We’ve recruited pretty well at Safety, so Conn needs to be on the hook for their development next year. I don’t know if Hall is the problem. Our lack of DTs forces us to play with 3 DL. This doesn’t seem to work very well for us against big OL that like to hold. We need to establish better DT depth and that will allow Bresee to move around between positions more. Bresee is awesome but can’t just be bottled up in the inside as a DT every play. Remember that he is actually very quick and had a better shuttle time than Bosa or whoever that guy was who was a top draft pick. You can’t force that kind of talent to play out of position every play just because you can’t recruit and develop DTs.
I think it's fair to say we've missed on some 4-5 star recruits at DE. Thus far, nobody can set an edge against elite competition and frankly, have struggled all year against some lesser opponents.
Also, the fact that Orrorho (?) was injured, combined with Capehart not being ready, really hurt us in the interior. I hope we see Bresee move to DE next year (which is really where he needs to be playing).
