Jethro franklin Interview

[papabear]

I saw this over at Stephanie Stradley's blog....and I'm sure many of you have already seen it, but she links to a an interview with Jethro Franklin where he talks about the D-Line. I know the Travis Johnson is only slightly less hated than Petey Faggins by many Texans fans and I found the part where Jethro talks about him to be pretty interesting...mainly because I have been saying that I thought Travis Johnson had a pretty good year last year and people should cut him some slack.

On what they are looking at for the defensive tackle play next to the three technique DT: (Translated, hey man, do you want a space eating DT to help Okoye out or what?) Franklin: "The perfect world is what we have." "We have our guy Travis Johnson." "We want a guy who can move" "Travis Johnson did a heck of a job for us."

I know this could be a coach just giving a positive sound bite about one of his players, but it contradicts the prevailing wisdom of us needing a DT.
