Montgomery has the size but his lack of motor could kill him at Nose because it is a motor position. He'd need to light a serious fire under his ass to do it well. Otherwise he'd be one of the pretenders.
Sure I completely understand the difference between the two, just generally speaking it sounds like he's more effective at his position than Griff was/is at his. If that makes sense. I think you answered my question though.

I'm looking forward to seeing how he works out during training camp.

And no, this isn't our first Samoan player. Joe Salave'a was the first or at least the most recent.
