Starting DL next year.. thoughts?

[Paul C]

NG
Stokes (Jr)
Coleman (r-Fr)
Devonta Jones (t-Fr)

DT
Hodge (So)
Sochovka (r-So)
Lewis (r-So)

DE
Seabrook (r-Jr)
Tibbs (Sr)
Lawrence (Jr)
Hanff (Sr)
Jack Barton (t-Fr)

Added class year to the "depth chart"....not a crisis but need to add another blue chip DE in this upcoming class...

There are a couple of question marks.

We know Stokes can play, but will need another guy to step in to increased snaps at NG. Coleman was a solid looking player out of high school and a big body. Hopefully he's that guy.

Like many, I'm excited to see Lewis full speed and healthy. I hope he can contribute for us.

Agree Jackal...It is semantics...You stated it better than I did above.

Another unique example from last year.

It's a passing situation, but Furman starts with zero defenders with their hand down and six men on or about the line.

That screws with an offense. Furman doesn't telegraph who is coming or where they are coming from. Tiano tries to wedge it between five purple shirts.

Just another instance where our defensive linemen sort of break out of their mold. There were only two DL on that play (Reid and Lawrence) and Lawrence, who is normally inside as a DE, was in a two point stance pass rushing wide.

Beautiful INT. Annoor snatched it and took off before the Mocs knew what hit 'em.

You know, I had not noticed this before, but watch Jay Reid on that play. He rushes, basically jabs the offensive lineman, and then drops back into coverage and covers up the check down receiver.

When the throw is made, Furman has 9 men in coverage. The guards and center aren't blocking anyone (and, strangely, don't appear to look back side to help the LT against Adrian Hope).

I'm not a math guy, but UTC has 5 receivers and Furman has 9 men covering them. Good odds for an interception.

Of course, you can do all this cool stuff defensively when you get teams in predictable passing situations.
