I believe something that has passed completely under the radar is the improved play of NT Paul Soliai. When Odrick went down a lot were worried because Starks would be moved back to DE and it was believed a hole would be left at the NT position, but that has not happen. Soliai has taken command on the NT position and I truly believe he will not be letting go of the starting position anytime soon. Paul's play has been great this offseason and it is really starting to show. He has proven his doubters wrong, show constant improvement each year and will only get better with experience and age. I hope this is just the beginning of better things to come from big Paul Soliai. Great job Soliai, keep it up.
Our run defense has been pretty good this year and Soliai is one of the main reasons why. Him taking his game to the next level was huge for our defense and will continue to be.
