actually Tripplett and Sam Adams are nothing alike. Tripplett is an energy player with a motor that doesn't quit. Sam adams is a beast who takes up the whole interior line. If you think Tripplett is the replacement for adams you are completly wrong. And I don't even know how great his pass rush will be without Freeney and Mathis on the outside. It is still a good signing, as long as Tripplett doesn't revert back to his lazy self like he was in his frist 3 years with the colts.
