This guy with Watson is some serious beef in the A gaps.

We will not be small next year, that’s for sure.

 

[CapitalO]

Herd it through the grapevine he's a lock

 

[OttoinGrotto]

42 tackles for an interior lineman is a lot.

 

[LeMoyneCuse]

I went looking for Marshall highlights. The :52 mark is the very first defensive snap I came across. Dude is a force.

 

[GoSU96]

Rotational piece. At that size getting 25 good reps a game would be excellent.

Rotational piece. At that size getting 25 good reps a game would be excellent.

And that's what you need 4 good guys who can rotate in the middle to cause havoc in front of the QB.
And give the edge rushers opportunities to have one on one blocking.

Listed on the Marshall website at 6'6", 327 lbs.

I'm impressed, but the off beat rapping on this background track is slowly killing me inside.

Yes, the music speaks to me also...like nails on a chalkboard.
I'd like to see some of these hyper-kinetic videos set to "Muskrat Love" or "The Wheels on the Bus Go Round and Round."
Would kinda giv'em a fresh perspective.

Depends on which version of Muskrat Love. I’m with you if it’s Captain and Tennille. If it’s America, you can just GTFOH.

 

[CA Monk]

Only one version and it's:

And to stay on the topic of McCord's possible return, just let me say they actually had a TV show for a while which is remarkable considering Daryl (the Captain) had less personality than Bill Belichick

 

[rhcuse]

Is this Billy Edelin’s grandson?

IYKYK.

No, but Billy is his daddy, or one could almost say Hoisier Daddy.

Did they ever have children

 

[Cusefan69]

So a few seemed to imply we are looking good here. Any sense on timing here. I am pretty sure from the 10th to the holiday is when we saw a large tranche of portal commits last December.

I feel like signing day was later last year …

IIRC, it was December 20.

6-6 327 ... we can always use that kind of size. Quick look at the DL for next year:

Interior:
Returning: Watson, Willson, Hastings, Miles, Perry, EFC, Nwococha, and Moeolo
Incoming: Crawford (projects as a DT); Thomas (?)
Development: Ogbebor (6-6 280) and Nyandoro (6-6 260)

Edge:
Returning: Jaquez; KJE; Simmons; Jobbity [Edit]: Caden Brown, Slimy David O. (per LeMoyneCuse)
Incoming: Gillians; Muhammad; Crawford

Caden Brown and Slimy David lined up on the line as EDGEs too, even though they're considered LBs on the roster. Not sure if that's positional fuzziness or necessity.

 

[721Comstock]

Anything ever happen w us and this young man?

Given his younger brother is an inbound croot,
and we can always use large dudes with bad intentions on the D Line.

Especially given our struggles against the run, and some bad luck w injuries there.

This picture is almost as disturbing as one of Paul Finbauam

He would be a good rotational piece based on what we have returning. Watson is good. Tank had his best game by far in the bowl. Perry is serviceable. EFC and Hastings didn’t really do much . I like the potential in the big Canadians. If those sizes are accurate those are some big boys, but will take a year or 2 from a development standpoint. I’d be looking for another DT in the portal

in my head with Perry, Watson, Tank and if we get new guy Thomas and then sprinkle in the other guys and get them some time i think we will be really good in there.

Add as many DTs as possible. Erob wants to play 4 down. We need 8 minimum. I'd take 12 if possible

I don’t think you can have 11% of your roster be at DT. Too many other units to run that deep when you only play 2 guys at a time

The hard part is we had 4 go down this year alone. We need this Thomas kid. We also either arent teaching or are allowing our interior and exterior guys to keep oline infront of them which ifind kinda weird. Pass downs should be get off your man in your gap and sack the qb. We use no hand fighting or clubing or anything tha removes the olineman fron in between d and QB
