I bet we got

Side.Show.Joe · January 22, 2023

I'm happy about these additions, but I'd love to see some P5 level DT's and DE's. Games are won and lost in the trenches.

I’d say Rod Brown, Enoch Jackson, and the newest commit Moore have got you covered. Trieb would also like a word.
But yes, having a rotation available would be ideal. I’m curious how Rausaw, Robertson, Mazin, and our other “lighter” guys fare in our new defense.

Don't get me wrong. I'm glad to have those guys. I just want more of them, and more highly rated if possible. The football season is a war of attrition. Nothing wrong with being a little greedy when it comes to quality linemen.

I would say so.
Jackson transferred from Arkansas, I believe. Moore chose us over Arizona State. Brown was a freshman all conference. I don’t remember Triebs offers. Like sideshow said, more would be better, though.

Any of the above names listed would receive p5 offers if they hit the portal today.

The problem is numbers of scholarships already spent on those positions. Once some leave after spring I am sure there will be some coming in as replacement.

This. I think after the spring some players will move on when they realize they're not a fit for this new system, or realize they are not part of the plan moving forward. The staff will also have a better understanding of what holes they need to fill. There will be a lot of players in the portal after the May open portal window.

Let’s be realistic. We were 117th in rushing defense. Only Richards had a decent amount of sacks. None of the DL guys were even honorable mention CUSA.

Could the new defense help these guys excel? Possible. But there’s no way do I think we have it covered right now.

And no other announcements???

They wont announce during the cowboy game. It's a big moment for them and want as many to see as possible . just my hunch

This. Very much this.

Vito has confirmed Galena Park North Shore safety Evan Jackson. Still waiting on the others.

I hope we aren’t waiting until after the Cowboys’ game to announce the commitment of a kicker.

After watching the cowboys everyone might appreciate the kicker more than ever

One thing that EM mentioned that I appreciated was the “need to be balanced on offense and that he’s learned to have a total team game.”

I understood it as the offense helping the defense (like our running game did for our defense in 2021). Our offense didn’t do our defense any favors last season. I expect a better showing for our defense next season.

I completely agree with that.
