'19 AL DT DJ Dale

[jbr82]

Jones had a very weak S&C program setup for Shoop also

Not so sure about that.

I know we gave up a ton of yardage on the ground last year. I think most of that was them getting back on the field to quickly due to poor offensive possessions.
And...lack of proper motivation.

But I really feel like the bodies we have across the D-line are good collectively.

Tuttle 6"2 310
Butler 6'4"280
Crosby 6'2" 320
Phillips 6'5 280
Kongbo 6'5 270
Johnson 6'4 290
Enerson 6'4" 300
Gooden 6'4 310

Then look at our LBs
Bituli 6'3 240
Smith. 6'3 235
Allen 6'5 254
Taylor 6'4 250
Johnson 6'3 245
Thaxton 6'5" 240

We're not small or unathletic like CJP is making us out to be.

I think we have the horses now.

Maybe Ignont and JJ Peterson will be solid contributors as well. Maybe!

Haven’t heard anything about the DL out of Fla, Bennet. Think he’s from Aquinas or IMG, son of Cornelius Bennet. Anyone know anything about him?

Our LB can be a strength. The likely DL starters have shown little

Hasn't been a whole lot said about him thus far. Seems like he may still be a year away from contributing.

Kirkland
Sapp
Peterson
Ignot

There's definitely some pieces to work with in the front 7. We're gonna need them to be fairly stout against the run if want to get to a bowl this year.

Hopefully the offense tries a bit more consciously to slow things down and give the defense a rest. We've been terrible the last two years in time of possession and it has definitely exacerbated some defensive issues.

Precisely!

London Banks Chandler (Fant?)
Will be the bulk of the offense this year. Control the clock.
Get stops on D.
Be there in the 4th quarter with opportunity to win

Agreed.
That's why we need kids like DJ Dale.

Look at Alabama's practices...
There is a noticeable differnce in the types of bodies they have on the DL. And their practice intensity is much higher...

Just need to rotate out some of our players..The DL should be alot bigger and have some dog in them in 2 years

Dale talks about his top five.

ALABAMA: "My last visit to Alabama was great. I saw the spring game and I liked how tough each team was. I have been there five or six times now and I like it there. I have gotten to know the coaches and my family likes it there too. Overall, Alabama is just a great place and they win."

AUBURN: "My defensive line coach and coach [Rodney] Garner have known each other for a long time and they remind me of each other. Coach Garner really knows how to coach guys up and I like that a lot."

CLEMSON: "I was up there in March for a Junior Day and I got to see practice. I liked how they were working as a team and it feels like one big family there. Coach [Todd] Bates and I talk just about every day and we have built a strong relationship. The whole staff and I just get along."

FSU: "It has that family feel to it down at Florida State. Coach [Odell] Haggins has been played there, he has been coaching there close to 25 years and he is a great coach. He has been there through three head coaches, so he is one of the best. I know he could coach me well."

TENNESSEE: "I think Tennessee has put a great staff together. Coach [Jeremy] Pruitt is all about defense, so I like that. Coach [Tracy] Rocker is a great defensive line coach and he's been recruiting me since he was at Georgia, so I know him well. He knows my family too, so that is nice."

When asked if there was a leader, Dale said no and that is what he was working towards at this time. He is putting some deep thought into making this decision because he only once commit one time. "I am going to follow my heart," said Dale. "I have taken my time and when I commit, I want to be done. I am working to find the school that will take care of me best since I will be leaving home."
