2014 Lineman - DE or DT?

[OH-Vol]

Hey everyone,

I was looking to get thoughts on where our Sophomore and incoming Freshman DL end up:

Miller - DT
Brown - DE
Vickers - DE
Carr - DT

Mixon - DT
Hendrix - DE
Henderson - DE
Mosely - DT
Barnett - DT
Thomas - DE

Thoughts? Also, do we expect anything from Miller, Brown or Vickers, or were they recruited over?

Thanks!

Hard to think anyone's recruited over at this point. And don't forget Jashon (Jase) Robertson.

I wouldn't forget Corey Vereen. I could see him starting at end or at least getting major playing time in 3rd down and passing situations.

 

[volchemist11]

Don't forget about Vereen. I'm assuming he is going to be our best DE next year

I think several members of the incoming DL class will play hybrid DE/DT roles, based on the package and/or down and distance situation.

miller is a DE

 

[VOLfrombama]

this may be the first time in 5+ years we are going to have some decent depth at the d-line position

o'brien is a rs soph this year too

 

[Catbone]

Depth, but no experience

We are still impressed with Vickers and Miller, but they both got shirted last year. I believe Vickers was redshirted and Miller got a hardship waiver.

Strippling has said he likes an athletic DT and a bigger DT. So I could see any of them being used in Versatile DL roles.

Moseley and Robertson may very well project as OG's.

Man, you look at that list and see absolutely no experience to speak of. Greg Clark is an upperclassman, but he is relatively inexperienced. The OL is also inexperienced except for the JUCOs who have no SEC experience. Scary!!!!!!!!!

 

[deezvols]

This group has potential to be a HUGE strong-point for us in a year or two

I think there is a very good chance that Robertson ends up at OG. Mosley stays at DT.

I think Miller will make some noise.

O'Brien will be solid. Carr will decide whether this DL is decent or not, IMO.

Vereen and Maggit providing a pass rush should be effective.

I say line them up next to a VW beetle. The ones that don't leave a mark. Move to offense. The ones that flip that *****. Plays DT. The ones that make it wish it never came to the US plays DE. Get my point. We need animals on defense this year. They need to be as pissed off as the fan base. Get nasty up in that line. Bring the fear back to the pass rush. Make them QBs all long for an NFL tackle on the blind side. GO BIG ORANGE!!!!

I didn't mention Vereen because it seems he is a lock starting DE next year.

I forgot we Redshirted O'Brien, It will be nice to have him in the Rotation for 3 years.

I would expect either Robertson or Moseley to play OG

Will Saulsberry be back from his injury?

If he is he will be a DT , probably start along with Obrien

 

[tgardnervol4life]

Some of you guys kill me!!! lol

Every player we get is either a TE, OT or some other position just because he is more athletic or to slow in your opinion. lol cracks me up

 

[governmentmule]

lots of new players and no experience,it is going to be another rough year

 

[Roustabout]

If he is he will be a DT , probably start along with Obrien

I believe he misses spring but recovery time puts him @ 100% by fall.

 

[volstuff37641]

what about the German player,Johnson,he should be a DT.

He's only 240# so he would have to add a lot of weight.
