Bethel has played all season long and has been doing very well. Ford has looked pretty good for a guy who missed all offseason training with the team. I’ve said last year when healthy Gerald Willis was Miami’s most dominant dt last year and Pete echoed that sentiment once again this year a few weeks back. Silvera is arguably the best dt in the country yet he can’t be considered a high level guy? Come tf on...Where are the 4 high level DTs? How do you know nesta will be ready to play day 1? Is ford ready to go from barely playing to starter? Can bethel hold up inside?
Nesta isnt a high level college DT. He is a high level recruit. He hasnt taken a snap in college. You dont know if he will be ready day 1.
And you don’t know if he won’t be ready either. Kids come in all the time and take over positions. Joe Jackson did it, ed Oliver and Demarcus Lawrence last year.
Lawerence wasnt depended on to play day 1. He came in and was just so good they had to play him. The problem is we are depending on freshmen at a tough position like DT to come in and be good right away.
As a 4th option next year since Willis, bethel, ford will be established. I can see if you we were expecting him to start, that isn’t the case
