NEW SPRING ROSTER

Postby ALEX LIFESON » Thu Mar 01, 2007 9:13 am

Accurate height and weights this year. While you have your normal handful of guys that put on a few pounds, notice how several guys have shrunk an inch! Position changes, and numbers for new players are there as well.

How do we recruit these punters? Morstead is listed at 6-5, 215, Galloway at 6-4, 230.

Interesting:

Dominic Pryor (6-5, 280) - now wearing No. 58 and playing OFFENSIVE line?

A'Darius Medford is listed at WR - I thought he was moving to CB. Not true?

Devin Lowery is listed again at WR, as reported.

some heights and weights went up. The two most interesting Adrian Dizer 6-6, 250 and Chris Parham 6-3, 295.

So correct me if I'm wrong:

DT (5): Dollens, Berry, Lankford, DeGroat, Leonard

DE (11): Thomas, Babcock, Johnson, Crockett, Hughes, Griffin, Parham, Geldert, Dizer, Handy, Muse

How many of the DEs are walk-on? How common is it to have double the number of DEs vs DTs?

Projected starters?

I was surprised to see Thomas listed as a DE. Heldert and Crockett I think are walkons.

I saw Dizer a couple of weeks ago. I didn't get close enough to measure him, and there might be laws against spontaneous measuring, but that kid is enormous.

Parham ain't playing DE at 6-3, 295. He's obviously a DT

You're absolutely right.

Can't wait to read a practice report or two (or 10).

i think the main thing you see happen is I guy may be listed as a DE, and as he puts on weight and grows into his body he may move inside. i like a large number of DE's because that can be a big boost for rotation purposes, especially early on in the season. but its not too uncommon to see guys go from OLB to DE (or DE to OLB) and also DE to DT; however, it's tough for a guy to go from DT to DE. then again maybe PB is thinking about installing the 3-4 defense (pure speculation, and i doubt this would happen)
