Depth at defensive line. Senior nose guard Lucas Patterson and sophomore defensive end Adren Dorsey looked good in Sunday's scrimmage, earning them more snaps Tuesday.
A&M has more depth on the defensive line since it has switched from a 4-3 alignment to a 3-4. "There is a lot more competition there, which is a good thing," Sherman said. "I think we're making some progress."
Sherman added that there's a couple players from the incoming fall class who should also help.
Sherman said he's read the riot act to all players at every position, that they better earn starting berths by the end of spring or he'll give that spot to a freshman in the fall.

Warren takes break from books. Former Bryan High and Texas A&M standout Ty Warren was at practice. Warren, who was selected to the New England Patriots' All-Decade team for the 2000s, is back in school to earn a degree in agriculture leadership and development. He plans to graduate next spring. Warren gave up a $250,000 bonus he would have earned by taking part in New England's offseason program to be in school. Warren was drafted by the Patriots in the first round (13th overall) in the 2003 NFL draft. He has played in 105 career games for the Patriots, making 92 starts. He has Super Bowl rings from 2003 and 2004.
