Mario is well Mario. Good on run def and rushing the passer.
Weaver will be what he has always been advertised as.. A run stopper. Although healthy and lighter he may get some more pressure on passing downs. Anyone who thinks he doesnt make this team is crazy IMO.
At DT you have Amobi, TJ, and Okam who are the likely candidates for the rotation. TJ really stepped up last year from his previous performances, and I hope to see even better from him this year.
This leaves 2 DE and 1 DT spot left.
I think Kalu sticks. He isnt great but he has done OK on passing downs. The rest I cant really say. Cochran seems to be a favorite but who knows how that plays out.
My last DT is Bulman. I think he really has the best shot. He was taking reps with the 1's in OTA's with TJ down, and they were working him outside for pass rushing. A versital guy like that is good to have.
The biggest suprise I could see is Okam starting over TJ. Although to some that may not be a suprise. And with the DL rotation starters at some spots are less a starter than others.
