What kind of a defense will we be running?

Everyone of the DL transfers and high school offers have a similar body type. Height between 6'2" - 6'7" and weight between 250lbs to 285lbs for transfers or 190lbs up to 250lbs for high school recruits.

Like where are the big body DT? Are we just going to knife our way to the backfield with everyone? What happened to the big body DT who has one job to command the double team so the LB can make their way in the backfield. And God forbid you don't double team one of these big body DT because they will beat any single block and take the head off anyone who has the ball.

This appears to be a problem especially against teams with big body OL that are run heavy like our OL. Our OL looks so much better because they are going up against small body DT over and over again. LT is not ready to take on double teams which means a lot of stunts and slants to use their athleticism and could result in scheming ourselves right out of play if the right run play is called.

We need a mirror image of the type of players Mario is recruiting at OL for the DL too.
