Thoughts about the dline rotation and why I'm encouraged and excited

[Rayman70]

Who here has thought about what our dline rotation may look like come week 1? I say we have many reasons to be giddy about the talent we have...and we didnt break the bank.Lets say we sign McClain,so factor that in,then for the most part,we start the season healthy,whats your line up look like across the defensive line? I will wait before I respond with my potential starters. Post your forecasted lineup.

When was the last time we could say there are less questions on D than there is on the O?

Every year they been adding players, trying to fix the DL. I feel a lot better about them now than for a long time.
Still a little concerned about the 1 tech, but maybe someone or several emerge. That is what

We will have some really good depth, and even have a few good players to trade or unfortunately cut.

That is what TC is all about and part of the excitement see how they develop.

My starters would be: DLAW/EALY @ end. Taco(2nd string..but plays some under tackle). Armstrong will be a rotational guy. Tapper will see actual game time as a tackle.Irving starting tackle, Brian Price will surprise and start. McClain will be situational. So I predict that Tyrone Crawford will be odd man out and be traded or cut after camp. To recap: DLAW,Irving,Price,Ealy. I would say,if healthy,thats pretty intriguing guys. We would have top notch depth like the iggles did last year at the dline. Health is the key. If Ealy is who we think he can be, its going to be one nasty pass rush. That's why I'm excited. You notice I didn't factor in Gregory. That's all gravy if he comes back and gets time.I think Armstrong will be used at under tackle at times too. Marinelli loves to get those quick smallish dudes moved around.

I LOVE our depth at dline now. The starters look good too. I think we can be 3 deep good across the dline. With Philly and the Giants to contend with,we better be dominant on D.

As long as our D squashes their Offense, and our Offense runs over and through them, as it now "looks" as if we may be a run 1st O, and we get to see their D line sucking for air and being carted off the field...I'm ALL good with it!

Ealy gonna shock folks. Ealy screaming off the edge opposite DLaw... wow!! We could be loaded for bear.

Seems to me like we've got 15+ candidates there, fighting for about 10 spots. 3-4 obvious locks, and then just a whole lot of guys who are either young players looking to earn a spot or mid-level vets trying to hang on in the league. Who knows how it's going to work out. Signing McClain will just add another body to that room.

Wish we had the same issue with the back 7.
