    Passion, if you haven't watched Vea's highlight video, I suggest you do so. He's out of shape and probably 20 pounds overweight, but I will be surprised if he isn't a monster in a year or 2.

    Good news about Tupou. I didn't expect much of him. Maybe getting a fresh start with a new staff is what he needed.

    Dissley is a surprise. I know Mathis has been hurt, but I wasn't impressed with him last year. He looked fat and soft. Too slow to be a DE, too small to be a DT. Of course, a redshirt year should have happened.

    Choate said McGary is raw, but has huge potential. He's massive and doesn't have much fat at all. However, if he's not figuring it out by mid season, maybe he should switch to OL. We could also use him at tackle.

    I've seen it. If Vea has any motivation - at all - he should be an absolute terror.

    Mathis is a bid of a head scratcher. He has all the tools to be an force as a Red Bryant-type DE, or a 3-technique in passing situations. Might be a work ethic issue.

    Elijah Qualls? Elijah Qualls? Bueller? Bueller?
    I don't get the Mathis-Red comparison. Two totally different body types there. I guess they both play strongside DE, but I think Mathis has far more pass rush upside. I would say that Michael Bennett would be a more appropriate comparison, as I agree with you that he could move inside on passing downs. Regardless, it's nice to see some actual talent on our DL.

    Not to be all one star legend superiority guy but Nate Robinson was a 6 star basketball player at the Beach who played football as a hobby. The other guys are no Stan Empterman.

    Being a one star legend is very exclusive. Its not scrappy Ty recruits. A legend is legendary

    Its been 25 years.

    Can't wait for Dissly to roam the sidelines on crisp Fall days this season.

    These rumors of player development haven't been heard since the turn of the century. Maybe the fan base will like their players the longer the stay for a change.

    Vea will step right in for Shelton next year. Qualls is doing fine. He has earned decent reviews so far and will be a good depth player. Mathis should have been red shirted. My guess is if Mathis sticks it out here he will be one of those guys who is good as a senior and we'll all think "he really needs another year."

    The other thing about the DL is it improved noticeably at the end of last season but it went unrealized. Littleton, Hudson and Jamora all improved.

    Too bad Vea probably won't be ready to contribute this season. The push from the middle is where further improvement can be made.

    Is this Dissley the new one star legend? I mean its been about 25 years since the last one

    Nate Robinson or Mason Foster were the most recent ones.
    Donald Butler and Cort Dennison say hi.
    Never mention Cort Dennison and Donald Butler in the same sentence ever again. Dismissed.

    Mason Foster being a 2 star QB and what he turned into is pretty crazy.
