[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 756410, member: 282"] Having big defensive tackles is great, but teams get by with size disadvantages there. We’ve rolled out with guys like Vance Walker and Joe Anoa’i, and at their biggest they were around 300 lbs. Almost any team would like to have an Aaron Donald, but I think even with better recruiting a nose tackle of that caliber is going to be a rarity. Offensive linemen often outweigh defensive linemen—it’s not just here. UCF has a couple of 285 defensive tackles that wreak havoc through speed. I’m not sure what our coaches want for our defensive line, but it’s fairly common these days to have a leaner and faster DT with a heavier DT who can take up blockers and plug up the middle. Djimon Brooks and Jamal Camp are two of our biggest defensive linemen at 305 lbs. Chimedza weighs in at 312. Our OL outweighs or DL on a per-man basis, and that’s true at a lot of schools—I’m sure it’s true at most. We could definitely use a couple of space eaters at NT, and I agree there. It’s really one position on the DL where we don’t have size in comparison to other programs. Some factories and Big10 schools might be bigger and stouter at both inner DL positions. [/QUOTE]
