All kidding aside, we don't have the optimum horses up front on the D-line, but we actually have a very speedy set of LBers now. On passing downs, I believe we would be wise to utilize our speed and have 4 LBers on the field rather than our weakness of 4 D-lineman.
After thinking of your previous post, I tend to agree Hicks is NOT great run-stopper ( I exaggerate from time to time
), but he really does a pretty good job of containing the run, IMO. He also is good at putting pressure on the QB, he just rarely FINISHES the play with a sack.
Savaii has the size and strength to man the NT positiion, but is not the idle candidate, unless he really turns it up a few notches.
Sims is a possibility, but I prefer him as the undertackle.
Hall looks pretty good and Allen will improve from last year, IMO.
Our D-line could be a weakness, but it's worth installing some plays on obvious passing downs to utilize our LBers. Just my take.
