I don’t really feel that manner in any respect… I do know he didn’t begin the final sport, however that was all package deal primarily based. I’m not attempting to place him in as a major cowl man, the place Matt Judon has finished that job all through his total profession, so we felt comfy there. If they might have got here out in a smaller grouping, then Chop would have began the sport… I’m proud of the place Chop is at.”
