Still no report on any practices thus far? Not a single post practice interview with any coach? Is there some sort of media blackout or effort to limit coverage of Stanford football training camp this year?Â
Anyway, as for the DL, while watching the Spring Game, aside from Harrison Phillips being the best DL, it sure looked like Eric Cotton was doing pretty well for himself. You'd have to think Dylan Jackson will be improved as a RS Soph, so the starters are probably going to be sound on the DL.
My disconnect is between what I read reported about Michael Williams and Jovan Swann being impressive, and how little they stood out to my eye watching that Spring Game. It is imperative that at least 2/3 of Williams, Swann, and Wade-Perry be able to make meaningful contributions for Stanford to be in contention for a Pac-12 championship or more in November. That would give Stanford 5 DL to rotate, and a solid backup for Phillips. Given they play a lot of 2 man DL, that should be enough.Â
