Thoughts: Last year when I was putting together this countdown I felt as if DeAngelo was a perfect fit for the starting Nose Tackle position. He had the size, the strength and the shiftiness to not get pushed around and fill the gaps up the gut, even though he was still coming back from in a injury just a season ago. Grantham apparently agreed with me as Brown got the opening night start against the Hurricanes and played pretty solid, along with the rest of the defense. Then, Pio started playing out of his damn mind. Grantham couldn’t keep him off the field, and with Rankins and Dubose playing great at the ends he gave Pio the nod at NT for the next few contests with Brown…
