Memorial, yes, Davis lined up on the left last season. I haven’t heard about him moving to the right side, but we’ll find out more over the next few weeks. Mack, a guy like Trevor Guyton could be in the mix as a backup as a true freshman, but Cal is high on some of the guys who redshirted last year, so his time may have to wait.

i hope they go to 3-4 but use Follett like a Shawne Merriman or Mike Vrabel, have him blitz more often than not since he is by far the best pass rusher

Our DL sounds good! Any word on the incoming DL/DE and where they may fit in this year?

I gotta say the prospect of Cal’s young d-line is frightening. There is just so much talent there waiting to break out. With Cal’s LB corps even a decent d-line can cause a lot of trouble.

Going to the 3-4 will depend on how healthy derrick hill gets, otherwise cal will need to have 4 bodies in the line.

Any indication if Rulon will be on the left or right end? It seemed like he lined up left last year, right? but most teams place their speed rusher on the defensive-right to be on the QBs blind side.

I hope they stick with the 3-4. If they do, they’ll have a deep rotation at defensive line keeping them fresh and they’ll get to showcase the speed of their linebackers. It really makes perfect sense.
