[QUOTE="tynimiller, post: 917165, member: 6578"] Inconsistent...I'm sorry I just gotta assume this is based on nothing except speculation. At times you seem to make a lot of statements based on pure speculation and nothing more - which is fine to do, but I'm sorry Keke has been one of the actual shining spots of our defensive line when it comes to consistently taking steps forward in his progression as a football player. Shoot some would argue he was the only one last year that did so, even Clark had a slightly down year in 2020 compared to his 2019 (I disagree with that but I've heard that from pundits). Many folks here agree with you (raises my own hand) that the overall weakest position group is DL, and many would love to see Lancaster get bumped from the position group by Heflin...if nothing more than have a younger guy with what appears to be a higher ceiling that is motivated. I love Lancaster the guy, great kid, but his time has come IMO. [USER=6794]@captainWIMM[/USER] probably said it best about the DL group in that it hasn't regressed for sure, but it still leaves a lot to be desired. Slaton has played amazingly well, but I think folks expecting our hopeful growth to come from a raw (but very athletic) rookie drafted on Day 3 to slow their roll just a bit. Keke is the guy one justified to expect that growth to come from given he is entering his third season now and has shown steady and consistent progress. If Slaton steals snaps from Lancaster and can spell Clark on maybe two series a game without much of a drop his rookie year that will be awesome (and I truly think he can do that). Heflin appears to be the type of guy you want to take that future swing on given his ceiling being unknown at the moment (Lancaster's I feel is pretty crystalized as bottom depth guy). Again preseason but the dude nearly graded out at 80 (79.7) according to PFF in that second preseason game - that's freaking awesome! Previlon is a guy quietly staying active from what I'm hearing as well...second year after a Covid rookie season, things could start clicking for him too. Either way we all agree the DL group as a whole has a lot to prove, our top shelf is arguably one of the best (Clark), we have that middle shelf consistent guy in Lowry (not a big play guy, but consistent)...and then we have a guy like Keke that clearly has more upside than Lowry, can make big plays it seems more and hopefully should progress more.
