Knighton is that big body in the middle that we've been lacking, so lines will be forced to double team him when running the ball. That leaves Paea and Hatcher to attack upfield and shoot gaps to penetrate and disrupt, or just flat out set the edge in the run game.

Teams will try to run up the middle and run into a wall with Knighton. Backs will be forced to bounce it a bit, in which case Paea and Hatcher are quick and strong enough to set an edge. It should work well.

Paea will not have a lot of sacks for us. But that's not what he was brought here for. He can however provide enough of a push in the middle on passing downs to enable the edge rushers to get home. If Kerrigan gets 14 or 15 sacks, it will be in part thanks to Paea and Hatcher pushing the pocket on passing downs.

Hopefully Hatcher ' s health will make this a reality past 3 games into the season.

I love the guy but don't think he will be durable through next season.

Well, Bowen and Cofield are gone. Better health on the line should mean Hatcher can be rotated out more often.

I've always said Hatcher should only be used as a pass rush specialist like we used Jumpy Geathers back in the day. Bring him in only only in 2nd and 3rd and long. The regular 1st and 10 and running down DL should be a rotation of Knighton, Paea, Baker and Jean Francois.
I am hoping they do this so Hatcher can be healthy the entire season and most importmantly playoffs.
