As a casual observer, there would appear to be a great deal of concern over our depth since Lealaimatafao & Godchaux fell from grace. Wasn't Lealaimatafao going to be a red shirt anyway? Is Godchaux healthy enough to even be in the rotation (red shirt)?

I see our depth this way;

Starters - Thomas - Lacouture
Backups - Gilmore - Bain - Herron

I realize that Gilmore, Bain, Herron are all in their 2nd year, however they certainly have the size and talent to play a lot. I don't remember any year under Chavis where our D-Line pay has not been solid.

Rotation - Thomas, Lacouture, Glimore, Bain, Herron

Redshirts - Lealaimatafao, Godchaux, Valentine

Zero effect on this year. It's Lacouture, Thomas, Gilmore, Bain, and Heron. After that we forfeit.

Uh, you don't have to remember very far back. Last year's D-line play was awful.

Our D-Line depth is fine... Just like any other team if 2 or 3 go down we will be in trouble but our guys haven't shown to be injury prone... (knocking on wood)...

I think we ought to try and figure a way to get coach O on staff it seems our D-line recruiting has taking a step back. CLM has been here for 10 years an it always seemed to be the next man up attitude we knew the year before how good the 2nd string was. For the last two years it doesn't seem that way.
