You mean like Wilson, Goodson, Tate, Dorceus?

With the exception of Tate all of those guys are small for their position sure they have motors but they get swallowed up by mean mobile offensive lineman. None of them get a push nor do they rush the QB very consistantly.

You think Goodson is small? As a true freshman? I get it that we aren't getting good QB pressure. Agree.

But to indicate the staff is not putting enough focus on DL is misleading. We have had injuries and are playing a lot of young talent. We have some guys who have arrived in the past 2 classes who are quality and can change things - given time and better depth (depleted by injuries).

I see promise. We always want more, but I've been pleased with the classes Norvell and staff have landed.

Goodson is short as is Dorceus for the position.
I'm happy with Norvell's classes but, I may be mistaken but we have what 17-18 commitments for next year and thus far none as DL. Maybe they are going to switch some OL they are signing.
