Most fans evaluate defensive lineman based on sacks and don't realize that some guys roles are just to take up blockers...so they thought he was terrible.
Billings and Sims are definitely downgrades to him at this point. Hopefully Billings improves.
Peko was always a good "big guy" and still is. It was inevitable we'd be moving to next generation guys. Whether it is Peko or Whit... it was likely we'd go young when it seemed the playoffs were out of reach at the moment.
