00:00What do you think about Grady Jarrett? What have you thought about that dude?

00:03That's a 31-year-old man, former fifth-round pick, who's been in Atlanta forever,

00:09a stalwart in the middle of the defensive line, and we'll have to learn more about him.

00:14Tell us what you think about him, and think about them adding somebody

00:17instead of hoping Javon Dexter just makes the next step.

00:23I think you still can hope that Dexter Sr. can continue to move forward and be that guy in the

00:31middle, but you also bring in a veteran that can actually teach him and help him along,

00:36a guy that is built for a gap-style defense. He's shooting a gap, he's getting upfield.

00:42When he's healthy, he is a monster, and he's a problem for any offense to have to deal with.

00:48Having that problem in the middle, now it helps our edge rushers. It helps out Sweat,

00:53it helps the opposite end, it helps on blitzing where the quarterback can't step up into the

00:59pocket. You want those guys in the middle. We had Tommy Harris, Tank Johnson, Ian Scott,

01:06you have those guys that can get up the field in a hurry, and that's what you get, I think,

01:11in a 10-year veteran like Grady Jarrett. I'm glad we made the move. I'm glad he's

01:17coming to Chicago. I think he's going to be a huge help, not just his productivity, but

01:24helping some of the young guys, and especially Dexter on that defensive line.
