Nothing on there bothers me except "Luther Robinson OR Curtis Porter"
Everything else is whatever.

I can't get excited about a depth chart until we have a game in the immediate future. Otherwise, I don't see the value of being an off-season starter.

This defense really needs one of the JUCOs to step up and contribute. Kamalu and Bond should, hopefully, be able to displace King and Cain.
Maybe Robinson finally decided to stop blaming everyone but himself for not getting playing time and realizing too that this is his last chance to get noticed by the NFL. If Porter can stay healthy, it's a different defense. Pierre was starting to come on late last year too. I know Golden has to be fixated on getting some DT's who can actually get some pressure on the QB.

Reinforcements will be here in the summer except at DT.

the most disconcerting thing is Green's patched-together legs still starting on one side ... with an unspectacular Cain backing him up. Hopefully, one of the guys coming in over the summer can surprise like Figueroa. And speaking of Figuerora, what an awesome find, particularly with Thomas choosing FSU.

Downright scary to see them wheeling Green out there for starter reps.

I agree, I am really hoping for a **** near Duke type of impact from AQM when he gets there. I know that is asking a lot, but we desperately need some difference makers on defense.

Who would you have over taking Green at this point? Hoilett maybe? McCord is OLB, and AQM will be here in the summer. Personally I would like to see Bond and AQM at DE on passing downs and allow Green to play in 1st-2nd down situations.

And let's not forget this depth chart will change a ton when the new kids got here in the summer and is also motivation for some of the players to get their house in order.

Soemone posted a pic of him last week and he looked like he has put on good weight. My question is, did he straighten out his academics? We desperately need this kid this season.

If he's at 230-235, he's going to play a lot. Mccord played at around 215 last year.

Lu, how about a post spring look at what you think the defense will look like next year with growth from the current players and the incoming recruits?

So what do you think the chances of Bond coming in at DE? We already have McCord and Fig (Possibly even EJ) at SLB.
I know his frame wouldn't fit at DE long term (He's probably about maxed out) but god **** we need some pass rush next year.

In terms of scheme? I'm afraid to say I suspect it will look very similar from a scheme standpoint. I'd like to tell you that some of our DL grew into monsters and it'll make our defense look very different, but that's not true yet (at least post spring).
- You guys have seen the arguments about Pierre. I think he's a future NFLer. Others, whose opinions I respect (e.g. Larry), think less of him.
- Curtis Porter is basically the key to the defense, as crazy as that is to say given his injuries.
- Our DE situation is ******* scary bad. Hoilett needs to have the summer of his life. As has been discussed in another thread, if we're trotting out Shayon Green because he plays the system well (meaning he plays his lane and tech well), allow me to tell you a few tales about guys like Glen Cook.
- Another year goes by, we'll be "closer" as a team, but we'll somehow still depend on a True Frosh like AQM to come in at 235+ and make plays.
- I don't know what to say about Chickillo. I thought he needed to slim down in order to play the edge better, but I guess he's going in the other direction.
- The bottom line is that we're praying for someone to make a very surprising leap. That's never good.
Everything stems from the above. If the DL can't get in order, and I'm an opposing O-Coordinator, I simply spread us out with 3 and 4WR and run the ball with through zone-read or the like.

Kamalu has been referred to as an "incoming DT" so I expect him to get a look at both spots.

As bad as the DT recruiting has been, we should have around 9 guys that can play there.
Porter
Luther
Pierre
King
Moore
Ivery
Grimble
Kamalu

As you know, that's kind of the problem. Less dudes. More players.
