yes, the dreaded double face palm

FWIW, a lot of people want to copy the Giants formula of drafting infinite pass rushers, however the Giants are able to deploy them in a number of spots because of their size. JPP (280) can play LE/RE and if he wasn't such an athlete could even slide inside (would waste his abilities), Tuck (268) can play LE or slide inside to DT on passing downs, Osi (255) can play LE or RE and Kiwi can play OLB or any of the D-Line spots in nickel situations.

We don't have that flexability. Moving Ware inside wastes his abilities. He needs to play LE/RE just like JPP. Irvin at 245 would have to take the other DE spot or a LB spot (which means Bruce Carter or Sean Lee sit) cause at 245 he would get stonewalled inside. Shea McClein may have that same problem, so you are talking about 2 spots, for 3 guys that need to play starter snaps. It could work, but it seems like a waste of resources.
