John Palermo recently made some interesting satements on several players;
On Daniel McCullers: He noted the hard work that went into losing almost 40lbs. Still needs work on his conditioning.
Greg Clark: weighs 320 and needs conditioning work.
Trent Taylor: Has talent but is inconsistent.
Danny OBrien: Has improved after after spending last 3 months in Kville.
Omari Phillips: fat and out of shape.
Steven Fowlkes: coach speak for dont expect much
Corey Miller: pass rusher only, cannot stop the run
Obviously Couch and Sentimore are 1st Team, who will join them? Marlon, Hood, Saulsberry, and Taylor are the front runners.
Palermo on whether he has a lot of similar players or some who stand out more than others: Thats a good question, and I cant tell you Ive got an honest answer for you at this particular point. Theres two guys that have really stood out, and thats Couch and Sentimore. Right now a lot of the other guys are bunched up a little bit.
Palermo on depth: Basically doesnt know if we have what we need to compete. Says he wants to watch the scrimmage first which to me means that we do not.
In a 3-4 scheme, that is always the case for 4-3 DE's. They only fit on passing downs, or when we go "Multiple" and give a 4-3 look...which will probably be more common than most expect here.
EDIT: One other thing to keep in mind is that we really don't need McCullers playing every down. We have plenty of depth at NT, and Phillips is one of those that can come in only for a few plays to give Big Mac a breather. So, conditioning is less of a concern when you have good depth.
