We lose 8 starters off defense after this year and 3

offensive linemen. I hate to see Watson have to outscore everyone for the next two years after this year. We need to take advantage of these great defensive players we have this year and run up 9 or 10 wins to close the regular season at 9-3 or 10-2. I hope he has a supporting cast for the next three years.

That's why we lined up in shotgun with 1 yard to get right?

Batson has made us way to soft just ask FSU Offensive and Defensive lines. We overpowered what was supposed to be the best Offensive line in the country with all 5 starters and a TE all being Seniors. 5 sacks and we should have had a few more including a Safety when Vic was tackled by the OT.

Yeah I wondered why that was not called holding in the end zone for safety. Then I remembered it was FSU. Think the right call there changes the outcome of the game?

Dabo and Chad will have finally graduated from the Clemson Coaching Academy, and be able to coach younger players not to make huge mistakes in clutch situations. The entire mental toughness of our team is going to turn around overnight. We're suddenly going to learn how to win, despite that massive loss of talent, and do what we couldn't do this year with a top five defense. Our new, inexperienced OL will provide the power rushing game Chad has been promising since he exited the womb.
We'll win the national championship game 55-52 on a 67 yard game winner from Ammon Lakip.
Then the sheer power of the rainbows shooting out of Dabo's ### will propel him to the promised land to be seated to the right of Jesus and watch over Clemson nation forever.
If you believe anything less, you're a ###### fan who should sell their tickets and start pulling for Georgia State.

I just don't see the experience that you speak of with the DL and LB....
Now maybe they can get some playing time this year and I will feel better.

Sep 22, 2014, 5:46 PM

Lawson has gotten a lot of meaningful snaps, and all the DTs have basically been interchangeable with the starters. LB concerns me a little bit, but at least the guys he listed have played a good bit.

Well let's look at it
Sep 22, 2014, 5:52 PM
[ in reply to You say "Experienced" ] |

DE-Dodd, DT-Watkins, DT-Reader, DE-Lawson
Backups-Byars, Pagano, Obi, Robinson, Rogers, Aiken, Yeargin, maybe Register
First 4 very experienced. Depth, not so much
SAM-Wiggins or Blanks, MIKE-Goodson, SAM-Boulware
Backups-Jones, Burrell, O'Daniel, Rogers, Joseph, maybe Register
Starters very experienced, Back ups more so here, but still young
So, starters plenty of experience but reserves will be young with not a lot of game experience

We are 3games deep into this season. A lot of blowouts upcoming on the schedule. Expect a lot of snaps for these younger guys moving forward.

[ in reply to You say "Experienced" ] |

The guys on the D-Line have all started or played significant minutes throughout the season.
The linebackers I listed have all played and have been in the 2 deeps the last 2 years.
Of course you don't have super experienced back ups, but most college teams don't. You know, because you lose players every 4 years.

If not starters, definitely the two deep. Wouldn't surprise me to see Register moved to defensive end should he fill out that frame he has.

You guys are quite entertaining - but somewhat repetitious. Pardon my absence while I go to the local pub and have a couple of brews and few laughs with all the chums.

Yep, or just teams with below average offenses

Although we lose a bunch of starters next year, they're going to be replaced by guys with a bunch of quality experience. Obviously Anthony and Steward will be big losses, but Boulware has played a lot and so have a few of the other guys. We'll be pretty young on the DL, but Lawson has played a good bit and so have the back-up DTs. The secondary most of the secondary players will be returning with experience, except for Robert Smith who I think we should be able to replace.

Reader and Watkins, two talented tackles. Our DL depth may be young, but our starters will not be.

as 9/5 is open right now. So I guess it depends on who. App St is 9/12. Other non conference games are Notre Dame on 10/3, SCU on 11/28, and Wofford TBA but probably before SCU

Beasley is the only starter and OG is not an issue. We finally bring in the stud OT, which one will more than likely start.

I assume those are the 3 though we'll have more than 2 guys returning that would have started games.
