So far we have 0. I wonder if they are going to continue playing DE's at DT...230 lb guys on the interior does not seem like a good way to defend the run but correct me if I'm wrong. Starters: Kegler - 284 Pinkney - 288 Back Ups: Barber - 260 Waller - 342 Leacock - 270 Armon Williams - 285 Yes it sucks to lose Ray to FSU however I think we are more than fine at DT. LB on the other hand is a cause for concern. Unproven or underwhelming players everywhere: Polk, Reaves, Grier, Boyles, Copeland, Johnson, Sawtelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We currently have 7 DTs, 3 Juniors and 4 redshirt freshman. A good 15-30Ibls is what's needed on most of them except for Waller. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear CSS saying they need to be bigger on defense so would not that fall on the strength coach ? If so then the current Strength coach needs to be let go cause he is not doing what CCS wants ... Not speaking as in the know but just trying to get some input to satisfy my wondering . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sapp wouldn't disclose how much weight he lost but coach Lane Kiffin said his star defensive tackle was down to 285 pounds from 334 late last season.
