Am I the only one who thinks we are fine at DT?

This is a do or die year for Rat and personally I believe he will finally be ready to go since he had his surgery, I expect dominance from Hatcher at the other dt spot, Lissemore and Callaway are decent depth.

Crawford is a DE but is big enough to play tackle I suppose but I see him backing up Ware and Spencer. To me it seems we need depth at DE more than DT but I'd draft both, preferably early cuz we need a pass rushing specialist (Never have enough good blitzers.)

We aren't hurting unless Rat just keels over again............

Mike mayock thinks star lotulelei falls to us at #18! What are the odds of this happening? Do you think he'd be a good fit in kiffin's scheme?

Hatcher hasn't dominated any spot, DE or DT. Ratliff's play has declined last couple years and is injury prone. Both are over 30. We need youth and speed and someone who can get up the field. We ARE hurting.

Yeah I concur it's time to start looking for replacements and upgrades. Rat and Hatcher have been playing in a 3-4 so that extra down lineman (Switching to 4-3) will free up some pressure/blocking on both of them. If they are both healthy I'm expecting one last hurrah from both of them, it's the vets time to shine one more time.. Bringing in some youth will definitely light a fire under both of their buttocks, it's a win win in my book...
