This D next year will be SALTY. Already is but next year they'll be that much better.
Most likely, this is true.
D-Line gets a MAJOR boost with Tuttle, McKenzie, Butcher, Ford, Picou coming in, and even better if Phillips jumps on board. Jackson, people are talking about moving to OT, but let's be real. Kid's a DE. Not to mention with Barnett playing well, we'll be just fine there.
LB MAY take a step back. Depends on how well Bates recovers, how well Bryant is using his redshirt year, and how good Cecil Cherry is. Losing A.J. hurts though, no matter how you slice it.
DB will definitely improve. Losing Coleman really is the best player to lose if we must, and with the Berry brothers having more time in the system, Kelly getting better, Gaulden getting better, and then us bringing in Griffin at Safety, and potentially other CBs like Abernathy and Martin, we should be better there. Our pass defense has been stellar. Of course, the obvious is, Sutton will be back.
Our defense should be improved next year, you're right.
:good!:
I would hope that would be the case. The O side is not ready for prime time. But I am seeing a HC that is too loyal and stuck in his own offensive system to make the necessary changes. Truly hope I am wrong.
Blair isn't playing because he sucks. Period. He is a total bust. The whole point of a JUCO player is to have an instant impact. Nobody goes that route with the intent to redshirt the player.
CBJ has spoken ad nauseam about the need to build depth. He went so far as to say the top OL recruit in the nation this past cycle was RS. To say Blair is a bust is simply not true...at this point.
We have the worst OL I've ever seen, and he can't play... And he was brought in to start... Pretty obvious.. Too many excuses In here. Woody Quinn, R. Jones situation herePeople need to understand not every JUCO player is CP. not every one of them work out immediately. Blair cannot be considered a bust yet. Now if he doesn't start next year then he will be a bust.

No No No. He has the ability. It is there. He came in out of shape bad. Having Blair at LT for us next year is critical. Perfect world...
LT- Blair
LG- Jackson
C- Crowder/Thomas
RG- Kerbyson
RT- Jones/ any OT recruit
RS- Thomas, RObertson, Boulware, and Hall if really want to get picky..

You take a JUCO player to come in and make an immediate impact. If they have to come in and redshirt for a year then why not take a HS player? They get to redshirt and then still have 4 years of eligibility instead of 2. JUCOs should be expected to fill in as a starter when they show up.
