I believe we’ll be better this year . De not as good but a bigger push in the middle for sure which will make the de look betterLi fully believe that scott & moten will replace the dominance bain & mes displayed last year. It'll look different because they're interior players but those 2 are the best DT duo in the country.
I think people will be pleasantly surprised with how good our end group will be. Wilson is a 10 sack guy in the sec & i like the depth we have thereI believe we’ll be better this year .

Blount and Wilson are both plenty big enough to set the edge. Then we have an extra year of Lightfoot and Scroggins and Pickett.interior will be stout no doubt. the question mark is how will the DE's set the edge. Bain and Mesidor were great/elite at that. I have no doubt our De's will be good pass rushers.
Not to mention the coverage on the back end. Opposing QBs will have to hold the ball longer if we let the boys play more press coverage.I believe we’ll be better this year . De not as good but a bigger push in the middle for sure which will make the de look better
A dropoff after the best DT duo in the nation? That's shocking! Davis, Blount, and Carter are plenty good enough depth for me. Anyone in CFB would kill to have thatBlount and Wilson are both plenty big enough to set the edge. Then we have an extra year of Lightfoot and Scroggins and Pickett.
My biggest concern on the DL is the dropoff after Scott/Moten.
Probably a push with the Desir twins.Would not trade them for any DT tandem in the country
Don't be surprised if Keona Davis is getting reps at end too. Ive been seeing him working with JT in a bunch of videos and he has the motor and size to play there.Blount and Wilson are both plenty big enough to set the edge.

I think the Cavinder twins would get more TFLsProbably a push with the Desir twins.
I agree they are the best but the duo in Oklahoma is closeThis is the dest DT duo in college football and it’s not even close.
*For you set the edge guys, Keionte Scott all of 6-0 195 was the edge setter in this defense last season*
More sacks for sure.I think the Cavinder twins would get more TFLs
Last season we put Bain on an island and used Mesidor and Scott opposite him to set the edge. I think we can play it the same way this year with Thornton and the weaker run defending DE and our best edge setting DE on an island with whichever DT is best against the run. From practice reports I think Thornton will be better than Scott in defense of the run but maybe a bit less consistent defending the pass. Sounds like Thronton will be the nickel on run downs at least, if not full time. I am really intrigued to see how Heatherman uses all of these DBs. We literally don't have enough spots for all the guys we want to play.interior will be stout no doubt. the question mark is how will the DE's set the edge. Bain and Mesidor were great/elite at that. I have no doubt our De's will be good pass rushers.
You were right they are both big enough, but Wilson did not actually set the edge very much last year at Missouri, which is one of the things he really needs to learn and become good at to get the highest draft spot he can that’s why he’s here with JTBlount and Wilson are both plenty big enough to set the edge. Then we have an extra year of Lightfoot and Scroggins and Pickett.
