Where is the Defensive Beef?

Have really pick up size at End and Linebacker. Potential line up and size in a 4-3-4. DE.. Wheeler 6'3" 240, Combs 6'3" 258, DT.. Wallace 6'2" 308, Young 6'1" 290, Linebacker ...Ejo 6'3" 235, Johnson 6'3" 225, Mc 6'3" 225, Safeties..Kirshaw 5'11" 200, Gray 6' 190, Corners.. Brooks 6' 170, Ashton 5'10" 185.

DE and LB as a group has been small for us in the past. We are now hitting D1 averages. GMG

as long as they can move i don't mind size..I worry about size w/ all of these high powered offenses if it affects speed...nothing worse than seeing a slow lb chasing a quick back on a screen.

With the addition of Ejiya and Johnson, I think the LB corps is probably one of the strongest on the team. McNair, Finney, Garner all saw alot of time last year, and I think Minor will contribute now that he's out of Cosh's doghouse.
