Falcons Have Their Own Expansion Plan

The Blade has a little preview today of the Falcons heading into the Media Day, which is tomorrow at Ford Field.  Most of it is pretty predictable--losing and replacing key players.

Here was the most interesting paragraph:

Also, what a difference a year has made training in the Falcons system for a pair of sophomores; defensive tackle Jordon Roussos and Schilz. Roussos, who stands 6-foot-4, entered BGSU as a freshman weighing 255 pounds and has bulked up to 294 pounds. Schilz, who arrived at BGSU as an incoming freshman from California weighing 184 pounds, has gained 28 pounds in the past year and is up to 212 pounds.
This is interesting, especially for Roussos and the D-Line.  Our line was designed to be quick and small under previous regimes, and that lead to us getting pushed around a lot by the running game.  It is nice to see us adding some size along the line to help eat up some blocks and protect our linebackers.
