We need Defensive Linemen "."

Guys that can line up inside, set the edge, 3-4 DE, 4-3 DE or DT...

V-E-R-S-A-T-L-I-T-Y is the name of the game on defensive lines...

Big 6' 4", 5", 6" with solid bulk and weight between 315 to 330 lbs

Linemen who can jam two gaps, collapse the pocket, draw/occupy double teams while speedier linebackers blitz, stunt the passer...

That's why guys like Jarran Reed or Kevin Dodd or my under-the-radar guy BYU's Bronson Kaufusi are ideal and will quickly find a starting role on this defense...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Both of the Alabama DT's are probably good fits for plugging the run. Neither are the next Warren Sapp, but both will probably have solid NFL careers.
