First, giving the reins to Kerwin Bell, with a few weapons to work with. I would personally like to see one or two more OL transfers to come in.
The biggest upgrade was on D. Getting Mason, Studstill and Burnett was a couple. Lapointe and Hampton are good players. We were in real trouble if we had to depend on Sanders and Roberts.
Mason gives you size in the middle and should beat out Sawtelle easily. Sawtelle can be a serviceable backup, but will cost you more than he would help as a every down player.
Broyles will be good on the outside and the added weight will help stop the run.
Vincent Davis will be first off the bench. He is a hitter!!!! Now with players coming in that have been in big time programs, we will finally be able to blitz with confidence on the back in. It will elevate the rest of the defense.
