DL. Usual suspects. Wish we had new weights. Glad to see Damion Hart in the mix at DE and wonder if Bradley and Warkentin will challenge for playing time. I hope some or all our DT's have increased strength and weight. We seem to have decent depth. Was surprised Thielen wasn't mentioned (OL?).

A quick run down of the new weights for our DT's as compared to last year's roster:
Mike Gayden 277 up from 263 Jacob Thielen 292 up from 249 Quent Titre 286 up from 270 Landon Eades 283 Jack Schultz 280 up from 260 Will Morgan 292 up from 255 Dre Jones 277 up from 263
I'm guessing that last year's weights were incorrect and our players have gradually put on weight and muscle but seeing 290 pounders in the trenches (as opposed to 250 pounders) makes me feel better that we can compete without getting pushed around as much. Hoping that we are better and like coach Dorrel says "we need to get pressure on QB's from our DL." Also noted the change in our LB's, especially the 3 I think may be our starters: John Brannon is down to 233 from 245, Hunter Kier is up to 217, and Chike Nwankwo is at 224 down from 230. I'm thinking that we will be a little faster and stronger with these three. Hopefully Adams at 190 can add a little speed from the outside too.

A quick look at the new posted weights for our DE's. All are between 235 and 250. Jordan Paup 250 up rom 245 Tyrin Bradley 242 Dennis Herrold 235 up from 220 Damion Hart 235 up from 215 Cameron Byrom 249 up from 242 Garveia Freeny 235 stays the same 235 Osaretin Obadeye 239 up from 227 Colby Warkentin 249
Damion Hart makes an impressive 20 pound jump but what we really need is increased speed and strength at this position. But I like the added weight to hold up TE's and get pressure from the outside.
