JUST A quick mock

Again, if he’s played at that weight and was already pretty quick off the ball, he’s just what is needed at 1T. Give me 2 dudes like him at DT and have speed at the other 9 spots, then the D can match up with anybody. I’m sure GB wishes they had someone that could clog up the run in the Championship game.
2 guys like him at DT and you'd never get a sack. Weight doesn't matter, not even for stopping the run. First step and length are infinitely more valuable than weight.

The Packers got run over b/c their LBers are terrible and they couldn't get penetration. It had nothing to do with size.

Future, I take it you haven’t t realized yet that a good running scheme can actually take advantage of penetrating defenses. That’s exactly how the Rams gashed Dallas last year - used their quickness against them. And, 2 penetrating DT’s can also be taken advantage of if they’re not making plays in the backfield. But, creating a wall in the middle only lets you run outside, which should make life easier for the back 7 if they’re fast and can tackle.

Sure it can. But you can always adjust the defensive scheme to...not penetrate. I'd rather have the option. But the idea of "creating a wall in the middle" is nonexistent. You only do that by throwing bodies in gaps.
