Can't Help But Start a Thread When I Think About...

[TNHopeful505]

Next year's Defensive Line (very possibly):


DE - Derek Barnett
DT - Kahlil McKenzie
DT - Shy Tuttle
DE - Dewayne Hendrix
DE - Kyle Phillips
DE - Andrew Butcher
DT - Tim Settle
DT - Michael Sawyers
DE - Marques Ford
DE - Dylan Jackson
DT - Jashon Robertson
DT - Quay Picou
DE - Joe Henderson
DT - Owen Williams
DE - Jaylen Miller
DE - Jakob Johnson
DT - Danny O'Brien
DE - Curt Maggitt


I just see our DL being absolutely positively nasty very very soon.

And it's about darn time too. Looking forward to this DL group and the LB group and the WR group...

Heck, the whole program.

We are on the way back with depth like this!

Next year's Defensive Line (very possibly):

1st String:
DE - Derek Barnett
DT - Kahlil McKenzie
DT - Shy Tuttle
DE - Dewayne Hendrix

2nd String:
DE - Andrew Butcher
DT - Tim Settle
DT - Michael Sawyers
DE - Marques Ford

And of course, don't forget Jashon Robertson, Quay Picou, Joe Henderson, Owen Williams, Jaylen Miller, Jakob Johnson (assuming he stays there), Danny O'Brien, that are all thrown in there as well.

Of course, if Curt comes back too, he'll be in that mix also.

Looks like I missed a couple of commitments. Corey Vereen? Robertson is an offensive linemen. Don't count your chickens before they're hatched.

Can we get through this year first?

 

[rickyb712]

wow! next year

 

[Vol4life25]

If curt comes back next year, he will go back to LB, the only reason he's playing DE this year some is because depth issues.

So...this is an off season thread about speculation and discussion for NEXT year's off season?

Were getting strong at every position. The Wr's with a years experience and look who we add. The Te's with a years experience. The Ol will return intact with a lot of great new guys. The overall team looks like one that could get us back to ten wins. Look at the Rb's next season even though we lose Lane awesome bunch. Next year really looks like the year we explode into the top 15 in the nation.

 

[volinbama256]

yes, let's get through this season first with a bowl appearance and all your wishes should come true......

That's some mighty good depth on the DL. You could say the same in 2015 for the DB's, TE's, & RB's. Right now the greatest depth is at WR and that looks to be solid for years to come (with Williams and, hopefully, Van Jefferson). We could use some more depth at LB and we have some good ones coming in next year.

Where we still need help on depth is at OL and QB. Adding Robertson on the OL helps but we really need to close on Richmond and a couple of others. I think Jones, Stewart & Hall are going to be good ones. Looks like we have some excellent QB's, Dormady & Kendall (& don't forget Jennings), coming in the next couple of years but we'll just have to wait and see who emerges above the others there.

The cupboards are no longer bare and it will be great to have teams in the future where it's UNLIKELY FOR FRESHMEN TO START, NO MATTER WHAT THEY'RE RANKED COMING OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL.
