DOB was good when he played. He made plays and gets push. As stated I think his performance off the field affected his time on it.Quality depth if you ask me. Definitely not a scrub. Will have an important role next year.

O'Brien's poor decision making affected his number of snaps more than his ability. He'll definitely contribute in the future. Will start next year, if I were a betting man.

Second year Tuttle and KMack will be hard to not start. Those two, Barnett, and Vereen will wreck havoc. Tuttle in particular is a game changer at DT. Will probably be better than KMack after watching them play. He's special as an athlete. Not many 300+ pound men can run like him.

Tuttle showed much better explosion of the the two this year. He's a 3 down DT. KMac still has a lot of work to do if he wants to be more than a run stuffer.

Do you think any of it was due to KMack having a year off from football? I hope he regains some of that explosiveness we saw in his film with a full year offseason work.

Danny O'Brien will probably be in the top 4 rotation as long as he's still around as well. He doesn't have the size and athleticism of most of those other guys (except maybe Vickers), but maybe he can have one of those 5th year senior productivity spikes that are so fun to watch sometimes.

DOB is surprisingly quick and typically gets good push and many on here underappreciate his contributions - now his off the field decision making?

Danny O'Brien is not a sec championship caliber player. He'll play against the Vanderbilt's of the world. But no way he gets snaps ahead Tuttle, McKenzie, Johnson, or Vickers against legit opponents. And if we land Brown, he'll be at best #6 in the rotation.

He's the Mack Crowder of 2016. Ceremonial snaps only.

DOB will be ahead of DB, especially considering DB isn't an EE, which is essential for a DT to get PT early.

(tried for more acronyms but failed)

O'Brien couldn't stay ahead of McKenzie who came in overweight and got injured in camp.

Doubt he stays ahead of an equally talented player that will presumably come in shape and won't be injured in camp.

I personally think DOB lost time by being in Butch's doghouse.

That's also not taking anything away from KM and DB, just the strength of a 5th year senior vs. an 18 year old. I still thing KM is more of a physical freak than DB, just too out of shape from the year away.

I'm not sure where you're getting all this about KMac beating out O'Brien all year. O'Brien played far more snaps than KMac did all year because KMac was a two down guy all season.

I love fans that throw our own players under the bus. Let the Danny O hate flow through you

Where is this delusion that KM played ahead of, or started over, DOB coming from? Oh yeah, D4H...obviously. DOB played more than KM early in the season, during the middle of the season, and at the end of the season. DOB will be in the rotation at DT next season unless he has more off the field issues.

:good!: Danny will have another solid year next year. He did well this year and should get even better.

Edit: He also plays with a mean streak like Barnett.:)

Plus, I think a lot of our fans forget that he was a fairly high 4 star coming out of high school. He's no slouch. He was a workhorse during the 2014 season, playing a crazy amount of snaps that year

Lol Obrien played in every game he was eligible for. He is a solid backup. He was starting until he got in trouble and Owen Williams ran away with the spot. Plenty of snaps to go around for DOB, Vickers, KMAC, Tuttle, Johnson and possibly brown. DTs need to be rotated often they can't play 80 snaps a game and still be productive unless they are a freak of nature
