but power running team will give them big problems unless the Dline steps up their play big time.

There are definitely reasons for optimism here. For starters, we are deeper at DT than we were last year (Lacouture, Godchaux, Thomas, Herron, Bain, plus Neal who plays inside-out, and finally Gilmore who looks like the odd man out of the rotation). That's a lot of bodies to rotate in the interior.

What we need is another Kevin Minter - hard nosed linebacker who runs downhill at ball carriers and hits like a truck. God I miss him. Welter is getting better but he will never be Minter. Maybe Beckwith can be.
