Message: [QUOTE="Niastri, post: 4901977, member: 722"] Rushing the quarterback is one of the most important things a defense can do to get off the field. Having a bunch of tall, big bodied athletes that can get to the QB playing together is a benefit, not a problem. They will have different strengths and weaknesses the staff can use for matchups and situations. If some of them become backups or have to move positions, that doesn't hurt the team. Also, some might grow their way from the edge to being DT in the next few years. We haven't been able to recruit for the defensive line very well for years, to the point where we gave up and started only playing 3 at a time to minimize the weakness. Having so many come in all at once is a huge breathe of fresh air. [/QUOTE]
