Is anyone concerned about our D front?

I can't find anything on this guy. I wonder if he is sitting out again?

He may never come back to football, which is hard to believe. He struggles with weight too.

Last year our DL was average at best and below average when it came to rushing the passer. Yes, some of our guys are a year older but does that mean better? Consider a couple of our DT are way overweight and we have a tough schedule, we cannot afford anymore injuries to this unit. Last year we were unable to get any real pressure from our DT position or rarely any tackles behind the LOS. I do believe we will have to resort to a lot of blitzes to get pressure but sometimes that has its own risks. Can this line hold up especially at the middle and end of a long tough season? Will we be able to keep enough guys fresh?
I bring this up because SEC is a LOS league. I believe the left side of our OL will be good but the right side concerns me.
I think we are strong everywhere else but going forward I'm still concerned about our OL and DL. I know I know time will tell but is anyone else a bit concerned prior to the season beginning? If there is any position that could conceivably blow our chances for a winning season then that one unit for me is the DL.

If we learn to tackle that would be great.

We have over 20 bodies listed on roster, some are probably walk on, practice help kind of guys. Staff needs 8 to have a two deep. Not as concerned about DL as I am LB, OL, even RB. DL should be a strength.
