Defense???

We've brought in two D linemen & two LBs & too many DBs. Look at the current verbals for '24. How many D linemen??? It's been proven at every level, you win with Defense. Why does this get overlooked for so many years?

Great points.  The numbers at position matter.

With 4 tight ends coming in for 2024, I wonder if there's plans to move some of them to defense. It's not uncommon for tight ends to move to defensive end as they tend to have the size and athleticism to play the position. Off the top of my head, JJ Watt is probably the most successful modern day TE to DE transition projects.

To be clear, I have zero insight. Just thinking out loud.

I have also wondered about moving Damion Smallwood to DT from OL.  He was successful on both lines for Denison.

If we don't get some FBS-sized DL in ASAP, our current experiment is going to fail miserably.
