Tobin Phillips is the only DT with any size, so he will be critical to stay healthy. No player on the team outside of McKee is more important to play the whole season. And it would seem they are going to need a contribution from True Frosh Jaxson Moi. I don't get why Stanford has him listed as a DE when he is needed at DT. Zach Rowell could potentially move inside too?

THERE IS NO "DE" AND "DT" ANYMORE. How many times do I need to keep saying it?

Stanford listed the #CardClass2022 recruits tab with their positions PRIOR to the official 4-3 shift. Note that the OLBs are still called OLBs on that page. 

Moi (and Zach Rowell, and Pat Caughey) are all considered DL now, and will all be at those 2 inside spots.

At least this one more time so I could see it for the first time :)

That's good news, but why didn't anyone comment on my "positive" interpretation re: DL in general? Why is everyone pedantic, and not want to discuss the wider thrust of posts?  

Does anyone see the possibility of a faster, more attacking DL beyond myself?

And has anyone seen or heard anything about Aristotle Taylor possibly getting on the field, or otherwise anything about his development?

For the record I actually agree and do see the possibility of a faster front 4, but it's a "show me the money" situation for me. A shift to a 4-3 really means wanting the OLBs (now EDGEs) to be a little bigger, and does make up a bit for smaller inner 2's. Guys like Keneley and Armitage that are in the 250-260 range fit the bill more. It got really exhausting seeing 230lb guys like Jordan Fox and Gabe Reid continually getting blown off the ball playing a position they really shouldn't have been (they would both be better suited as 4-3 strongside backers).

I think we'll have to see how the non-Phillips guys look weight-wise. I'd want them to ideally be at least 280.

Radio silence on Taylor, who was hurt all year and is also now listed as an EDGE.
