Honestly, we don't know what Wilson is capable of.
Cam seems the most likely to be a dominator.
Rose, is young and getting bigger. Was hurt most of the year. Does he drop down? He's gotten huge!
Gibson could be terrific off the edge but he's kind of a wild card.
Denlinger was our best DT till he got hurt.
Abdallah showed some promise if he keeps working hard.
We shouldn't expect much from any freshman as much as we hope so.
A improved defensive line in the middle. But will it be improved enough?

wilson is supposed to be a stud. he was the first player selected by the seniors in for the spring game if i remember correctly. he should be a huge boost for us at the DE spot to fill the loss of vern. gibson is very quick.. i see him from time to time playing baksketball at the rPac.. i'd like to see him at linebacker. DT shouldn't be a concern with Denlinger, Abdallah, Larimore, Worthington, Goebel, and (maybe some spot duty) cam heyward. we should have a very very stout front 7 next year.. hopefully we can improve in safety play a little bit.

I actually thought that the safety play was very good this year..
The defensive line wasn't.

A denominator seems too "common". I'd rather see him be a dominator.

Would be a surprise to me. We return all 4 of the 2 deep at DT and aren't exactly "deep" at DE. Unless he cannot help putting on some weight I dont see you moving someone from a spot where they are KNOWN to be productive to an "unknown." (unless it's a dire need and it isn't given who we return at DT).

if by very good you mean you liked seeing missed tackles and safeties on their knees the 2nd half of the season then yeah. as far as the defensive line is concerned... we played well against the run, and seemingly had a good # of sacks come 2nd half of the season.

?
I don't know what your referring to with your first statement, we must've been watching completely different defenses.
And the second statement, did you watch the LSU game? They pounded it right inside with Hester right over the DT's most of the game... I should've stated I have no problem with the DE's, but the play of the DT's leaves a lot to be desired.
Aren't you the same guy that thinks O'Neal should start over Coleman at safety?
