Butler to replace Star?

Nothing against star. He's been a great anchor for our line and allows Luke to roam free and everything, but I'd rather lock up Norwell long term.

We don't have anyone who can play at Norwell's level already on our roster but we have someone who can potentially do the same at NT in Butler. When he was drafted I remember his scouting tape saying he could play either NT or UT, so it looks like we'll be using him at NT moving forward.

Thinking it is likely. 

I know many think that Butler can't play the nose tackle spot, but I believe he can. The man is 330 pounds. Him and KK next to each other would look a lot like the Sapp/McFarland combo that helped win a Superbowl for Tampa Bay. 

You may be onto something.

Butler looked really good the second half of the season. If he stays healthy I don’t see a drop.

I'd agree with that line of reasoning.

There is, of course, the potential that we could lose both.
