Les said after the spring game that if Lewis Neal would have played, he would have been 1st team with Bain 2nd team.

But in regards to the OP, a lot of it will depends on the situation, opponent, and what D we will be running. Because Steele runs both the 4-3 and 3-4. Bain is much better suited for a 3-4 DE and Godchaux could move outside in the 3-4 as well, while other guys like Teuhema, Key, etc. would be OLBs in that D.

Bower and Newl are the favorites, but I think we see a heavy rotation at DE. Mainly because the only 1 guy that saw significant snaps last year was Bower. A lot of unknowns and question marks, so we will probably give a lot of guys a chance, especially early on.

And I really like Isaiah Washington as well. Very underrated prospect who could def get some PT. He's very big and long and has a college body already. And is an extremely hard worker and a great young man. I think he will def surprise some people this fall.
