Until last year he was consistently one of the key pieces in one of the best D-lines in the league. he was alwasys among the leagu leaders in tackles by an interior lineman, and Mike Zimmer praised him as the bets NT he had ever coached.
The criticism Peko has gotten around here for years is the same that Justin Smith did. It came form people who were not very good at evaluating D-line talent.
We always disagree on Peko Fred i know. I have just always found him to be a one trick pony.
He was a fine run stopper a few years back and he can take up space which is most of what a NT should do.
I also remember the Zim comment too. Seemed like crazy high praise for a NT that cannot get into the backfield often.
I know that is not the job of a NT specifically but i want a big DT that is not a one trick pony and Domata at his best is just that.
I won't comment on the Justin Smith dealio, no relevance.
