I'm a little surprised that Schobel isn't in the top 25 at DE, but not at all surprised that the overrated Fat Pat didn't make the list at DT. I think many of us overvalue Williams, as did the Vikes.Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

I would say we overrated him. He was about as solid a DT as we could have hoped for. In 03 and 04 he had 83 and 81 tackles as a DT. That is unbelievable for a DT. Not too many Defensive lineman even approach 60 tackles and he had in the 80's for 2 straight years, not to mention he didn't make the pro bowl. I think he was robbed. He was definitely overshadowed last season by Sam Adams because of the sacks that Sam had. But even last year Sam only had 41 tackles and we all thought he was gods gift to DT's.
Pat was definitely a good one for us and will be missed. With that said, he definitely got more money then he deserved.

I think Pat made his mark by playing next to Teddy Washington and Sam Adams, who would occupy multiple blockers so Pat could do his thing. He'll be playing beside Kevin Williams this year, so his numbers might be decent again.
His success is largely due to playing alongside better players.Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

Exactly Jan..
Pat is a complimentary player who gains advantage over a blocker through his Strength and quickness.. He has put himself into a good situation with another Primary DT that can allow Pat to flourish.
