beef at defensive tackle

[brokenarrow73]

I think we could use a little more ballast on the interior of the line

It's coming next year. Nixon and Shannon are over 300 and LinderBomb is likely to add weight as well. Can't sacrifice speed and footwork tho which I don't think the aforementioned will.

Beef isn't the only answer. They didn't do much to stop free runs at the LB's and the LB's didn't shed blockers very well.

Wisconsin has a tremendous OL. They manhandled us all game.

It appeared the 2nd Rotation upfront did better than the starters. Not a good evening for the starting front 4. I.m not sure if I can remember even hearing A. Nelson's name mentioned. Matt Nelson really appeared to struggle.

Not having Daviyon Nixon (6-3 306) hurts, he, Shannon (6-1 300) and converted DE Lattimore at (6-3 295) are the only ones close to having that plug the middle size you'd typically like. Our D-line is basically DEs and former DEs.

Hesse struggled immensely. AJ should’ve received the majority of the snaps last night.

All AJ does is create havoc on opposing teams and Ferentz will not play him more. Has Hesse best talent wise X10. Go figure. I really don’t think KF is interested in being a top program. Feel bad for AJ.

Do they though? Would they need 7 300lbers on the line if their line was so great tackle to tackle?

Nixon is not eligible to play.
