I agree about the d-line, but put me in the minority that thinks Compton will keep his starting spot ahead of Martin, which should give him an edge in the stat department.honestly I wont be surprised if teams approach us differently this year and we see less productivity out of the tackles because of that. So I'll be different and say Cam Meredith or a LB like Martin.
I really hope so. I loved it when Charlie would light up some QB with his blitz packages in the 90s.Meredith all the way. I think he's ready to blow up. New question: With how good the secondary (mainly corners) are going to be, do we see more blitzes next year? If so, I'd love to see Martin on that MIKE blitz that Dillard sacked Landry with when we played OU. I can also see Prince being a big blitzing threat. They layed off the corner blitz last year after we got burned too many times using it against KU, I'd like the see that back again.
Teams saw how disruptive our DT's were last year. I would expect to see some delay blitzs for Martin or some safety blitz for Smith or Thearnse if they are doubling Stein or Crick constantly.honestly I wont be surprised if teams approach us differently this year and we see less productivity out of the tackles because of that.

Yes, that is IF they are being double teamed. While Crick, Stienkuler, Moore, & Co. are unquestionably talented, I think it has yet to be seen whether any of them can command the kind of attention from opposing offenses that SUH was able to. I'm not saying someone won't emerge, I'm just saying until the season starts and the bullets start to fly we won't really know how dominate this D-line will be.Teams saw how disruptive our DT's were last year.
