Does anyone with any real inside knowledge have any idea if these guys are going to get involved in the DT rotation anytime soon? What's the latest?

Is it still a disciplinary issue with Herron, or is he just not ready to see the field significantly? Last I heard Miles called him a "beast". I think that confused me more than anything. Does Les have a different definition of the word beast?

Apparently the 2013 dline haul was horribly missed. We signed Bain, Gilmore, Herron, Neal, and Lacouture. Only Lacouture has played meaningful snaps and true freshman have passed the others in week 1.

Baffling.

If they haven't played by now you shouldn't count on them in SEC play barring any injuries.

The bottom line is they arent good enough. The coaches only feel comfortable playing 3 DTs in the rotation right now in LaCouture, Thomas and Godchaux with Lewis Neal, a DE, seeing spot time.

The fact Thomas is playing with a torn bicep and Lewis a 255 pound DE is playing in front of guys like Herron, Bain and Gilmore should tell you what the coaches think about them right now.

This could have a been a much better season if all this hoopla around Valentine didnt get blown up.
