When they don't play in the scheme, you get situations like we got on Thanksgiving Day - different people at different times freelancing to some degree.

We love the way he plays the game. We're looking for somebody who can knock people off the ball for us and that can also stretch the field a little bit. He's very athletic for a big guy.
