Saints re-sign Young and Simoneau [MERGED]

Casey Hampton, doesn't he play in a 3-4? If so, he is completely useless in this discussion. Brian Young isn't a space eater and doesn't draw double teams, why? Because that's Hollis' job. Young is the faster DT who can go and make plays while Hollis makes room for him. IIRC, Tommie Harris is a space eater, so again the comparison isn't apt. You know why those 3 have very few tackles? Because they are doing their job while a Brian Young-type is doing his: making tackles. You're comparing two different roles at the same position.

Your talking about your 3 technique...an over used phrase to justify a smaller tackle. It just means your a one gap player. You can weigh 350 lbs and play there if you fit the build. Many teams don't use this, and we may only have it b/c thats the personnel on board. Get the two best guys and put them in there, and thats what our FO will do. Why do you think we're talking about Shawn Rodgers and Stroud...they don't fit the 3 technique build either...but they can line up there and do the same job. Some stereotypes never die.

Tommy Harris is a space eater ? lol...possibly the most dominating DT in the game but he just EATS space. LMAO !!!!
