Haven't seen this anywhere, but I heard from one of the Dads at last Saturdays practice that Dylan has left the team due to re-occurring injuries. Our DL depth just got a little shallower. Best of luck, Dylan. We never got to know ya.

Well, he doesn't appear on this most current roster.......

To add a word of encouragement, the guys that are out there are practicing their asses off. I continue to be very impressed with how Mr. Wallace moves. He explodes off the line and he's a couple of yards in before anyone slows him down.

The DE's are the most impressive group. They all FLY off the line. And most of the time they are step for step with Bergland (and some of the RB's) when they try to take it around end.

Got to sign DTs. Every year.

If there is a downfall to the McCarney regime, it will be because the defensive line cannot stop the run or rush opposing QBs with any consistency.

Alabama wins with an un-sexy offense. Ditto LSU. Their lines are outstanding.

The quarterback race is nothing. The games are won and lost in the trenches.

There is some upside, though...because most of the C-USA is not the old Sun Belt, the competition level really won't change as much as we thought it would. So, we've got that going for us.

Or you could follow the La. Tech plan and just try and outscore your opponent.

But this head coach is never going to do that.

There is a very real possibility that we end up with an Alabama type offense to go along with a La. Yech type defense.

Since rv has made us such a heavy weight in college football we can demand that the conference do a North Texas rule (ie. think Boise St) where since we have to rely on our offense practically we can just say the rule that states "Make-it-take it" is in effect when we play.

How many sacks did LSU and Alabama have against North Texas as opposed to North Texas against LSU and Alabama?

I'm starting to expect that Wylie Reinhardt will be moved to defensive tackle shortly after arriving on campus this summer.

We were able to flip him from Texas State on the pitch that he'd play tight end here, rather than o-line. But he has a defensive player's mentality if you look at how nasty he is blocking on his film, plus he was athletic enough to play tight end.

A redshirt year would do wonders for him, but we might have to throw him in the fire immediately because of our depth, or lack thereof.

OK, according to RV (in an off-handed comment to me) we're about four D-linemen down this spring because of injuries, but we will have them ready this fall. Besides Boutwell and possibly Sarge, who are we missing this spring, and who will be ready for the fall?

Abbe, Boutwell(was DE), Lincoln(was DE), Orr (was DE), Sir Calvin.

And we're hoping our one DT signee for 2013 qualifies but he double signed incase he doesn't which is never a good thing. If we lose Abbe or Boutwell in the fall we might be toast.

I don't know. How many?

You can play a fun numbers game. But, I'm not pretending that either Alabama or LSU (or Kansas State, for that matter) put everything in against us. The national powers go vanilla against schools they know can name their score against.

Besides, I know you're not saying you wouldn't trade Alabama or LSU's defensive line for ours. They wouldn't trade theirs for ours no matter what stats showed in our games against them.

Our defensive line is thin in depth and small. This coaching staff has signed three classes and none have improved our defensive line.. If schools still run at will and keep their quarterbacks upright, we'll have yet another losing season - no matter how vanilla Georgia goes against us.

Any idea what injuries he has suffered? He had a great game in the HS All-Star game he participated in, and then had his redshirt year last year. When, how and what did he injure?

We have had defensive line problems for a while. Since that problem was supposedly addressed, we have had 2 head coaches and 3 defensive coordinators. To hopefully rectify that problem, Dodge and or Deloach hired a new and supposedly seasoned defensive line coach who has served with the 2 head coaches (Dodge and Mac) and 3 defensive coordinators (Deloach, Bowen, and Skaldany) What might the common denominator be in the problem now? Hmmm.

Same dude that made us all scratch our heads when he moved our most productive DE, Eddrick Gilmore, to DT in his first year here?

Lost just about all confidence in that guy when he did that.

But, Nelson is Mac's guy. He ain't going anywhere.

Sounds like we could use someone from the OL to cross the line and do the switch over ASAP. The odds are that we will have more DL injuries, and we could run out of experienced bodies pretty quickly.

This. Hello Micah Thompson.

I'm not disagreeing that defenses win games and championships but Alabama had a very sexy offense to go with an outstanding defense. A.J. McCarron had the highest rating (175.28) of all of the regular quarterbacks. Bama also had a couple of the best running backs in the country to go along with them. A bad defensive line may lose some games but they can't win any unless they're running fumbles in for touchdowns. You still need a relatively good offense to win games.

Alabama's offense is amazeballz, but I don't think "sexy" can be associated with it.

Dominating OL and NFL RBs. That's old school , not sexy.

Will this be an increasingly common occurrence going forward?

With the growing knowledge of long-term injury impact for football players, will guys be advised by their families to cut their college careers short (1) when the pros aren't in the future and (2) the family can afford to pay tuition themselves (especially if 2-3 yrs was already paid for)?

It seems a trend of this sort would certainly hit a program like ours more prominently where on field success has been hard to come by.

      What's the appeal of Carthel? Honest question. I don't follow FCS closely, but it seems like every time a position opens up at UNT people on the board want Carthel to fill it. I see he won the NCAA Division II championship in 2017 and has an overall record of 89–48 which are both impressive. However, his run at SFA from a W/L perspective looks similar to Seth's at UNT in that he built up the program in a few years, but he seems to be plateauing over the past few years. I'd love to hear more about what the advocates see in him and why he'd be a good fit for UNT specifically.

      Odus Mitchell - What Exactly are Too High Standards at UNT?

      I really want people to read this: https://meangreensports.com/honors/north-texas-athletics-hall-of-fame/odus-mitchell/3 This man was and still is very much under appreciated here. I love the legend of Mean Joe anyone under 50 can remember seeing prime NFL Mean Joe playing. There is no Joe Greene in a North Texas uniform without Odus Mitchell. We have low expectations because with dismiss what Mitchell showed us was possible here. Heaps of excuses and disgruntled fans attacking each other on our board. Odus Mitchell is the kind of "Old Denton" I want. And MAYBE if we truly honored him properly and consistently as the MOST IMPORTANT FIGURE in Mean Green Football history we could knock off some of the negative karma. The Mean Joe Coke commercial is cute but is never something remotely associated with UNT Football without Mitchell rebuilding the program from WWII hiatus, winning, integrating CFB in Texas, and bringing Mean Joe to Denton. Hayden Fry doesn't have enough in Denton to come and rescue without Mitchell. How this program has underachieved for 20 years is an insult to his legacy imo. I wasn't alive for his tenure and likely you weren't either. But legacy is about what you can read about when there aren't cute videos!

      That would be a little unorthodox when the current HC is still in his 30s.
