🏈 Defensive Line

[paintrockfan]

This may sound bad but I need some clarification. Who are the other 2 members of the defense line? Cody gets so much attention that the other linemen get lost in the hype. Who are they and what are their stats? Just for clarification, I am wondering about the starters. Is there any competition for the d-line positions?

Brandon Deaderick and Lorenzo Washington came our of spring as our two starting defensive ends.

Behind them...

Marcel Dareus (watch him- may end up being better than Glenn Dorsey)
Damian Square.
Luther Davis.

Milton Talbert and Glenn Harbin were on the DL in the spring, but have been working with the linebackers a little this fall. Who knows what ends up happening with them.

Others in the mix:

Darrington Sentimore
Chris Bonds
Brandon Moore (doubt there is a decision made for OL or DL-worked with DL so far)
Nick Gentry (who knows if he'll contribute)
William Ming

That's off the top of my head...probably a name or two I've missed.

In addition, there's Josh Chapman and Kerry Murphy backing up Cody. There's also true freshman Chris Bonds.
