That's exciting to hear. That's a big frame to go along with a strong talent set too. Hope we can utilize it well

What do you guys think?

I'm thinking that if we are running a 3-4 when we land Neal, we don't put on all that weight and he is an OLB. Now it's a little too late. I think he has put on about 40 lb's. Too big to play OLB.

Kind of doubt it. 6-7 is pretty tall for an OLB.

From what i have heard he could have played NT last year. Heard he was enjoying college life as a freshman and redshirt and was way more than 270. So thinking he was ever gonna be an olb was out the window a long time ago. Also, i never saw him being an olb. Frame and movement never lined up for that. But he could be a stud 3-4 end. And from what ive heard about him deciding to buckle down over winter and getting his body right was true.

For those of you still wondering, this is what a Bob Diaco defense looks like.




33 sacks for Bob Diaco's front seven during the 2012 Season. I can imagine something similar that the Davis trio and company will be looking to emulate.
 
@husker_fan_from_sweden, I refuse to watch anything pertaining to the Irish on sheer principle.

There was a comment made by a media guy about the defensive line not pass rushing in this defense, but it seems like there's actually quite a bit of slanting into gaps to rush the QB in that video.

Makes me wonder obviously depending on how Daniels and Watt come in if Khalil maybe switches to DE after they arrive? Probably a pipe dream. Some of the backup lineman don't seem to excite but I think Khalil has ability.

I remember Tuitt and Nix controlling a lot of plays at the LOS that year. Hopefully C. Davis and and Freedom can duplicate their play

Tuitt (de), Nix (ng) - both went in the 2nd rd of nfl draft

Tuitt 6'6 300 lbs

Nix 6'2 340 lbs
