When you look at the current list of commitments Golden has solidified for the defensive front, i think his vision is to field a Defense that looks like the 49ers defense. They don't send blitz pressure often and they have long physical DLineman.
Without typing all of the names their DLineman the heights are as follows. I have included Aldon Smith since he's the primary edge rusher in their defense.
6'4 265 (Aldon Smith)
6'4 285
6'3 290
6'5 301
6'1 297 (Glen Dorsey)
6'5 318
6'4 273

Our current DL contributors
6'4 250 Gilbert
6'3 264 Green
6'4 275 Chick
6'1 300 Moore
6'6 320 renfrow
6'4 305 Pierre
6'3 303 Robinson
6'1 316 Porter
6'3 230-240 AQM/McCord
Now of all those guys listed (NOT including AQM/McCord.), Chick and Pierre are the only players who fit the mold that Golden is looking build. The other guys either don't have great length/Height or a too round (not to mention they are str8 up jags, but that has nothing to do with physical measurements). I think many would agree that Chick should be playing Inside on a majority of his snaps. But due to lack of depth he has to play DE mostly.
---Current Top DL Commitment List
Valentine 6'4 297
C. Thomas 6'4 250
A. Moten 6'4 279
D. Jackson 6'4 230
Chris Herdon listed a TE but might play DE 6'4 230
(we have some other 3* DEs and DT committed ranging between 6'2-6'3)
-----Now the first thing that jumps off of that list of top recruits is the size. Valentine and Moten don't have the college level strength that Chick has. But they are already as big as Chick while being 3 years younger. Chad Tomas will enter his freshman year of college bigger than Green and Gilbert, two of our top DL in terms of snaps played ---
I'm NOT giving Coach D a pass. I think that he needs to run his scheme because young guys like McCord, AQM,Tracy,Deon,Jenkins, etc. need to get use to executing it. BUT his gameday play calling has been suspect and IT needs to improve asap.
In Contrast for the ppl who say this denfense has talent? I've said it before, I just don't see it. Look at this future DL in 3 years vs. what we are rolling out now and it's not even close. Now in that future group someone has to become an Aldon Smith type player for it to work...But You tell which line you want for your canes.
