    Gladstone to your question ... the DL rotation next year would be Jaylon, Levi, Bowman, likely Bronson, perhaps Ricky McCoy makes a jump ... and yes, Benning is a wild card.

    It’s not as good as this year’s DL obviously, but that’s still a very good P12 DL

    Benning needs to play DL. Period. He sucks in space.
    Does he really?

    Yeah. I remember seeing him play as a RS Fr and thinking "damn, he's still playing like a high scool kid who is bigger than everyone else." No technique, just run at the guy with the ball.

    Still see a lot of that this year. Taking bad angles, coming in high, bad tackling form, taking plays off. They need to put some weight on him and try him inside.

    Benning reminds me a lot of Everette Thompson: Big time talent who realized only a fraction of his potential. Neither quite developed the quickness and moves to be great on the edge; never quite developed the bulk and strength to be great inside.

    In Thompson's case, I think injuries were a factor.

    Yep. Donny Mateaki another.

    Dick Baird used to jo over this kid EVERY year. God it got old.

    It takes time to develop. Maybe he will be good next year.

    Tweeners who've worked out: David Richie, Daniel Te'o Nesheim, Jaylen Johnson. Full stop.

    Tweeners are a thing of the past, to some extent. Coaches have gotten better at using versatile players. I think Potoa'e will be a 3-tech next year. He might play on the edge some, when they use the 3 down linemen and just one stand-up OLB, but I think he'll play more and more inside.

    There are lots of other "tweeners" who have been successful at UW.

    For example, Kikaha was a 6'2" 230 pound kid with a big frame who was recruited as a DE. He was on the small side to be a DL, but didn't have the physical attributes to be a traditional LB either.

    The whole BUCK position is basically designed for tweeners.

    Might as well cancel the 2018 and 2019 seasons

    You’re talking about DE/OLB tweeners. I’m talking about DT/DE tweeners.

    Like Solomon Thomas? Yeah that guy was fucking useless. Too bad he declared early and was drafted #3, would have liked to see him start at Stanford indefinitely.
