no i'm not saying the sky is falling but our DL recruiting hasn't exactly lit the world on fire as of late. although not as bad as the OL recruiting in 13 & 14, where we missed on several JC offensive lineman. eventually Coach Meyer will land a blue chip DT. In the mean time I think we could get help on the inside from guys like Dylan Thompson 6-4 275 and Jason Cornell 6-4 260 have the frames to play inside a little. As much as the coaches like talking about Hubbard he could possibly play a few snaps a game inside to give the big boys a breather as well. Tracy Sprinkle may be able to help inside also. Bosa,Schutt,Washington and Lewis backed up on the inside by Hale,Hill,Munger,Hamilton,Cornell,Alabi,Landers and Sprinkle. @ DE Fong,Holmes, Dremont Jones (probably big enough to play a little inside), Slade and Rashod Berry who I think could be the surprise contributor from the 15 class. I'm probably missing a few. After lookin @ all the bodies we have I'm not nearly as concerned about the DT depth. I think as more time goes by Coach Johnson will have more and more impact on the development of our young DE's and DT's. I'm really hoping we see a deeper rotation than last year, in conference play at least. What say you?
Concerns with the DL?
