re: According to Lyle, "We have zero continuity on offense"

DL, particularly DE is talented but thin. It's another big question mark along with QB.

DE rotation will rely heavily on these 3: Jonathan Kobgbo, Darrell Taylor, and Kyle Phillips. FR DeAndre Johnson likely #4 with much smaller role.

DT rotation: Vickers, McKenzie, Tuttle, A. Johnson, Q. Picou, P Bain + Kongbo sliding in situationally. Possibly 2 freshman sparingly if not receiving a RS.

When healthy, the DT depth is 6 guys deep. 7 w/ Kongbo sliding in on passing downs. DE rotation is only at 3-4. Big positive is that almost the entire DL is JR/SR upperclassmen and physically ready. Kongbo w/ a very similar build to M. Garrett. Legit 6'6 265. It will be critical for DE's to stay healthy or we are in trouble. A lot of our highest rated guys on the line have unfortunately had some of the most injuries. Tuttle, McKenzie, and Phillips were all borderline or outright 5* DT/DT/DE composites. All 3 for one reason or another have had season ending injuries every year or just about every yearthey've been on campus outside of McKenzies FR year and possibly Phillips. It's fair to say they haven't lived up to their ranking at this point, but it's also fair to admit the injuries have decimated a combined 4-5 seasons between the 3 and all 3 haven't had a chance to edge out a name for themselves. McKenzie and Tuttle were playing their best football of their careers last season prior to the injuries. The talent is there, but they need a big year.

DE: D. Taylor
DT: K. Vickers
DT: K. McKenzie
DE: J. Kobgbo

Tuttle fights for starting time once his knee is back to 100%. That's likely not until after the Georgia Tech game.
