This was discussed in the Ball State game thread, and we might as well give this discussion its own thread.

Is it a crazy idea on the surface? Yeah. No doubt.

However, we've noticed the lack of size on our D-Line. Run Defense has been bad.

Andres Dewerk is a big guy. 6'7" and 328 lbs. How about we give this guy something to do? For a couple plays, put him at DT and see what he does. Nobody has anything to lose with this experiment.

Marty Banister, I hope you come across this.

I do not recall the size but it seems we lost in terms of the departing players - Weaver, Rice, Henderson and Doggette. We did get Pius but he has been out. Marty said he was in uniform but would only play in an "emergency" situation. I do not know the criteria for an emergency situation but I would say an 80 yard scoring drive to start the 3rd quarter would be up there.

I dunno. The way our O line was beaten yesterday -- four sacks and six TFLs -- can we afford to make such a move? Our D didn't register a sack but got nine TFLs yesterday.


We will get by.
We will get by.
We will get by.
We will survive.

Not to mention Rhodes got beat on consecutive plays giving up two sacks. Yikers. Thought he was one of our best OL.
