His job is to take on double teams and clog up the middle of the line so that second level players and DE's are left free to plays in run support. As a pash rusher his job was to help collapse the pocket so that our ends could make plays. There are very few DT's with high sack totals. Even in the NFL there are only a handful of them Look at the number of sacks our outside defenders had last season, you think that number occurs without someone solid anchoring the middle of the defensive line? With all of the outside pass rushers now departed, it's likely that Toia would have seen an increased role as one of the leaders in DL room. Moreover, who is that you think is going to replace him?
