If they can stand up to blocks and hold up against the run, that’s just fine with me. …

Jay Hill is going to get pressure on opposing QBs. If it comes from the DTs, that’s fantastic. If not, we’ve got quality edges and linebackers who should be able to use their speed blitzing. Same with the secondary.

Back to the board

Talk me down from my worries about the interior DL. Really concerned about DTs, especially the depth.* - By VictorsValiant August 24, 2026 at 08:15:18 PM

- i don’t think they are going to be amazing but i also think we are stuck evaluating DTs relative to generationally great ones. - By DetUMICH August 24, 2026 at 09:22:25 PM
- Pierce was really solid last year and was limited by injury. Enna is a freak athlete who had to grow into the big frame. Palepale is Polynesian and has NFL genes. Out of a million other dudes, someone will be able to provide backup depth.* - By Bluebuck August 24, 2026 at 08:26:05 PM
- Pierce seems likely to be an above average to really good Big Ten starting DT - By DoctorD August 24, 2026 at 08:23:15 PM
  - Havent heard much on Moten, but he's obviously large enough to be serviceable. We'll see if he can break in and contribute any meaningful snaps* - By ameriKa August 25, 2026 at 06:15:19 AM
