I think you were the one Jonesy who talked about guys like Atkinson being "football players." I'm hoping that is true and I think our front 7 will be solid in future years if we get our DT situation resolved

Yeah we have recruited a lot of finesse players the past 4-5 years but I think we have some real football players in this class. Not a lot of star power and big egos, just some quality position players with some upside.

You kind of heard Malzahn hint at it a lot yesterday when he used the "tough" buzzword with most of the guys we signed.

I'm not trying to say this year we turned a new leaf and that these guys are the ones that are going to finally bring toughness to our defense. I just think its a good start.
