Very little depth?

Why?

We have like 10 DLinemen who will be 2nd year players and up who were all highly rated coming out of high school.

At some point, these guys need to start producing and we need to not make excuses.

I, for one, believe that they will and that we wil be just fine on defense. The maturation of the defense this year spoke volumes to me in that regard.

Expectations high. As always.

I see it both ways. This year we lacked experienced depth and it showed. However, we will have guys that I think should be able to step up next year. Plus I think our DE's will be solid.

Because we will have lost 5 underclassmen on the DL the last 2 years.

It's crazy people dont understand how crippling this is.

If Rasco and Allen come back, we have 2 seniors and a Jr in the DE rotation (not counting Maclin, who might step up).

Bower and LaCouture both saw significant PT as freshmen, and Q Thomas has had plenty of reps. This leaves a few highly talented RS frosh to fill in the rotation at DT, and you also have a guy like Mickey Johnson that can at least take up space and reps.

We will have the most experience on Def this year in the past 3 seasons.
