Message: [QUOTE="TDTOrange, post: 1170383, member: 509"] Kevin Mitchell is another one that comes to mind as an undersized DL, and he was playing as a 3-4 NT. I was pretty young at the time, but I found it fascinating that he played NT in college and then carved out a pretty nice career as an NFL MLB. As far as Thompson, while I'm not focusing on the DL play all that closely while watching the games, I don't think he's the one in there taking on the double-teams. That's more Crume/Williams/Raymon now, playing the Nose, while the other DT is free to take on the guard 1 on 1. I hope all 3 of our bigger guys are healthy come the last couple games v. Pitt and BC. I'd hate to have Ron trying to plug the middle too much against the run-heavy teams. We've been able to get away with it so far since most of the teams we've played to this point are spread-type teams. [/QUOTE]
