Yes, interesting.
The facts are that Washington missed only 6 games and to say there wasnt minimal impact in his absence is false. TW missed the Denver away game and the NE D had its first 100+ rusher in Clinton Portis that regular season. Klecko started at NT as was yanked out in the first quarter.
Klecko overall was a disaster at LB too, so his snaps or minutes there are really meaningless. 12 total tackles and 6 assists for all his minutes. Its like saying Maroney had an impact because he had 150 carries.
My impressions tend to agree with this. Ted Washington was immense and we were lucky that Ty warren played very well in his absence. Klecko was a joke at NFL NT.
