Let's get ahead of ourselves - Defense 2014

Man we are so desperate at DT. Sure we have the bodies but we really need to pray that the young guys develop. I feel fine with Pierre but that other DT spot is a crap shoot as it stands right now.

a 3-4 pass rush would look like this though...

Bond/Thomas/T.Williams
J. Hamilton
any DT at the nose
Chick
Fig/McCord/AQM

and behind them Denzel and EJ/Grace

Lu, what do you anticipate being the OL?

LT Flowers/Sonny O./Kerr/Mcdermottbrother
LG Feliciano/Kirkland
C Mcdermott/Gall
RG Isadora/Gall
RT Bunche/Gadbois/Darling

Biggest hole is, quite clearly, that swing tackle spot. Someone needs to develop and quickly. Bunche can backup LT. And Feliciano can kick out to RT in a pinch. Kirkland and Gall need to develop quickly. They'll both highly contribute in their 2nd years in College (earlier than I like).

Really wish we Avery Young came to CG. Would have fit in perfect at RT in this scenario and moved Bunche to swing tackle which would have been huge for depth. How is Gadbois up-side? A future JAG?
 
No question that there is POTENTIAL for a great team to come together IF we get the 2013 class. That is obviously the key. Juco's could come in and fill DT spots but we need this class to come together. If it does we should be pretty sick on offense, special in the secondary, solid on LB, and potentially good to solid on dline. good posts btw

We have some youth at DT right now, but agree we need some kids to develop at that position or the defense is still going to get gashed.
 
I just want the d to not get beatdown every week and get some mother****ing heat on the qb. Dorito's defense has to get better by his 3rd year right?

this is what many of us having been preaching for a long time. and the reality is that you need more than two quality DTs to have a strong front, bc one of the keys to a successful defense is rotating fresh bodies along the def line all game long.
 
Our D-coordinator aka "The King Maker" will have a say in ruining the potential of this defensive lineup

Man ain't nobody beating out a jr Eddie Johnson.

This was the only part I had a problem with... Eddie Johnson as a JR is a ready NFL caliber LB... but he did say if he is not here as well, I fully expect him to be here... AG knows he needs a bad *** like EJ... I think Blue will be a beast as well and it will be Kirby's spot to lose.

this is how I see it in a 4-3 def:

WLB Denzel Perryman (Senior)/Jermaine Grace (RS Frosh or Sophomore)
MLB Raphael Kirby (Junior)/Jawand Blue (RS Sophomore)
SSLB Eddie Johnson (RS Junior)/Matthew Thomas (Sophomore)

CB Tracy Howard (Junior)/Antonio Crawford (Junior)
FS Deon Bush (Junior)/Burns (Sophomore - still think he plays corner, though)
SS Rayshawn Jenkins (Junior)/Jamal Carter (RS Freshman or Sophomore)
CB Ladarius Gunter (Senior)/Larry Hope (RS Sophomore)/
SLOT CB Nate Dortch (RS Sophomore)

The DLine will change too much... we wont know

EJ is his own worst enemy . He is not going anywhere should he stay focused. that kid has the goods period.!!
