RayMac being injured is actually very big. This is where Tank and Dial will come in hopefully. Some fresh bodies, hopefully recovered, who can take on some snaps.

I'm really hoping Dial can be a similar type player to Red Bryant.

That'd be awesome. Similar body type now that Dial has reportedly gained ~40 lbs lol.
The way Seattle uses Bryant is unique. They play him at strong side end in a 4-man front. Strange for a man that big.

Yea they use him really aggressively too. They want him to burst off the snap and crash his gap. It's a gamble but leads to massive TFL's. He may not do that all the time but it's sometime I've notived.

That is strange. I always envisioned Bryant as 3-4 end or 4-3 tackle when he came out, similar to what I thought about Dial. Now that Dial has gotten up to 340-350, coupled with his height, I am very intriuged at the thought of him as a NT.

These injuries suck but there is no one better at coaching DL than Jimmy T
