More thoughts on the defense from Donkey:
"For years we've been playing 220-240 pounders at both ends and often at a DT position too under Fat Ass Dwag. Last year we played two all season. The results of a 240 pound defensive end going up again a 320-340 pound SEC OT were easily foreseeable.
Not so in the future, finally. Princely is now listed at Edge as are all the other flyweights, and even a few of the kids heavy enough that Fat Ass Dwag would have moved them to DT. Nice.
Another nuance some may have missed, Napier's defense at ULL usually used the Edge as a true OLB fairly often. It was still more of a 4 man surface regardless if the edge was called a linebacker, but sometimes reverts to 3, and not just in a rabbit formation on 3rd and forever.
Fat Ass Dwag just used the edge as a designated pass rusher with basically no other responsibilities. Now, Cox and crew didn't actually perform well in the OLB, and even seemed miffed at being asked to do it. I suspect that is why so many of other other dozen cache of flyweight rushbackers all left, thankfully.
Expect to see three heavies on the D line this year, something we havent really seen since Chimp. Not coincidentally that was the last time we had a competent defense."
