Defensive Line Size

I get it, but look at bama’s dline and their size, then look at ours. Then look and see who stopped the run better. We need a pocket pusher in the middle.

According to the dlinemen that have been interviewed ( specifically Rochester) Kirby wants all of his linemen to be in the 295-300 range so they're interchangeable. I think the days of the 330-340 pound NT are over for our defense. I think that's why we didn't push real hard for the big guy that went to FSU last year that everyone wanted to flip (forget his name now).

I'll never forget "old what's his name"

Robert Cooper maybe??? I only remember the ones that sign with the Dawgs!

Go to 247 Bama draft history. Da'Ron Payne 308 lb DT, Da'Shawn Hand 288 lb DE, Johnathan Allen 289 DE, Dalvin Tomlinson 305 DT. Yeah UGA has that kind of size RIGHT NOW. The difference is bama has been recruiting that level of talent for over a decade so they are obviously ahead of everyone except clemson when it comes to development. Had Trent Thompson came back I would argue UGA has easily a top 5 D-line. We all are aware of the recent years slip in D-line recruiting but those days are gone with the wind.

A couple years away but 2020 commit Nazir Stackhouse fits the mold of the current trend.

6'4" 280ish and quick!

Is this anecdotal or is there d line actually heavier by a significant margin? I agree with others on here, the days of Mount Cody in the sec are over. If you look at the body composition of the guys we are bringing in they look like an oversized LB or DE and not so much like an offesensive guard.

Georgia’s D-LINE has a HUGE ADVANTAGE over ANY OTHER D-LINE ANYWHERE! They practice every single day against GEORGIA’S OFFENSIVE LINE!!!
GO DAWGS!!!

Exactly as has already been said. Kirby wants speed and physicality on the line, not just size. Seeing guys between 250-300 pounds is a lot more common now

The 250 to 300lb players are not just inter-changeable components though. Those rare 300lb guys with athleticism, mobility, stamina and the power to hold their ground against OGs are now an X-factor. The fact they are both rare and critical components makes them a huge priority in recruiting now.

Yeah, they both did that thing, with the guy, in the place.
