run stopping will be the strength of this DL

Definitely seems to be the forte of that unit. Last year they were very stout.

Pass rushing will be interesting. Lose Lawson obviously and we don't have anybody that's a pass rush machine like him. We have some guys that are good pass rushers, but it's not clear how consistent they will be on an every play basis. Don't think the depth is great for pass rushers either, so if somebody like Holland goes down it could hurt. Depth at DT and SDE is good though

I really thought Cowart was going to be a great pass rusher but I guess that was never his style of play. Can this lack of pass rushers be put on poor recruiting or players just not panning out as planned?

how often does arden key put his hand in the dirt?

He did it all the time in 2015 and did it a lot in 2016. He'll play more in a 2 point stance this year though. He can do both but I think he's more comfortable in a 2 point stance.

Aranda had problems transitioning to a 3-4 last year due to how the roster was shaped after many years of it being a 4-3. They only really embraced the 3-4 right before the Alabama game.
