Pro Football Weekly's "The Way We Hear It" feature this week points out the problems that the Jets and Patriots are both having at defensive tackle.
The Jets had planned for Josh Evans to start at their three-technique tackle spot, with first-round pick Jimmy Robertson playing behind him. But with Evans probably done for the year (drug suspension), Robertson becomes the starter right away and they'll have to find a street free agent to back him up. :
The Pats are switching to a 3-4 and needed to get a nose tackle in the draft because Richard Seymour doesn't have the technique to play that role. But the guy they used their first pick on, Ty Warren, has the same problems, and their other rookie, Dan Klecko, is way too small. :nesucks:
I have circled those four games on my calendar, as I expect we'll see that counter play that worked so amazing late last year about 20 times in each.
