Yep, and not to discredit the staff at the Skins and for me to mention for the 11tyth time that he decided on this before our new regime was even in place (let's not forget how abysmal the training program was as reported by former staff and players) but think about the Olympics.. these guys didn't become the best by staying in the same gym that they started in, they got people to train them and ended up typically getting the BEST to train them. His trainer can focus a lot more on HIM solely.
The only real thing that Albert's said about it was that he talked to them about how he thinks that he can best be used (same thing he did before coming to the team to begin with). He also said that they planned to have him in the middle some and on the end some and that once he looked over the 3-4 DE assignments he felt that it was close to his techniques in the 4-3 at DT so that would probably be the best fit for him. I think that we ALL agree that he wasn't used properly last year and I remember quite a few of us weren't happy about that. We signed the guy with promises and if anyone was being selfish in that regard it was us, whether The Danny called for it or not. Who knows if he would've went to another team had we not promised him the world.
