Raphael Ieru Q&A / Defensive Rotation

Stephen Tsai has a Q&A with senior offensive guard Raphael Ieru. Here's an excerpt:
Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello ...
"Everybody thought (Teenage Ninja Turtles is) where my name came from. It came from my uncle in Seattle. He has a long Samoan name. In the middle is Lafaele, which means Raphael. That's where my mom got it."

He answers to Ralph:
"It makes me sound tough. Raphael is more formal. A lot of people call me Raf. They said it shouldn't be Ralph because I don't have an 'L' in my name. I didn't like Raf, either. I always told them to call me Ralph."
Tsai also has an update to the defensive depth chart.
Coach Greg McMackin today announced a revised depth chart. The Warriors will be going with a three-player rotation at defensive end, defensive tackle, cornerback and safety. The three at each position are considered to be starters.
So, entering training camp, the No. 1s are:
Defensive ends: Brashton Satele, Fetaiagogo (John) Fonoti, Elliott Purcell.
Defensive tackles: Tuika Tufaga, Rocky Savaiigaea, Vaughn Meatoga.
Cornerbacks: Tank Hopkins, Jeramy Bryant, Lametrius Davis.
Safeties: Mana Silva, Kenny Estes, Spencer Smith.
