Reading Nothing But Positives About Our D Line

[SeeingRed]

Either our o line isnt so great or our d line is gonna be nasty. Everyone i spoke to at the camp or anything ive read online says the d line looks completely dominant. Poe is a ****ing 340 lbs bear, Bailey looks HUGE at over 300 lbs and Catapano might be one of the leanest 295 lbs guys in the NFL. I heard all these guys are killing it and I heard maybe the MOST impressive of them all is Mike Devito! Hearing he is leaner and faster and has simply destroyed every drill against the o line. I was looking for pics and found these...any good pics of Devito? I'm excited about this defense and i wont lie......just a bit nervous about this o line for some reason but hopefully they prove otherwise.

Maybe we'll get lucky and Sutton will die.

So we can make our o line coach the d coordinator?

You are about to enter the vicious Branden Albert "what if" conversation.

Hudson was actually a very powerful, very technically sound guard and left tackle at Florida State. (Played center a couple of times as well - a very versatile player.) One of the best I've ever seen. However, like Shields, he was relatively short of arms and will always be around 300 lb. max. As such, in the modern NFL, his best position was projected at center where he could operate more effectively in a short space/area.

However, as the center is usually the one handling the line calls as well as the snaps to the QB, it's a more difficult transition than, say, switching to one side of the line or the other (IMO). However, Hudson graded out as our top lineman numerous times last season and should be fully immersed in the system at this point.

I think that the broken leg is well behind him and he's going to play with the power, skills and confidence that you saw during his college career.

He's the guy I would worry least about on the offensive line at this point.

Sooo true, the defense would have to be completely revamped... wish you hadnt even said that shit #nojynxies.

That's what I've heard... but we'll see.

They were also going to flag RB's for lowing their heads, and I didn't see much of that happening.

Even the refs know a dumb ass rule when they see one.

If it weren't for the damn Arizona Cardinals, we'd have Ray Horton as our DC right now

Catapano will be average and Bailey will be about the same. Neither are starting material.

I'm mostly excited about that guy we signed in FA. I forgot his name so I'm sure he's awesome.

Poe is a BEAST. With youth on his side. GOTTA keep Poe for sho. http://m.espn.go.com/general/blogs/b...56&src=desktop

Well they better be because BOTH Bailey and Catapano are working with out 1st team defensive groups. Bailey looks HUGE and was very good last year against the run weighing 15 lbs less. I disagree that he isn't starting material....I think he will do a good job in fact. http://www.kansascity.com/sports/nfl...cle803939.html
