We are as good at DT as anyone in the SEC. You guys act like other teams are 6 solid at the position. Everyone in the SEC has questions about their 4th, 5th, 6th DT.

Who's rotation is significantly better than ours?

I'm agree with ya, they may have their top 4 but after that it's a mystery,

Boy, that Mizzou pass rush just not as intimidating as few years back.

John Brice wrote a pretty scathing article about how the university handled the Hart situation.

Doesn't strike me as a big deal if Blackburn is indeed the guy. He's younger and actually has UT ties. Would be an upgrade IMO.

Nah, don't think so. One, we are taking our 4 year old to her first game, and being that she's gonna hopefully be sitting still (relatively) for 3.5 hours during the game, we're probably gonna be getting around a lot throughout the day. And two, we're hoping to take 1-2 kids from church that are in school up there out to lunch.

What about you? I'd like to meet some of you guys sometime

Tuttle was gone for half the season, we gained Kongbo, and everyone else is better stronger and more experienced than last season. K-mack lost weight, Phillips, Mixon, Vereen,Picou are all back and better.... that is what I am saying...
Wait- you are actually saying we lost those games due to lack of elite SEC DT depth!? You lost me... off the reservation....:crazy:

Tuttle was gone half the season. He was still arguably our best DT and he is NOT back yet.

Kongbo is a DE.

Everyone should be stronger a year later. That's true.

Kmac losing weight is a nice fluff piece nugget for the fall. I think he will be better but him shedding some weight doesn't mean he is a Ndamukong Suh level DT all of the sudden.

Phillips, Mixon, Vereen all play defensive END not TACKLE.

And yes I think our DT play is a big reason we lost the UF and OU games. I'm not wrong either.

Sure there are other reasons. But the QB stepping up to avoid pressure off the end and then making us pay is a huge reason why we lost.

People keep using players from one position as reasons why we shouldn't be concerned about depth at another position.

If we were not thin at tackle, we wouldn't be sliding ends over to play tackle.

Jack Jones is not a tackle. The likelihood of one of the freshmen OL signees being able to play OT is very slim. DR and BK need to remain healthy and both need to be a lot better than they were a year ago. I'm sorry but that's the truth.

What did baloney do to you? He's trying to be nice, but you're making it hard.

I'm just picking at him. I was actually asking him how he was. I like Tony. I may be a little rough on him. I'll try and ease up a bit.

Who on our schedule is better/deeper at DT than us?

IF he's back by Florida, it's not as big of a deal imo. Yeah he will have missed some practice, but still.

Kongbo is big enough to play DT, there aren't many DT's more talented than KMac, Vickers has come on strong by all accounts, and O'brien is a valuable contributor.

You are freaking out. We are fine.
