re: Cap update: ~$2m over, Will Smith update: still fat

he just needs to hold up at the point of attack and help free the linebackers.

and i think on passing situations he can get after the QB. keep in mind the blitzing options from the outside are increased in the 3-4. He goes from being the guy in the 4-3 that they must key on on 3rd down, to the 3rd/4th option they must block in the 3-4. That takes some pressure off of him.

I think he did that in DAL because he never had a true NT. He had jay ratliff and that is what he was best at.

back in CLE he had Shaun Rogers at NT, and ran a more traditional front
