In this system, it's important for our DL to have speed / lateral mobility -- not just as pass rushers, but also to chase down plays sideline-to-sideline and flow to the ball.

A guy like Darton is clearly a DT, but he's fast.  Ingraham showed good mobility on Saturday, too.  Lockett is also a guy who can move his feet.

Okechukwu / Jobbity / Jacquez are DEs, but they are big enough to play the run.

Interchangeable.  You could have a 300 pounder like Ingraham line up inside one play, but play "DE" on the next and pass rush.

Our staff has really done a nice job of identifying guys who aren't highly recruited but have the attributes required for the 3-3-5.  And now we're seeing it play out.  Would be great if it had worked out in our favor to have a true stud DE like Jared Verse, but we have lots of dudes at DL.  Give me Okechukwus and Jobbitys all day, every day.

Like Go stated above, we go 11 deep this year at DL -- with quality, and little dropoff.
