Listening to 1620, made me thing about the DL room and younger talent. Seems as though Tuioti may have put final nail in Frost coffin.

He had a much more difficult time recruiting defensive linemen to come to Nebraska than he did at Cal or he will at Oregon. Maybe now things will open up with USC and UCLA joining the Big 10.

Not sure I understand, I think the DLine in 2022 is going to be serviceable. If Nebraska is able to win 7 games, Frost will be back. In 2023 there will be more portal guys brought in.

Not knocking Tuioti, but if given the option of keeping Riley and Rogers or getting Drew and Wynn I'm taking the latter. I know it's not necessarily a mutually exclusive situation, but the DLine should be better in 2022 with those changes, regardless of whether or not Ty Robinson takes the big step forward most expect him to.

Agreed. I wish Daniels would have stayed and I would feel really good about the D-Line, but I think Drew and Wynn are big upgrades. I think the D will be serviceable this year. I think what's up in the air is Whipple's offensive scheme and our OL. I think we have plenty of skill, but the OL needs to function and I'm a little bit skeptical of Whipple. If our offense finally lives up to the hype we could be a team no one wants to play.

I think one of the keys to the defense is Reimer and Henrich holding up. Both seemed to wear down last year - need to be able get them some series/downs off during the season through a combo of improved backup play and games that allow for rest - preferably due to blowout wins rather than blowout losses

Serviceable because of dudes before tuioti and via transfer since him. Not sure what value he brought

If going 1-8 in the conference wasn’t the final nail in the coffin then I highly doubt the recruiting acumen of a position coach who is no longer on staff will be

Most times we will only see 2 actual DL in the game at once....Nelson, Mathis, Tannor, Gunnerson, will play DE essentially, sometimes standing up.

Robinson, Nash, Wynn, Drew will be fine.

Butler will get some run at edge with Newsom and Feist adding depth inside. The Dline might be better this year.
