    SoDev Don't tase me, bro!

    The Packers look like theyre planning to get Ryan Pickett and B.J. Raji on the field together as much as they can. When the Packers drafted Raji with the No. 9 overall pick in April, they talked of moving one of the two behemoth defensive tackles to play some end in their new 3-4 defensive scheme, and in offseason practices theyve done it. When both players have been present, theyve lined up with the No. 1 base defense: Pickett exclusively at nose tackle and Raji at defensive end.

    Sounds like a dumb Dom Capers move

    I don't think the concept is terrible, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if I saw Vince Wilfork and rookie DT Ron Brace on the field at the same time for the Patriots from time to time. I'm sure it's only for certain packages used from time to time...I think its a decent idea
