First, the published starting D is in a 4-2-5 scheme and it appears we are taking a page out of the Seattle Seahawk defensive alignment by putting a LB @ DE in a 4-man front.
Second, Matt Dimon has always been a DE but it appears he has been moved inside. Either his posted weight is a typo or he is extremely light for the position. He is an outstanding player who was recruited out of Texas H.S. power Katy.
Finally, the NB position will be used primarily in the same manner we used our great safety, Roy Williams; i.e., down in the box. Steven Parker played a lot as a freshman last year and is highly thought of.
DE: Eric Striker...6'0", 222lbs Sr.
DT: Matt Dimon...6'2", 260lbs Jr. or Charles Walker...6'2', 297 lbs Rs-So
DT: Matt Romar...6'0", 291lbs Rs-So
DE: Charles Tapper...6'2", 282lbs Sr
ILB: Jordan Evans...6'2", 239lbs Jr
ILB: Dom Alexander...6'0", 220lbs Jr
CB: Zach Sanchez...5"11", 179lbs Rs-Jr
CB: Jordan Thomas...6'0", 191lbs So
FS: Hatari Byrd...6'1", 206lbs Jr
SS: Ahmad Thomas...6'0", 213lbs Jr
NB: Steven Parker...6'1", 200lbs So
We are incredibly deep in the front 6/7 so I expect lots of rotation within this group, much like our WR group which will probably see as many as 8 rotate in and out of the offensive lineup. When you run a spread, fast tempo, passing attack you need lots of WR depth.
