I think he can play at NT. But I don't necessarily think he's an improvement on Bryant unless you're following the money trail.

I mean, Cofield is going to have to get his snaps. He's a young, talented football player with a good bill of health. So if he has to line up at nose to play in our defense, that's probably a good thing.

There's no question it will be the toughest assignment of his career. Bryant is still the proven commodity, at least until Cofield starts to dominate his old team on Sept 11.
