It’s important because we all known games are won at the line of scrimmage. In the CAA if you control the line of scrimmage you probably win.
Exceptional skill players may be few and far between but very good skill players are not hard to fine.

When you have holes you fill them . DT and NG are position holes. Last season we had to move DE's to the inside DT/NT position because we were short at that position for what ever reason. How do you know that they are prepared at the inside D lineman position ? It's 12 D Lineman on the roster not to include whos showing up now and in the Fall. 3 of the 12 are DT. You made my point for me . 3 DT out of 12 D lineman and you don't see anything wrong here . If anything it should be 6 DT's out of the 12 D lineman.

But hey , i'm just a fan who has never coached college football

Correct in a 3-4 but an opposing offense it’s going to focus on running right up the gut. And with very few interior lineman we sort locked into a 3-4 and would be difficult to change on the fly

But hey , i'm just a fan who has never coached college football It not about who coached at what level or any level it's about numbers. 3 inside DT/NT out of 12 D lineman those numbers don't add up . 3-4 maybe the base defensive formation but it may not be a teams dominant defensive formation . In game situational changes and adjustments, dictate defensive strategies and formations . That is why you have to be prepared and have the personnel in place to make those changes. 3-D tackles is not enough no matter how you try to twist it . Also the key in the 3-4 is have a dominant Nose that demands the offensive line to double or triple team him . Freeing up the linebackers plug the gaps. He must be able to also control the A gap and put up field pressure in the opposing teams backfield. So you're going to tell me that probably the most physical and demanding position on the defensive side of the ball the inside defensive tackle/NT.That having just three inside defensive lineman is enough 😆

Based on what I know/believe, we're out of balance in relation to DEs vs. interior D-linemen (DTs & NGs). And I don't believe we have 1 NG that would be acceptable to run the 3-4. Caleb Jones was the only 1 that I know of.

Another perspective is could any of those high school DEs be converted inside after a year or two of strength programming? A neighbor kid of mine went into college as a 6'4 240 lb tight end. He came out as a 310 pound offensive guard and had a cup of coffee with the Minnesota Vikings from a D2 school.

As an example, most who didn't know him when he came to AggieLand wouldn't recognize Darryl Johnson by the time he started playing at about 240. He was a string bean when he came! I also wonder where Ja'Ny Alston will play at what they list as 6'6 270. Seems he could play DT in the 4-3 and DE in 3-4...gotta stay low. We'll see what happens.
