The Gator game is nine days away, so it’s time to go behind enemy lines. CanesInSight sat down with my longtime friend Eric Esteban, Vice President of Media Relations for Fox Sports, a veteran of Scout.com, the Alligator, the Miami Herald, ESPN.com, the Palm Beach Post, Fox Sports Florida, guest lecturer at the University of Florida journalism school, and expert on the Florida Gators.

Whoa. This guy is the prototypical Gator reporter. UF ranked 92nd in sacks with 22 last year, but good riddance to Princely who had roughly 1/3rd of the sack total on his own with 7? 104th in TFL. I mean I expect them to be better because getting worse is almost impossible.
 
That's interesting. This is the first time I'm reading such a positive perspective about UF's Edges.

Man that dude is a true homer. I don’t think Florida is a terrible team. But his takes were so off. UF pass rush is average. Shamar James is a great player at linebacker but Pup Howard will go into his first season season as a starter. There dbs are suspect af.

@DMoney did you happen to ask him for a prediction on their season? I’m good with the blind optimism but I’d love to know on record how deep it goes.

The way they talk about Pup Howard I thought he came over as an all SEC type. Looked it up and the guy didnt even start for South Carolina and had a total of only 19 tackles last year.

Your right, Shamar James is legit but not worried about the other LBs. I really wanted Wingo a few years back but he turned out to be hotdog water
