Someone is going to have to kick Marinelli out of the War Room then.
I am actually saying that it might be ok with Rod as an exception to the rules of what he likes.
I think every coach and scout has certain parameters of what they like in a player. Height, Weight, Speed, Strength, body type and so on.
And many times they will stick with that.
The Cowboys normally like Tall Stout WRs for an example. Rod likes Strong DTs that are a little smaller in weight but very quick off the get off. And we know he does not value the 1tech as much.
However I think in rare cases there are players that might not fit a coach, scout or even teams ideal parameters...but they are just really great players that are the exception to the rules.
I think Vita could very well be that type of player. He is WAY bigger than Rod likes. He is known as a 1 Tech but I think he could play both one and three when needed due to his quickness.
Also we need to see who is brought in on the Defensive side of the ball in terms of coaches.
We will just fill the LB and DB coaching areas or will we bump Rod up to another title while giving one of the new guys the DC spot and if so...maybe that DC gets priority if he wants a big 1 DT in the middle.
I tell you guys. I pretty much ruled Vita out early on. But the more I think about it ...I think if he falls, and that is the big if...we may very well take him out. I am not going to dig my heels into this one like I thought I was early on.
