But I am not going to get in a big argument over this. All I am saying is that of all the NTs out there to prove your point you probably should have chosen one that was not a first round pick since it is the opposite of what you were trying to argue.
Yes I do.
Wade has been a coach for a long time.
His last 2 coaching stops (dating back to 2012) he used a NT over 50% of the time once. He used Earl Mitchell 52% of the snaps.
He doesn't value a big run stopping DT like you seem to think he does based on what another set of coaches did.
You are applying another staff's set of values to a man who has shown to disagree with that...and done so with incredible amounts of success.
Before that while in Dallas, he used Jay Ratliff as his NT. Ratliff was "undersized" and used to penetrate and cause disruption. Gee that sounds familiar.
He did it in Houston. He did it in Denver.
