And I definitely disagree that our Oline talent is that bad. Maybe slightly below average, but it's not going to be nearly as bad as last years.

For comparison's sake, Allen Bailey (who is the current nickel formation interior rusher opposite Poe) has a rate of 8.7 percent. Of course, that's in over four times more snaps than Catapano, so it would be misleading to assume Catapano was superior. Small sample size, and all that."

There was never any reason to not be optimistic about Catapano. As Staylor said he has shown a lot flashes. Only a few guys here were saying the guy was going to be an all pro, which was/is very premature. But those select few aren't nearly as bad as the 10,000 of you here who blindly hate on the guy because its the cool thing to do.

He has Jared Allen potential for sure.
