Next year's starting defense
Oct 12, 2015, 7:26 AM
|
|
DE = Yeargin DT = Watkins DT = WIlkins/Pagano DE = ???? Huggins??? LB = Boulware LB = ODaniel LB = Wiggins CB = Tankersley S = Green S = Kearse (going pro??) CB = Fields/Baker
Just some random thoughts. WIll lose Dodd/Lawson to the pros, DT is solid, Mac has said he wants to stay another year but will he, and Kearse is probably ready for the pros as well??? Guys like Cervenka, Chad Smith redshirting and coming back, Rashaun Smith coming in hopefully, Johnson and Bryant providing depth, does one or both move to DE? LOTS of pieces here to the puzzle for BV. Nyles Pinkney avoid redshirt? Do we land Lawrence? Will Skalski, Lamar and Kelly be ready to contribute early? Who will continue the DE tradition? Barnes/Crawford/Beasley to Dodd/Lawson to ?????? Faith in the defensive staff, NO doubt. Inquiring minds just inquire. GO TIGERS!!!!!!!

Color me HAPPY if Dodd stays!!!!!!! Kearse and Lawson are also juniors but they will probably go. Mac is a redshirt sophomore, but eligible. If all THREE would stay, our defense would be #1 defense in the nations hands down next year, but I believe we have gotten to the point of reloading year after year, especially on defense. This year's defense is proof.

Lawson, Mac, and Kearse are all gone. I doubt Dodd is projected high enough so I think he stays.

He's ready and he's been through a lot. Time to make some money.

I think Dodd comes back, but if he doesn't, I would anticipate Austin Bryant starting at SDE.

I don't see albert huggins starting with the time he's getting this year. Also you seem to have forgotten Korin Wiggins who tore his acl. I also expect to lose at least one of Alexander/kearse/Lawson but hopefully we are able to keep two

and Joseph or someone new would likely take BJs spot

that's not Odaniel's position. Wiggins may drop t Safety if Kearse leaves and Blanks/Odaniel split time

You do know Odaniel is playing the same position that BJ played last year right ? Not like Odaniel couldn't change LB spots like BJ did this year .

the only reason BJ was moved over there some was Jones was

able to be SA's backup-- otherwise Goodson would have been. O'Daniel is 215-- I don't seeing him being able to move to MLB-- Goodson is about 240 I believe.

O'Daniel can play all 3 LB positions . Kid has the number one thing a LB needs and that's great instincts. Also has great speed so that would make up for his lack of weight if he couldn't gain weight . Shaq Thompson played all over the field for UW ILB,OLB,S,RB at 219 pounds and went 1st round last year .

I didn't know that asking about next years defense was actually "focusing" on it, just a topic for discussion that didn't include "that word", dabo's press, Mexicans or the coots.
