Not sure if he's what we are looking for.

i think he may be just a little too over the hill. His career looks to be going nowheres but downhill and his 0.5 sacks in 15 games is rather dissapointing.
i may be wrong but i thought he played defensive tackle.. he looks to be a big defensive end but maybe he switched to the outside.

He was a 3-4 defensive end in Houston, but had a very good year at DT for the Titans before he went there.

He is actually a DT and the movement to 3-4 DE didnt work for him. So his stats would be a bit off over those years

and playing for the Titans i imagine he was just primarily a run stuffer, as i thought they started Haynesworth and Starks, but i could be wrong
