Smoking Hot Take

Rueben Bain is the most impactful DL at UM since Warren Sapp. UM has had plenty of good D-Linemen since Sapp, but look at these numbers:

Yet we can’t recruit DL

Vince Wilfork is actually our last all world DL.

Great point.

blows my mind that we cant land another ELITE DT after the season that Bain is having.

We talk about the “time“ it takes to build this thing, then we take no time to dismiss the very thing. Which one is it?

Even this statistic doesn't tell the whole story since he had so few snaps early in the season.

I bet if it were measured as pressures per snap, it would be off the charts.

Fun to watch and reminds me of some good old days when we had those guys that made their presence felt every down.

Has he been facing a lot of double teams this season? If not, I'm sure he'll be getting more, which will only open things up more for LT and the others. Would be interesting for those who are more in the know to talk about who's been facing the most double teams from opposing teams.

Doesn’t matter what kids see it’s about relationships. They see Bain and still won’t come.

It shows that narrative of if you develop they come. Well we know now that’s not true so we do not have to see posts again about it. I mean I knew this already but this is the undoubted proof.

What's the matter with our relationships re: DTs? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm not super into the weeds with all the recruiting stuff.

I have no idea what is happening right now it doesn’t feel like last year

Same thought here. Sa'lavea must suck balls at recruiting and not in a good way. How could we not get even ONE of the top dogs? Hopefully we can flip Stone.

41st in the country in sacks right now.

I heard Sapp was at the GT game…

Vince didn’t take over games like this kid is going to.

Bain has taken that next step the last few games but this feels like a case of recency bias. In time (next year prob) he should become that.

My man Gregory Rousseau went from 3 star HS safety to 1st round D-End after virtually 1 real year of college ball.
Shame he opted out that year, would’ve been a real treat to see him and J. Phillips wreak havoc together.

Too bad those guys played only one year. Both were studs.
