Andrew Harris should have a field day this afternoon with where Makana Henry is lined up on the field. He's the starting nose tackle who last played football in 2009 with the Burlington Braves. I wish I was joking but I'm not.
There interior of the defense line has been a mess since December 2013 when Taman destroyed it in the expansion draft as Keith Shologan and Zach Evans were both left unprotected and taken. Tamans reason at the time would have been fine but his words later made no sense as they wanted to go with starting Internationals at that position. Last year they went back with Nationals who were really bad.
Evans has developed into a damn good football player, who is arguably the best at his postion now not named Ted Laurent with his passport. How things might be different if they still could line up Shologan and Evans, or maybe just Evans.
