Big boys gets tired and is not going to be able to play the % of snaps as the ends and you want him resting in passing situations, hes 335 lbs lol.  I'd bet the house on if you asked Doug if Hamilton is a rotational player he would tell you no he's our starting NT  lol.   It's good Fatukasi is looking healthy and can hold the middle down in base packages until Hamilton gets back

Derp-Derp

Hamilton starts at NT and Fatukasi plays the same spot on a very similar amount of snaps. They both also play elsewhere. 

You can die on this hill all you want. 

I just had the KC vs Jags games from week 10 last year pulled up on rewind to check out the chefs before this week.

So I started it over (in all22) and counted the number of snaps from each of these players when lined up over center.

I got 34 minutes into the all22 footage (just before half time) and the count was 

8 snaps over center for Fatukasi
7 snaps over center for Hamilton

I expected it to be more weighted in favor of Davon since the chefs pass so much, but it wasn't.

  Hamilton is our starting NT.  They brought in Fatukasi to help in run d and he will be the 3-4 starting end when Hamilton gets back. Yes he will back up Hamilton at NT as will Ledbetter. With that said they didnt just bring him in to be a NT.  He will likely get some snaps at 3 tech as well when we run some nickel in short yardage downs against some balanced teams.  This fantasy land you live in though just thinking we brought him in to play NT was debunked last year as it will again when Hamilton comes back this year. You're right though, it is what it is
