Definitely not a key, but would be ideal if he played a role
Disagree, I think for our defensive front to be successful, we need him at NT. LaCouture cant play NT, Godchaux is an emergency plug ther ebut pretty undersized. Clearly they dont trust Gilmore to play that many snaps. Valentine makes things so much better for us up the middle.
Valentine gives us a true 2-deep on the DL with him and Gilmore at NT; Neal, Godchaux, LaCouture and Herron at DE.

I agree with this. I like our front but to me seem vulnerable to the power run game in the 4th quarter. TV changes that.

The NT in Aranda's scheme isn't the same role as the NT in say Saban's 3-4. Aranda's is a gap-attacking NT, Saban's is a space eating NT.
Valentine would absolutely help our depth and allow for greater flexibility in our formations, but he is more of a traditional 3-4 NT. Our current personnel set up very well for Aranda's scheme across the front.

Agreed. Godchaux is a stud, and it is unfortunate that he might have to play NT where he will get dbl-teamed on almost every play, and it will wear him down by the 3d/4th qtr. Having him at DE in a 3/4 will be disruptive, along with Neal at the other DE.
I think it speaks volumes about our DL depth (or lack of play-makers), that requires Godchaux to play NG...
Valentine would help immensely, I hope Lawrence can provide some quality reps, and it is time for Gilmore to step up and be assertive from the NG/DT position. He was a top recruit when he arrived on campus, time to play like it!
