Ra'Shede Hageman and other 3-4 end prospects..

3-4 or 4-3 does not matter to me. I just want to see us get "BIG" up front for once, after all the past years of talk. Ropati Pitoitua at 6'8 and Hagemen at 6'6 at our ends would free up our linebackers considerably. Horton already said he will be sending someone every play. If we could start getting the batted passes like Watt does would be a huge impact.

 

Do you think that we could play Casey as a penetrating NT with Hageman and Ropati at DE? Or would this leave us too vulnerable up the gut?

I watched video of Hageman against Wisconsin yesterday and I was disappointed in the number of times that he actually got pancaked. I know Wisconsin has a great OL, but a guy his size shouldn't be getting pancaked several times in the same game. From the inside DT position he just plays too high. Maybe playing as a DE in a 3-4 fits his tall frame better.

 

it was gonna be a competition between him and clowney for the top de in the nation before he got injured, the kid is an absolute animal and i for one, hope we draft him

 

he has played all over the defensive line in his time at florida, which i like because he can switch between schemes
