Nice article, great imagery. My question is can Jason’s body take it. At 6-6 260, him lining up at linebaker (middle or whatever) introduces a mismatch. A mismatch not in favor of the Dolphins, Jason upright has a harder time getting leverage enough to bring running backs down, and they will be the primary means of attacking Jason. You might say he has done it at DE, but also remember he’s already low in at that stance and basically he’s standing up into the running back and not coming down on him. This in turn gives him some modicum of leverage, to push, lift and get the runner down. Jason may very easily play great, I hope he does. I however think a freelance role suits Roth better then Taylor. Roth is 272 and only 6-4, Lavar A. is basically the same thing and we all remember that Orange night playing against Ricky (Ricky saw the sky more than once that night, and it wasn’t from a comfortable position). I hope Saban goes with the player and not the fan choice.
