[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 196216, member: 265"] Yessssss. The three DLs we lost before the 2014 season would have made a huge difference at DT. Akins was slated to be a possible starter and he was one of the few prototype DTs we've been able to bring in recently. Luckily we got four DT types last year - Cerge, Glanton, Morgan, and (the coaches seem to think) Summers. Given how the position works, I wish we had been able to redshirt Cerge, but Jabari quitting put paid to that. Problem = unless you're Warren Sapp, you need a couple of years in the weight room and getting into your 20s to be a real power at DT. (Fun fact: guess who was slated at DT for da U Sapp's freshman year? The Rock! He's thanked Sapp for that publicly, since it made him start thinking about pro wrestling and the rest is history.) We have the material now, but, unfortunately, we're having to play them all too early. If we had kept just Akins, I think our problems would be much less acute. Oth, if Glanton (most likely, imho) or one of the others shows well in the fall and Kallon continues to improve, we could do something we did in 2014: move Gamble out to DE, at least on passing downs. He's not a natural out there, but he gets rid of the size problem. With him out at DE we would see fewer double-teams on Keshaun on passing downs. Let's hope that happens. [/QUOTE]
