Your "bedrock" NT got blown off the ball on the first play of the game.
Why is Mt. Cody better than Wilfork, because Mt.Cody does not get blown off the ball by lowly double teams.
College double teams. Hardly the same as double teams from two players of NFL caliber. Which in itself isn't the same as a double team from two players of NFL playoff caliber.
I'm not a football technique expert, but if you're going to correct me then please give your reasoning:
First play of the game is always going to be tricky, especially in the trenches. I'm thinking of things like hand position, special moves, footwork, body angles and positions.
Did Wilfork get obliterated? Yes, he did. Is this a regular thing for him? Hardly...
Haynesworth could play the nose, he would be awesome on the nose.
Haynesworth is the perfect 3-technique tackle. He shouldn't play the nose in a 3-4, it doesn't suit him in the slightest. The guy is 6'6, meaning that that the opposing linemen will generally be able to get underneath him and drive him off the ball. Casey Hampton is 6'1, Vince Wilfork is 6'2, Kelly Gregg is 6'0. I will concede however, in that in my research I found that both Kris Jenkins and Shaun Rogers are 6'4...and both weigh 350lbs plus.
Is it really worth Haynesworth putting on all that weight? To match their build he'd need to add about 30lbs, I don't think he has the right build at the moment. You don't see any skinny nose tackles. Surely it's a crazy idea. It'd make far more sense, in a 3-4, to treat like him like Haloti Ngata and line him up at DE on regular downs.
