Charlie Partridge - Defensive Line Coach

[allenm5333]

I think you’re gonna see a way deeper DL this year where some of the younger guys who didn’t play much like Reiff could have a 3-4 sack year

I always want a WR corp that is like a basketball team with versatility. This year’s dl will be similar in the sense that we have so many dudes who can play roles. Run stuffers, 2 gappers, 1 gap shooters, speed rushers, edge setting des. Can see us going with odd and even fronts. What you need in 2026 and the 2027 national title

We will have 3rd string DT’s that could start on a lot of teams

Washington signed zero high school players who ended up starting on ND's interior DL.

I’ve been fairly critical of Washington so no need to get into all of that again. Great recruiter, very average coach. Because of that, I do believe we’ll see a significant uptick in development under Partridge. Young guys will get better faster.

Is Joe Reiff this years' Elijah Burress?

No but we should be blowing the top off of teams where the 3rd stringers should be in by middle of 3rd quarter

IIRC, that's what Bucks' fans were saying about him when he left there to come to ND. They weren't exactly upset when he left, much like we ND fans seem to be now. (I *think I'm not misremembering, but...)

Pretty much how they felt at the time. IMO, He did not do enough at ND, to change that perception.
