re: Does LaCouture end up losing his starting position next year?

I need to see him play. Hype sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. As Roger pointed out, if Valentine is good he will play a lot of snaps. Chavis has proven over the years if there is minimal drop of he will play as many as 6 DTs and 6 DEs to keep them fresh. When we see only 3 or 4 playing those spots, it means there is more than a minimal drop off with the 4th or 5th guy up in the rotation.
