Cofield plays a lot of 1-tech so if we move to more of an attacking 3-4 he's a very good fit to play NT. If we stay in the 2-gap 3-4 he'll probably play DE with Bryant/Neild/tbd platooning at NT.

Great signing.

I like him a lot better as a DE than as a 2-gap NT, too. However, I fear we will play him primarily as a 2-gap NT.

We'll see.
