Let's look at the depth chart:
DEFENSIVE TACKLE: No. 17 Zachary Carter (R-Jr.), No. 9 Gervon Dexter (Fr.)
NOSE TACKLE: No. 56 Tedarrell Slaton (Sr.), No. 55 Kyree Campbell (Sr.), -OR- No. 91 Marlon Dunlap Jr. (R-Sr.)
These guys are our only DL. They have to be the front FOUR. Slaton and Cambell at the Tackles and Dunlap and Carter at the two DE spots. Give Dexter reps as he can handle them. Maybe ONE skinny at the weak DE slot every now and again but it can't be every down.
Add some reps from Jaelin Humpries, Lamar Goods, Dante Lang, and/or Jalen Lee at DT and SDE. Honestly I haven't even seen the last three on the sideline. Are they on the team? Maybe we have to get a few reps from TJ Moore or Josh Braun or something if we just need a player to play 5 or 10 snaps. ala Mike Pouncey. Something to make the DL at least LOOK like a P5 defensive line. If nothing else, the size up front will keep the DL from getting blown the fuchs up every single play and keep the LBs clean.
The rest:
DEFENSIVE END
No. 1 Brenton Cox Jr. (R-So.)
No. 10 Andrew Chatfield (R-So.)
BUCK
No. 7 Jeremiah Moon (R-Sr.)
No. 8 Khris Bogle (So.)
No. 4 David Reese (R-So.)
Skinnies not on the Depth Chart: Summerall, Princely, and Antwuan Powell.
Sorry, boys. It is done. This joke experiment of using D3 sized DL is over. You skinnies are 3rd and long ONLY. No more reps otherwise. All of you are GARBAGE vs the run and frankly it isn't fair to try to put a 240lb guy up against a 320lb SEC OT anyway.
We should start working some of those younger guys at ILB, especially Reese maybe Bogle. We are in an SOS situation at ILB even worse than DL, and we have to find someone with the mindset to play LB. If you don't want to be moved to LB you better do what Carter did and spend every second of your life in the weightroom and chow hall gaining size and strength.
LInebackers and DBs.
I just don't know. There is zero talent at LB right now.
The front seven is just a total shytshow and I don't really know how to make it any better. I guess I'd play Diabete with Ventrell at first until we find some other capable LBs.
Burney, move him to star. His first step is still backwards. He just can't play LB.
