I'm keeping him mostly at 3T and occasionally at NT in certain packages.
Let him focus on playing inside where he can be the most effective. Draft some ends who are actually worth a damn so you don't have to play him there.
Agree 100%.
I like versatile players, but sometimes we mess player up by moving them around too much. Early in his career the Bengals made Robert Geathers bulk up so they could play him as a DE/DT hybrid, and he just was not that type of player. And they played around with Michael Johnson for 2 years at LB before he finally bulked up to play full time DE.
Hardison needs to stay at DT and get stronger. Peko is on his last legs and we don't have anything that great to replace his snaps. I also agree that Hardison looks more like a 3T, but snaps are going to be available at NT and we need to get our best D-linemen in the game.
