If we do lose Williams, i'd feel confident enough in Purcell.

Thanks to the injuries. He should be a true NT this year.

Dude really gets a good start off the ball. I just worry that he is specifically a one-gapper good against short-yardage only.

For some reason....I see this guy as being a good guard. He seems to be quick off the snap and to get into a guys pads, and he's shorter, and can get lower, which lends more to being a guard. They brought in Alex Balducii to be an OL, who was a DT in college, but I think Purcell is a more explosive athlete.

I don't know if he fits the 3-4 defense. Doesn't quite have the size/range of DE, and not sure that he has the stoutness at POA to be a NT.
