Lightfoot, Wilson, Blount vs Bain, Mesidor

[Applecane]

How close are we to matching the ability of last year's DEs?
Lightfoot and Wilson at least are wreaking havoc. I'm not seeing any obvious problems setting the edge.
Of course, the opposition hasn't been the same -- no ND and no playoff teams.
But I'm starting to think we're not that far away. Scroggins is growing on me, too.
Remember Bain and Mesidor refused to come off the field. We've got a really good rotation now. Folks can stay fresh.

ND Oline will be the playoff eye test! I’m beyond pleased with the progress so far though. Wilson is really starting to earn his $ worth, Lightfoot has silenced doubters about being an every down DE, Blount is not a downgrade when he plays DE. Scroffings has looked like a player. Pickett has even shown flashes.

Honestly, we’re not far away if at all. Lightfoot and Wilson get to the quarterback quicker than Bain and Mesidor did last year. And well they’re not as good at setting the edge, there has not been much drop-off at all in that department. We have the number one rush defense in the country. We have a monster defensive line.

How we stop the run + how we get to the QB I believe we are as good as anyone THIS year.
