Someone mentioned that JT has more career defended passes & Int.s than Carlos Rogers. That's not a knock on Rogers really, I believe batted down passes count as passes defended.

Let's not forget that dude is 6'5 & athletic, even when he's blocked he is an obstacle at the line & he's quick enough to get a good vertical jump. He'll knock down some balls, something the skins D has done very well under GW, hopefully we see that continue w/Blache.

Also, JT plays the screen very well & gets downfield after recievers on those quick hit slants & hooks. We could improve by 5 sacks this year & see a big difference. QBs will be quicker to get rid of the ball. We might see less of an impact on sacks & more int.s & fumbles.
