If Cedric Thornton and Stephen Paea are the best options at nose tackle, do they have the consistency to stop the run playing at 300 pounds? Shouldn’t we get a big-bodied player in there close to 325 or higher?
Bryan: This defense was first in the NFL against the run last season without a 325 pounder inside. It’s about the combination of players you have in those spots and not just one guy. I like what I’ve seen over the years from Paea playing the run and pairing him with Maliek Collins should be a nice fit.
