u say you did your homework but all you did was type his name in google and give me the first site you see. what kind of homework is that? wow, u probably didnt do too well in school if thats your kind of homework. unlike you i actually watch these player and their games, rather than just looking at random sites to get all my information. who knows who will end up being a better player, but i can tell you right now that Balmer has the size to be a much better fit in our system than Merling. in the 3-4 all we need our linemen to do is to occupy the offensive line and not let them get to the second level. if they get sacks great, but that is not their primary responsibility. Balmer has about 30 pounds on Balmer. meaning that he will be much tougher for Olinemen to deal with than Merling who is more of a pass rusher. in addition Balmer has the ability to bulk up a little on slide inside to play the DT. i dont see Merling being able to do that. so maybe Merling can be a great fit for the Dolphins, but I think that if McCloghan and Nolan thought he would be a better fit in our system then they would have drafted him. i guess you dont understand football, bc its not really fair to compare stats with these two guys, they play different positions. so if you want to think Merling is better then go ahead, but I kno that Balmer is bigger and can be a great fit in our 3-4. also, Balmer has been criticized for not showing his potential until his senior year, i would say that is when he finally got some quality coaching in butch davis who has NFL experience, just imagine how much he can imporve with constant NFL coaching for multiple years.
