Gordon was on the scrap because he was a 6’1” 250 lb DT trying to compete against behemoth talents like Rogers and Hampton prior to ‘01. Collins is a guy with an NFL body with a low motor.

some good stuff here, except I think Collins plays mostly as the second DT rather than the second Jack, although I think he gets snaps there.
I also went back and found the deep dig charts but for some reason my percentages are different than yours.
I saw the following for 2022:
- Sweat (45%) and Ojomo (35%) as the primary DT's
- Coburn (43%) and Murphy (37%) as the primary NT's
- Broughton and Collins both played around 25% of the snaps at both Jack and DT.
For 2023 I would predict:
- Sweat (45%) and Collins (35%) as the primary DT's
- Murphy (45%) and Carter (35%) as the primary NT's
- Broughton and Bledsoe both play around 25% of the snaps at both Jack and DT.
Carter's biggest impact is that barring injury, Texas doesn't need to rely upon guys like Bryant and Mitchell who will be good eventually but aren't quite ready for primetime yet.
Because unlike last season, there are reports that he made significant efforts during the winter s&c and followed it up with his best spring since he's been in the program.
We definitely need a DT and TE for next year but it's hard to be worried with the transfer portal. There will be another Bear at DT, and there will be an impact TE like the one FSU or Arkansas got that wants to play on a big stage. I don't think the staff wants to count or rely on it but I do expect something to come from it because the opening will look too good.
Carter isn't a NT. That's not where he would remotely be at his best.
I wish I had a dollar for every time we've heard such a thing about players.
Yo’re assuming he stays healthy the entire season. And by playoff level that could mean as little as 7 or 8 wins. I’m paying what it would take to just get me to that level. The Texans need quite a bit. He alone isn’t near enough. And by the time they put the necessary pieces with him he’ll only be staying healthy for 8 games a season. Hard pass.

I think he, Sweat and Murphy will be rotating a lot, and I still wouldn't be shocked to see Collins get some time at End in bigger packages.
I think you'll see Murphy, Bryant and Mitchell splitting the majority of the NT reps. Sweat, Carter, Collins and Broughton will split the DT reps. Collins can play a little SDE, while Carter could play a few reps at NT.
The NFL that's why he came back. The plan for Koburn and Dmo were to leave after Sark's first year.
Based on? He was most effective at Minnesota when they let him line up at 2i, which wasn't often given their scheme. He was asked to do a lot of two gapping while lining up as a three tech, which is not his strength, as Alex pointed out. He actually lined up at 0T, 1T, 2i, 3T, and even some 4i in the Minnesota 3-man front, but he was at his best when he could attack one of the A gaps.
Yeah I’ve heard that—just didn’t know it was her. That’s the kind of song nine year old girls roller skate to.
" Trill Carter was seen by the Minnesota staff as a 3-technique defensive tackle, likely, as we've mentioned, due to the fact that he's not good when having to face an offensive lineman head-up and two-gap (meaning, having to take responsibility for the gaps on either side of the offensive lineman, both inside and out). In these situations, he gets driven off the ball. On the whole, Carter played 77.89% of snaps in the sample at the 3-technique, 9.47% at the 1-technique, 6.32% at the 2-technique (head up on the guard), 5.26% at the 4-technique (head up on the tackle) and 1.05% outside of the tackle entirely."
