It's a good move. Tomerlin hasn't played TE since high school. Meanwhile, he's a huge pass-rushing threat at open end. Either we could put him at TE where he possibly wouldn't start (Phillips is doing a great job stepping up into the starting role) or we could use him at DE where he would be in the regular rotation and could make some plays for us. Our D-Line is gonna be great this year.
DE - Carriker and Moore
Muhammed and Tomerlin
Potter and Turner
Blankenship and Steinkuhler
DT - Smith and Adams
Dagunduro and Cryer
Suh and Helming
We're gonna be very deep and will definitely get a good pass rush going with these 14 guys who will all see time. At TE, we're gonna be alright.
TE - J.B. Phillips
Josh Mueller
Clayton Sievers
David Harvey
Sean Hill
with a very outside chance of Herian returning this year. Still though, I think Phillips and Sievers will step up big time at TE, and Mueller might even live up to the hype he drew coming in. We'll be alright.
