I kind of like the idea of fox keeping meeks from getting to carried away with the undersized dts because we can't afford be slack in run d.

We were in need of a NT type after the loss of Kemo so thats why we went after two of the bigger body DT's. Even though I like Tyler more at UT.

Besides when it comes to interior line (both sides) height is vastly overrated. The whole idea is to get the best leverage and time has shown that a slightly shorter player usually wins the leverage battle. I can understand wanting a 6'3 or above DE but its far more important to me what DT weigh and Atkins at 6'1 290 he is about right for the UT position IMO.
