Tank actually played too light last year. He had lost weight and was quicker but was also on skates most of the year and incapable of plugging things up like he did the year before. He’s actually up on weight this year.
In my mind our DEs should all be between 260-280. Like Johnson from two years ago. Obviously throw in a couple lighter edge rush specialists but we can’t have 230-240lb DEs and expect to be a great defense.
I don’t trust the listed weights. They have been horrible at keeping them current. Hopefully they give an accurate account at the beginning of fall camp.
Our prototype at OLB should have been Labat. 6’2” 230lbs. Having fast guys out there is fine but we don’t run a 4-3 so we need guys that are bigger than 220 at LB.
