re: starting DE's in 2009?

alem will put up big sack nembers, AND give up a bunch of running plays cause he runs himself out of running alleys.

If there are improvements at linebacker, all will be good.

said it before and I'll say it again: Clement is going to be an OT.......he will grow the right way ad be a very athletic productive athlete versus trying to slim down a slower fatty.

Because at 230-240 pounds he's never going to be an every down defensive end. The question was who is going to be the starting defensive ends next season. It won't be him if he stays the same size. His own brother has said as much on a radio interview in BR last fall.

Levingston and Aghayere = starters on short distance. Corley and Alem on 3rd downs and long distance. FRESH LEGS.

I'd say Alem on one side and Hicks (if they decide to play him at DE) or Levingston (heard several good things about him). But Corley, Agheyre, and Clement should all see significant time.
