No one on the starting D-line was 300 lbs last year. Bear was around 285 I think

Bear Harper and Black are all bigger than our biggest DL this year. Not sure on actual weight but these were 5th year kids that were bigger and stronger. I stand by my opinion. We are simply too small upfront

Why? If Elmore can help on D play him. How’s is he going to affective as a 293 pound FB.
They have tried to get transfer help. Cannot make the player come to su. Need to adjust to personnel.

I like Mang at the FB spot

Keep in mind that I have not seen one single person say they didnt prefer a transfer D lineman or two. Thats been the consensus. Our opinion might change in August after they have added a couple transfers and the young D Lineman have gained functional weight.

I agree with you but did I see Jatius Geer at 247 lbs!?!?! Wasn’t he supposed to be a contributor this year? Even if he gets to 260 lbs, that is a little on the light side no?

For DE?, no.

Jackson and Pena each dropped about 10 lbs to 175. For the WR group the majority went down. As money notes I think their has been a real emphasis on functional weight and strength.

The starting OL all went up, they are massive. The younger guys have leaned out for the most part.

Williams dropped 5 lbs. Queely dropped 7 lbs. Those are probably good drops. Should help both to be more explosive in getting open. But some other added weight for the better. Gadsen added 5 lbs which should make him more physical in fighting for balls and I absolutely LOVE that Hatcher went from 170 to 178 lbs. That 8 lbs could be really big for him and it indicates that he can hopefully keep adding strength over his career here and isn't a kid who just can't bulk up. I could see him developing into one of our top WR's soon.
