Hatcher had a career year in 2012 also. He is a good player but he will be 31 when the season starts.

Crawford, that will be up to the staff on where he fits cause I'm still in between on him at DT or DE. Lissemore, well he is the round piece in a square hole along with all the rest of the list of guys we have at the position now.

I don't see any problem with Lissemore playing the 1-tech. It might be a better position for him than either DE or NT in RR's defense.
What other guys are "round pieces" in a square hole?

Getting rid of all those guys (Spears, Coleman, TRat) can help only if you have youth ready to replace them, and right now we don't and it just makes our list of needs longer.

The issues with these players are separate from the scheme.
Coleman is 34. Spears is overweight and has a degenerative condition in one or both knees. Ratliff can't seem to stay healthy. Probably from being an undersized NT for too many years.
