TJ Slaton is a Bengal

[Joelist]

Slaton reminds a bit of Domata Peko, another big DT who people didn't always appreciate because he lacked "splash" but the numbers did not lie - when he was in the run defense was rather better. Why? Because he anchored his spot, took at least one possibly 2 blockers and thus made things easier for the rest of the DL. This was what Slaton brought to the Pack and what we hope he brings here. We had a DT room last season of essentially all 3Ts (Jackson despite his size plays like a 3T) and the lack of anyone fitting the NT role came back to bite us a lot.
