There, I just solved 1/7th of our problems.
Start Ricardo Mathews over Reyes

Yep. This is the other side of wanting a legitimate starting NT. It would free up Lissemore to take over at 3-4 DE opposite Liuget. This, in turn, would maximize Reyes' value as a pass rushing DL player because he could be kept fresh for just those situations. But I would not let him set foot on the field until the defense was in a very long down and distance situation such as 2nd and 15 or more or 3rd and 7 or more. Anything less than that presents a running opportunity for our opponents with Reyes on the field.
Any of our other defensive linemen are more stout than Reyes, but I agree that Mathews would be the best choice among them to start. Again, if we ever get or develop a true starting NT, then Lissemore would be the best 3-4 DE to use instead of Reyes.Last edited by Yubaking; 11-03-2014, 01:11 PM.

After a loss like yesterday, it wouldn't be a terrible idea to put a couple of guys (Butler, Reyes) 'on notice'. That is, step it up or you'll be riding the pine. I would be 100% in favor of starting Conner over Butler; and Matthews over Reyes. Christ, it can't just be business as usual after a game like that.
