Yep, I knew you were going to gloat at some point :-).

Again, for the whole 6 games, Sessions has been just as bad as Wheeler, IMO. I think it is more in response to a question that a user had in the Polian Corner, much before you wrote about Wheeeler, I heard that question on radio on Monday and it was updated in the Q & A in the Polian Corner on Tuesday afternoon. Unless you were the user that asked the question????

Here is the Q & A:

Q: Is there any thought about getting Pat Angerer on the field at outside backer to get he and Clint Session on the field at the same time? Wouldn’t that compensate for the weakness at defensive tackle? And with Antonio Johnson hurt, will Ricardo Mathews get more playing time?

A: The answer to the second question is yes. In answer to the first question, is I guess I would say, ‘Right church, wrong pew.’ There’s no question that Pat and Clint are very explosive, aggressive, instinctive players. You would like to get them on the field together if you could, in some form or fashion. The question is, ‘How do you do that?’ We don’t measure it based on statistics, especially tackles, because that’s a statistic that’s not very reliable. But in terms of the way they play, their quickness to the ball, their ability to punch people when they tackle, their instincts – very similar. How do you do that? The staff’s sitting down and thinking about that right now. As to the purported weakness at defensive tackle, it is not based on ability as much as it is on function. We are not functioning at the correct fundamental level at that position, which is why it can be corrected and it will get better. Of course, having Mookie Johnson back would certainly help and Rico will have some difficulty when he’s first in there, because that’s the toughest position for a rookie to learn how to play in the National Football League other than quarterback. For example, (second-year defensive tackle) Fili (Moala) is having a heck of a year. Well, it’s his second year. He should. A year ago people were complaining about Fili. We said, ‘Give him time. Everything will be OK.’ Rico’s going to struggle, too. The bad news is we haven’t been having the kind of play at defensive tackle that we did last year. The good news is we can correct that fundamentally. That’s one of the things that John Teerlinck, our great defensive line coach, was trying to get done during the bye week. We can get better at that.

To me, Ricardo has the same athleticism that Foster has but is bigger while doing it. I think he is 290 lbs or something like that while Foster is about 275 lbs. To me, he looked disruptive in that Redskins game. If he succeeds, Foster or Dawson will be fighting for minutes big time and it is bound to happen if Ricardo continues to play well.

like Angerer,, lot of energy hard woker and plays hard and not tentative, Wheeler can back him up

because Muir is either injured or regressed and Mookie is out. People love to complain about our O-line but our DTs are the weakest part of this team, IMHO.

it’s caldwell that won’t make the adjustment
