    First game action this year, what did everyone think?

    He was lined up at DT to start the game, and I can't remember him playing any DE. He was nice to have with the injuries we've suffered at DT.

    I thought he looked really good, but a bit rusty.

    He was a big contributor, clogging line and making some plays. He looked about 40 pounds heavier than I remember him, that's for sure.

    RJF would have been nice to have through the year to add some depth, as I'm pretty sure he would have been above Nevis and Woods on the depth chart.

    He's been practicing all year, but he did show some game rust. I thought somebody had said he was our best lineman after Dorsey, though.

    I don't think he should have seen the field...

    Why?

    You would've preferred Al Woods & Drake Nevis be our 2 primary DT's?

    Yeah, why not? He served a season-long suspension and this was the first game he was allowed to play in. It seemed to me he proved to coaches throughout the year in practice that he deserved to be starting.
