With Neal pitching in on the interior

I have a feeling this will not happen. Neal is a DE all the way, at 6'2-255 he is not going to play DT.

When I heard this initially, it made me a bit worried because it sounded somewhat desperate, but maybe with QT coming back and hopefully Valentine joining the team very shortly, this will not be necessary.

The coaches just reported that Neal is moving for depth purposes. I do think he plays both. Teheuma is small, but I like his instincts. Patterson may see some time as a rush end on 3rd down. Bower will have a chance to play a ton.

Yeah me too. I've seen it posted before that he might play some DT but 255 seems way too small.

I have a feeling it WILL happen, and it will be permanent. Neil has explosiveness that no one else has. Chavis will use him at DT in passing situations because he has the ability to penetrate. I don't think he'll play DT in run packages. But Neil looks like the hybrid DE/DT for 2014 and probably for his whole LSU career.
