I keep reading/hearing this, where exactly are they loaded?
QB - pretty good
RB - No Cook, big ?
WR - Murray looks real good, other than that, nothing great (Rudolph is decent)
OL - LOL
TE - Meh
DL - Very little to no pass rush
LB - Worse position on their team this year
DB - James is a star, Solid corners
Far from Loaded
If thats your assessment of them, Id love to read your breakdown of us.....
LSU is a bit aways on offense, while FSU outside of OL already has the pieces there.
Which is absolutely huge
Who, on offense, outside of Murray (assuming Cook leaves) would you consider a great player?
Who on defense, outside of James would you consider a great player?
Next year:
QB - FSU
RB - Miami
OL - push
wr - slight edge to FSU
TE - Miami
DL - Miami
LB - Miami
DB - FSU
Derwin James is gone this year, but they are stacked on defense. Demarcus Christmas and Josh Sweat are **** good along the DL, and Brian Burns is having a similar year to Joe Jackson as a true freshman. Marcus Lewis and T McFadden have looked great for only being sophomores, and Levontae Taylor is already on the field all the time as true freshman. You are outright selling them short here, but the OL is a major problem right now for them. The DL is a push and I don't see how you have RB as an advantage for us, our RBs disappear against good comp. I think we match up well on defense against them outside of the secondary, in fact I would be tempted to take our starters over theirs there, but they take us based on depth which we don't have yet anywhere outside the interior of the defensive line. Lastly their TEs are **** good right now, no doubt Njoku is the best of them all but their 2 guys are better than our other guys outside of Njoku.
Agree on Burns, good call there. No doubt their secondary is better, hence me giving them the advantage. But there's no way in **** the DL is a push. Norton/Mcintosh >>>>>> Nnadi/Christmas. Sweat is very overrated, he's completely under performed from what was expected. Miami's LB are far better as well.
Yes, their depth is much better.
You didnt read my post, I said that I would be tempted to take our starters over them and I meant that in our front 7. Still even then Mcintosh/Norton isn't a clear edge over Nnadi/Christmas. Christmas is playing the NT in that system and he isn't gonna rack up the numbers that either guys will in our more aggressive system. Now in regards to Sweat, he is only a true soph, like I said in my OP, if that was the posters breakdown of their players, I would love to see a breakdown of ours. Sweat came in as a true freshman recovering from a knee injury that many thought would have finished him. Bottom line is that they have studs everywhere, they recruit at a high level and continue to stack chips, especially at DL where Odell haggins has been doing his thing for a long minute. So in the end, while our DL has drastically improved, you are overrating them slightly while completely dismissing what FSU has in terms of talent. They have young talent all across the board, their problem right now is their DC, while LSU's problem is that they are a complete mess at the QB position. Jimbo is gonna stay.
