what do you wanna know? i'll shed some light where i can.
btw, you're right about the o-line. muschamp is saying this may be the best o-line he's had (which isn't saying much) and think he has 8 possible starters. i'm real excited to have humphries taking over the left side, dude moves like a tight end.
Yeah i just would like to hear your view of the defense b/c i may be wearing the orange and green glasses w/ my thoughts on the different position groups on that side of the ball....
Besides Antonio Morrison is there any other LBs that i just havent seen enough of yet but is making noise???
.... and What about the safety position??? I said it looked suspect but there are a lot of young talent back there. It definitely looks better then Miami's safety group at the moment but whats ur opinion about that position???
the linebacker group is going to be the weakest link of the defense by far. outside of morrison and the true freshmen, nobody else really impressed me. mcmillan is looking like he'll be a balla as does anzalone, but they're still true freshmen. taylor, kitchens, and those other guys are just average.
the good thing is that the d-line will be elite and we have 3 legit shutdown corners and coaches are saying heargraves can compete with any of the top 3, so our secondary is gonna be legit as far as covering goes. at safety its looking like the starters will be jabari gorman and cody riggs with poole and maye backing them up. although it really doesn't matter because in muschamp's scheme he likes for the db's to be able to play every position. if you watch uf you'll even notice purifoy and roberson playing safety and they are two of the best corners in the nation. **** watkins has started 4 games at safety and he's a corner and has played the field corner, the boundary corner, and both safety spots. poole has played corner too for example, he likes the unit to be very interchangeable which makes the d more flexible. so like i said the good thing is that the weak areas of the defense are surounded by elite talent everywhere else which allows you to kind of send help as necessary.
i see the defense being a top 25 unit early in the season. by the end of the year i think they'll be top 10 easily but not right away.
I think you should rephrase your adjectives to "elite and legit lockdown corners according to gator fanatics."
Purifoy is very good. Watkins is average to good. I don't even know who your other one is. Riggs? He's far from lockdown.
Hargreaves is a freshman, and we all know what happens to even the most talented freshman cornerbacks. They get toasted repeatedly.
Your safeties are average and inexperienced. They may turn out to be great in a year or two, but right now, they are a weak link.
Fowler at d end is a player with legit pass rush skills, but he doesn't look like he can seal the edge with Flowers or Seantrel driving him 10 yards deep. Bullard is a run stopping d end and only a gator fan would call him outstanding. He is good. That's it.
I can't remember who your NT is.
Your lb's are average to good college players and are undersized and inexperienced. We know from personnel experience what happens when you have those combinations.
And this is the strength of your team?
