I'm thinking they'll go with someone bigger like Gooden, Johnson, or Emerson along with Tuttle and Phillips. I wouldn't be surprised if Tuttle gets some looks at DE if one of those 3 can play NG either.

Any news on Garland? He is huge, think he will contribute at all along the Defensive line this year?

I don't think Emerson will be ready as a freshman and after that injury. Hope he is, but if he is not, I'm all for a redshirt year. Now Gooden, we will just have to wait and see. Johnson could be an OLB in the 3-4, unless he has put on more weight. Butler should be ready right now, body-wise. I really think Butler will have a great chance to sneak in and earn a starting spot. Maybe even be a 40+ tackles and 10 sack guy. Of course, I've been wrong many times before, but I think this kid has "it"

No idea on Garland. Haven't read anything about him. Roster lists him at 6'3 275.

If one of the DL who just got to campus makes much of a push this fall, I'm thinking maybe it will be Mincey. Harris is already our heaviest DL too at 316, so he may have a shot at contributing. No way to tell until camp starts, though.

Yeah I think ideally we'd be able to take Emerson along slowly and maybe give him a RS. We may just not have that option, though. Also, FTR, I meant Alexis Johnson, not Deandre Johnson. He's listed at 314 now. I've got high hopes for Gooden, but yeah we probably need to see what he does once he gets in pads.

I don't see Butler putting up those kind of numbers. I'm not really sure any of our DL guys are in position to have a to sack year like that. We'll see what the coaches do at DE opposite Phillips. It may vary by opponent and we'll be using sub packages so much who knows how often we'll look exactly like our base 3-4 front anyway. I think they'll go with a bigger body there, but that's guesswork on my part.

Man, I forgot about Alexis Johnson. Seems like he has been here forever, for a juco. But, yeah, I could see him starting the first couple of games. Still think Butler has the most potential, tho. Gooden is the mystery man to me. I can see him coming in and being a beast or a bust. Hopefully, the former

Thanks. I missed that. Always thought, Crosby would be the perfect NT, but the coaches know a lot more than me. I guess with the way he moves at 300+ pounds would make a great pulling guard

Not to dwell on the past but Butch Jones had good teams in 2014 and 2015. Things were looking up.

What the **** happened in the 2015 off season leading up to 2016?
