We found Sedrick Ellis' best position

I've been waiting to see the Sed that I saw at USC, where I argued that he was better than Glen Dorsey and the best defensive player in the country. Don't get me wrong, he's been good with the Saints, but never looked like the terror future All Pro that he was at USC.

Yesterday, we saw that player, and I really think it was bc he was back to playing his natural position, nose tackle. He was the NT for USC for 4 years, and I really think he had some trouble adjusting to the 3 technique here. But yesterday, lined up at nose tackle in GW's 3-4, he played absolutely awesome. He was so quick off the ball, that their center couldn't handle him. A couple of plays, he simply pushed him 5 yards back into the backfield and made him look like a sissy. And this wasn't one of their rookie guards, it was a veteran center.

He truly played like an all pro type player yesterday. If we keep playing him at NT, I think we'll continue to see him blowing up the backfield and getting into the QBs face. Maybe he won't do it against Mangold this week, but I don't see many centers in the league handling him. Grant and Hargrove should be able to play DE in the 3-4 or even 3 technique in the 4-3, so I hope to continue to see Sed at NT a lot.

Also, he made a couple of hustle plays in the 2nd half that were awesome. He tracked down one of their guys a yard short of the first down on that 3rd down in the 4th quarter, right before their fans booed Jauron for punting. It was a great play for a 300 lber. I'm really starting to think that Sed may be emerging as our best player on defense, he showed signs of it yesterday.
