DT, with that big body, all he'd have to do is lay down and he'd clog up the whole middle.
OK, I know genius when I hear it.
If Big is not going to be a LT, he earns WAY to much to be a guard. ON THE OTHER HAND, this guy is just a FREAK of a physical specimen with a natural mean streak. You must find a place for him on this football team.
MAYBE defense is it. Can BIG make that transition? It could go like this...
GREEN: "Leonard, we are going to try you out as our under DT. I know this is going to be a change for you, but then that’s all you have been doing is playing different positions for the last three years."
BIG: "I don't know coach..."
GREEN: "Listen Leonard, it really is easier than offense, you don't have to learn plays or assignments or anything really difficult; when the ball is hiked, I want you to go to the ball, crushing anything in your way and then crushing the person who has the ball when you get there...oh, you can pickup the ball when they drop it. Think you can do that for me Leonard"?
BIG: "Yea coach, heuh-heuh, sound like fun, heuh-heuh, I can do that."
...and a All-Pro Defensive Tackle is born...
P.S. Green HAS changed lineman from one side to the other before...
