Seems like a lot of guys claiming to have gained a lot of muscle and dropped fat. D. Neal claiming to squat over 600lbs (did he go parallel?).
Any expectations on depth chart for DE and DT?
- Thread starter WestCoastCornhusker2
- Start date
The dude is 6'7 so if he really squatted 685lbs, the guy is an absolute beast! That is really hard for a guy so tall.
Seems like we're in good shape with Stoltenberg the Davis twins and Damion Daniels and Deontre Thomas in the interior line...
Would love to see Neil come out of his cocoon and be that edge rusher were looking for.

That's what I'm thinking. Some of the numbers being thrown out there are hard to believe. If the kids are going down full parallel then we do have some serious Husker Power!
I assume Mick's a starter when healthy, not sure about remaining major contributors, or more importantly any pass rushers.
Plus Stille and Freedom. Going to be some competition on the DL.
Wow so at DE we have: Carlos Davis, Khalil Davis, Stille, Deontre Thomas, Freedom, D. Neal, Chris Walker. Yeah , i'd say there is serious competition finally.
I think the down linemen will rotate between 6-8 fairly regularly.
I'm a sucker for a "good story". It would be great if Peyton Newell had a successful year.
Why all this talk of hope to have the edge rusher weve been lacking when talking of the D-line? I know you can get plenty of pressure from the front 3 in a 3-4, but wouldnt true edge rusher pressure be coming from an OLB? Or maybe we have a JJ Watt on the roster?
Wherever the pressure comes from I just hope its there this year.

With a 1-gap 3-4 vs a 2-gap 3-4, we'll definitely see a more aggressive front 3.
Dashion Neal looked really good, can he crack the starting lineup or be in line for major playing time?
I think Stille will be a starter, at worst a 3rd down pass rushing specialist. I think he is a future All-American IMO
