[QUOTE="paulska, post: 611181, member: 557"] Not saying that Williams and House are analogous in the early parts of their careers, but they are similar in that both had only shown limited glimpses of consistency/potential before we made the decision to pay/not pay them big money. I clearly remember many wondering if TT had made a Jones-esque blunder in paying Tramon as much as we did. It did work out though. I tend to agree that paying House what he got just to keep him may not have been good decision making. I just wonder if we had offered him more than we did earlier in the process might have kept him around. We'll never know now. As for Peppers, I don't mean to say he can play ILB as a starter/regular, just that he has enough athleticism that he can play that role within our scheme in packages for sleight of hand purposes. Woodson was never big enough to start as an OLB, but because of his athleticism and size we could use him in situations in that role to effect. We didn't do it a lot, but when we did, it generally was effective because of his tremendous natural tools. I think Peppers is similar (though to a less dominant degree) in that respect. [/QUOTE]
