I am much higher on the DEs than the DTs.

DE----
When you combine intel with recent coach comments, it's an exciting group.
Fully healthy JHD, Nichols has been getting hype since February from people I talk to and coaches are now confirming it. Today you had Nate Marshall, Lugard Edokpayi, Tariq Boney, Carter Meadows all get shoutouts. I really really like this group.
DT------
Trey Pierce has really impressed players and coaches, hence being a captain. I think he can be very good this year. Etta has finally accepted the fat body that his body wants and it's paying off. I still think Jonah Lea'ea is very good DT3 and better than people think, but maybe a little undersized for people's liking? Beyond that, it's guys that haven't played. Palepale, Kanka, Moten, the freshmen, have gotten different levels of praise but the truth is we have no idea what they are until Saturdays.

Should we believe the coaches hyping up the DL as a strength of the team? The DL, particularly the DTs, are my biggest concern for the year?*

Again, it's how you view the hype. Bryce is insanely talented, people forget that. He wasn't as bad last year as people say. He's improved this offseason and staff is happy with the progress. It's all just reality.*

it's crazy that people forget he was the best qb recruit since Trevor Lawrence, in an era where the recruiting services have improved their accuracy. who gives a flying FUCK what he did last year with sherrone as head coach, an o-line that couldn't pass block, and half a good receiver? (nm)
