I think the possibility exists that Idonije moves to DT and Davis, Wooten, Shea and Peppers are our DEs. Totally bases on how well MeClenin starts out. I would say Louis is a sure things as Williams moves outside. I doubt if any of the first year guys on OL make the opening day roster except Brown,sinced they dropped Horn.

The Oline on opening day:

Webb,Carimi,Garza,C. Williams, E. Williams, Spencer,Rachal, Louis. maybe Brown on practice squad and brought up in case of injury. I also think with OT thin, there could still be a training camp cut in the league that could be brought in at the last minute, if somes injuries pop up.

Isn't Paea a 3-technique tackle? I don't think he starts over Melton, and usually you want to have a run stuffer next to your pass rushing DT. That's why I think Idonije starts, but I could be wrong.

 

Idonije unfortunately stinks... Paea is 300lbs and is probably the strongest player in the league (i know, Sproles, pound for pound)... Just put him out there with Melton..

No way can Izzy compete with Paea at DT, especially not at his DE weight. Izzy might end up in the DT rotation if that fits best but he is still a better DE IMO and I'd rather have him there and as emergency backup at DT.

Melton and Idonije both will play the 3 tech spot, so they wouldnt be starting at the same time.

I think the OLine goes as follows Williams, Rachel, Garza, Louis, Carimi.

I think Dline will be McClenin, Melton/Idonije(rotation), Paea/Toeiea(rotation), Peppers.

 

Idonije is 10 to 15 lighter than he should be at DT but with his experience and having played there before, dont see it as a reach. All of this is based on Shea being able to handle the run well. With Shea and Idonije in there at the same time, it makes the left side of the line light. If McCargo shows anything, Idonije will stay at DE.
