I saw him on the field a few times but was not specifically watching him play. When I did see him on the field, I didn't notice anything special. He is supposed to have great talent.

I have heard a lot more about Golston - who has generated a buzz due more to his work ethic than his talent or production. Not saying he hasn't been productive, but the usual Golston line is that he gets the most out of his somewhat limited ability. He seems to be popular and servicable.

Montgomery, on the other hand, I have not really heard much from either the coaches or players. What has been said seems to be along the line of "Great ability and talent, inconsistent performance". Maybe he has stepped it up. I hope so.

Another thing, I had the impression that Golston was viewed as a bit small to play DT, but he is listed at 6' 4", 320 whereas Montgomery is 6'6" 315 (and Griffin is listed 6'3", 311). Seems to me both Golston and Montgomery are plenty big to play the center of the line. Much bigger and they would simply be 350 lb blobs incapable of making a play out of arms reach (e.g. Sam Adams and other "Big Blob" DT's).

They maybe considered small b/c GW clearly wants his LB's to be running free (Otherwise, why the complete revamp of the LB corp for speed). If this is the case, then yes they may be too small.

On the other hand, it may be that GW wants the DT's to penetrate and disrupt leaving the LB's to plug and fill. This seems a bit more high risk as, once the runner clears the line, not sure our LB's equipped to take on guards and centers blocking free.

I will be interested to see how our defensive center holds up. I hope that Montgomery has all the talent that has been attributed to him AND that the light has turned on for him. As I said, the reports I read were that IF the light turns on, not that it HAD turned on.
