Which one of these D-linemen is the camp gem? Where did all this depth come from? And can we sneak any of these players onto the practice Squad, or will they get poached? Decisions. Decisions. Decisions..........

Hendrickson, with Lawrence right behind him.

This depth came from good coaching since Bill "I quit working after 2011" Johnson departed after 2016 season. We've drafted well up front, too, with Jordan, Hendrickson, Rankins, Onyemata & Davison all here via the draft and each have gained so much experience even being as young as they are. Drafted talent, no less, as all these except Davison picked before the 5th rd.

And I believe wholeheartedly that there will be a poaching going on for both our defense & offense P.S. players. Great problem to have, though. 3-4 years ago our defense cuts would be starting or playing a bunch of snaps.

Our D-line has some talent, and coming into TC that was the one area I was worried about.

Now you see, even before Davenport, I thought our defensive line was becoming a strength, but lacked depth...

While I was disappointedin the first round reach, passing Harrison Phillips in the third, the market. fortunately, for back-end depth really came together...

We'll see in the third preseason game and in the first quarter of the season just how good it is...

"Becoming a strength...". This is a great concept; coaching young talent & developing. Love the fact a lot of our DLine are homegrown.

Watched Phillips vs Browns & he looked really good. Sure you wanted to hear that. I so bad wanted him too.
