Wilforks problem is they have his position mislabeled. While he was a serviceable DT his primary position was nose tackle. This may seem small but it's significant because they have entirely different stat expectations. A nose isn't meant to rack up tackles or sacks, his job is to stuff up the center of the line and free up linebackers to make plays. Not only is he the best to ever do this, he did it while also having highlight reel plays like the butt fumble. Dude weighed close to 400 lbs and could dunk. It is a crime he wasn't put in on the first ballet and unforgivable that we are on year four waiting for that call
