As of right now...


LEO - Fowler

DT - Jackson

NT - Miller

DE - Odrik


Marks comes on for Miller on 3rd down. If we get another LEO via FA/draft, he will replace Odrik on 3rd down.

The line will look different according to down and distance. I don't see the point in listing only four guys with the amount of rotation we'll see.

Also - don't pigeonhole Jackson. He can get pressure from any position up front.

 

I agree with this. I'm excited and intrigued to see how they use Marks, Jackson, Miller, Fowler, Odrick. Will they all be on the field at one time? Whatever the case, it looks like we have depth to roll in waves of defensive lineman.

"Sucess Is Not a Goal, It is a By-product"

Here's our starting defensive line: 

 

1st down:

 

Fowler

Jackson

Miller

Marks

Odrick

 

4 out of those 5 guys lined up at various positions, sometime depending on where we can find a mismatch. 

 

2nd down: 

 

same thing

 

3rd down:

 

same thing.  

 

Okay, okay, that sounds like of snide, and some of you get irritated at my snide-ness, but that's really what it is.   Right now, we have so many guys who can play so many different positions, I think it will be pretty unpredictable. 

 

He's kinda right here. I think the objective is to not have "starters" but being able to rotate players based on the pressures they are going to want to put in. You might get Odrick, Miller, Marks, Jackson with their hands down and then Fowler standing.
