Pretty much said Hutmacher is ready to play. So NU now has Snacks and the Polar Bear at NG. Both are prototypical 3-4 NGs. He also mentioned Ru’Quan Buckley as a guy who could play early. Dline could really be a strength this year.
Dline - Daniels Q&A
- Thread starter inWV
- Start date
Very excited about the young players future we have on the defensive line.. Robinson,Rogers, Hutmacher, Weaver and Buckley...
They look like a force to reckon with..

I’m done drinking the off-season koolaid. It tastes good going down, but always ends in a stomach ache.
Thanks for sharing. I was wondering... now I can move forward with my life without worrying about where you stand.
So we are looking at a potential 2 deep of Ty-Snacks-Stille, then Rogers-Nash-Deontre(?)
I think that's probably a good bet. I think Riley might sneak into the game before Nash though because of experience? Just a guess.
Nash is just such a Freak in the weight room, if the guy has skills like we hope he does then its going to be really fun watching his next few years! Guys like him allow the rest of the defense to excel at a high level... Just look at what Suh did for NU!
OK. Stay off the board then.
Love the offseason! It's those fall Saturdays that have sucked lately. Hope that ends this year!
That's how I read it. If Polar Bear isn't a Nose Tackle I don't know who is.
IMO the most intense competition on the whole team is on the DL, they have around 8 guys worthy of seeing the field for 3 spots. They don't always play a 30 front when they have more DBs on the field but they don't really go DE DT DT DE it's usually more like OLB DE DE OLB if I recall.
Dunno if that would be my approach given how bad the OLB spot has been aside from JoJo, but then you get into the discussion of body types for packages and blah blah blah do you want a 6-3 300 guy trying to chase a QB around on pass rush downs.
The way they talk about him is almost like it's not a conditioning issue, he's just a guy who gets tired. Some people just aren't wired for endurance. Obviously he's doing the same work everyone else does and he's not THAT fat, he has a gut but you don't see him and go "Whoa he's a heart attack waiting to happen!"
I think dude just tires easily. And let's remember too that it's hellacious work to be 320 pounds and fight two guys who are 300 pounds each every single play. I'd get tired too if I had to shove 600 pounds around all day.
I thought Daniels really started to come into his own late last season. I think he's going to continue that.
Had a better season last year than the year before and this year there is more help.
It would be a major strength if we had a strong rotation on the d line and just kept platooning new guys in. Not only is that going to wear down and offense line, but the different ways of attacking will create chaos in their blocking schemes
It also helps you to reload from year to year instead of rebuild.
I would say that Snacks is about 100 half pound cheeseburgers north of 320. No way he only weighed 320 last year. That's fine. As the season went on, he played more and more snaps on consecutive plays. Run stuffing noses in the NFL usually aren't 3 down guys either.
He was good all year. He didn't come into his own. The coaching staff finally figured out to play him more than spot minutes.
It’s literally like this every single year and every year it’s the same result. I’m not saying don’t get excited if you want to be.
No, it’s all good, I hear ya... it was just good to know where you stood specifically. I was on pins and needles before you made your position clear. I slept better the last few days than I have in months not having to worry about your position. Thanks!
Not at all, just kidding around. I always find it funny when people come on here and counter any koolaid drinkers with where they stand. Sarcasm is about the only thing I’m good at.
