They are what they’ve almost always been. Coming into this season they had a combined 4 sacks in SEC play in 3 seasons. Idk why we would expect too much more.
Those aren’t great numbers, but you don’t really expect 3-4 D Linemen to be stat stuffers. Both were recruited to play that role. They are there to do the dirty work.
Asking them to move to playing 4-3 where a lot more gets asked of you without a real off-season to work on getting their bodies in different condition is not realistic. Even if they trimmed down, they probably still aren’t suited to the position.

Totally agree

Disagree a little here. They had outgrown being 3-4 DEs imo and losing just a little weight would have made them perfect for 4-3 DTs. Which, although more may be asked of them, would also come with the glory of more sacks and TFLs. In their money years, you’d think they’d have the motivation to come in in great shape, even with the COVID distractions.

I don’t think their fat bodies right now are suited for ANY position, whether it be in a 4-3 or a 3-4.
