](https://card.psnprofiles.com/2/Truck_1_0_1_.png)

Billings and Tupou were about the same last year which surprised me. I thought Tupou was only a run stopper but he shown something in the pass rush at times surprisingly. Tupou is one big dude. Disagree with you on Sam, he was primarily a run stopper. Reader is a better pass rusher than Sam Adams IMO.

However, he was only technically a "NT" once in his 14 year career. His rookie year has him listed as "LDE", every other season he's listed as "LDT", according to Pro Football Reference. But, just for comparison, Adams had 404 tackles and 44 sacks in 14 NFL seasons, our very own Geno Atkins is currently sitting at 383 tackles and 75.5 sacks, after his 10th season in the NFL. Nate, your claim of Adams being primarily a run stopper would be accurate. Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations -Frank Booth 1/9/23

Thanks Sunset. Sam sure seems like he would of been one big damn End. Thought he was around 330+ pounds for most of his career. Was Sam's last season with us? I remember he was getting up there when we brought him in. Liked the guy.

I don't think he ever played for a 3-4 team, his entire career.

Tupou and Reader are the two biggest guys on the team at 345 and 347 respectively and yet they're both surprisingly mobile. You watch Tupou and he has the good hand work that lets him get either get off a block or need to be double teamed.

Thought so, more hybrids for Sam makes sense.
