Kevin O’Connell Identifies a Sneaky Important Defensive Lineman

While reflecting on the James Lynch injury news, Kevin O’Connell pinpointed a depth defensive lineman capable of filling the gap.

Veteran journeyman Jonathan Bullard is that player, someone who earns the praise and admiration of the head coach. “We got a veteran in Bullard,” O’Connell notes, “who is always so rock-solid for us.” The coach goes on to note that Lynch is “versatile” and that’s part of his value, so the team is now looking for someone to “fill that particular role.”
