Chizik, Schoettmer talk defense
Posted Aug 21, 2015
Is there anyone on the defensive line who has really stepped up during training camp? Jeff Schoettmer: "Yeah for sure, Junior Gnonkonde, Nazair Jones, Jeremiah Clarke and Shakeel Rashad. Those guys, well the first three I mentioned are defensive lineman, have done a great job really elevating their game cause if we don’t have a defensive line then we don’t have a defense really."
