Title: DL: Reasonable Expectations
Post by: murfvol on August 01, 2017, 03:11:13 EDT
We finished 95th or so nationally in defense last year. Injuries and other reasons abound, but Barnett was available most of the year. Without him, what can be expected of the DL this year? I expect Tuttle back for UF in some capacity, but hope Alexis Johnson can hold down the fort until then.

Honestly, I think I'm more up in the air about the DL than the OL for the first time in a long time.

Yep, seems like a lot more questions on the DL?  Will KMack ever be the dominant force we expected?  Will things click for Kongbo?  Who rises to the top at DE?  Tuttle?

I like Vickers, McKenzie should be at least o.k., and Phillips will provide help at DE. If Kongbo, Johnson, and Tuttle can do anything we should be solid. There's no reason to be abysmal.
