What Clemson Defensive Players You Are Most Anxious To See?


Jun 4, 2014, 1:47 PM

For me its Alexander, Tankersley, O'Daniel, Steward,
Rogers, and last but not least The Hawaiian Hulk Pagano

Alexander...want to see if he lives up to the hype. Hoping


Jun 4, 2014, 1:48 PM

he is another Justin Miller.

I Hope He Is Better Than Justin Miller ----

We need more quick strike pick-n-scores from the defense

I'm looking forward to seeing Shaq Lawson in his 2nd year. Kid is an animal!

I hope he is better than any CB in the history of football,


Jun 4, 2014, 3:36 PM [ in reply to I Hope He Is Better Than Justin Miller ---- ]

but I'll be very pleased if he's as good as Justin Miller.

Yeah, Miller was a 3* stud for Clemson.


Jun 5, 2014, 8:53 AM

He had an amazing RSFreshman season. Especially considering the fact that he was not a stater at the beginning of the season.

Miller got burned a lot at that position in his early years. Now as a KO return man - NOBODY touched Miller. I wish we could have had him 1 more year.

I expect Alexander in his FIRST YEAR to be better than Miller in his LAST YEAR at that position.

Toss up between Alexander and Steward.

Alexander from the new guys but I wanna see the LB's as a whole. Also wanna see if kearse has taken the necessary steps to become a big time safety.

Re: What Clemson Defensive Players You Are Most Anxious To See?


Jun 4, 2014, 3:02 PM

I'm excited to see a lot of them... Shaq and Barnes, Tony, Alexander.

My vote for break out is Blanks. I think he will be freed up enough and get enough chances to have a huge year. Kearse too, but I expect Blanks to really bring the pain!

Jun 4, 2014, 3:27 PM

Pretty much the same for me too. I can't wait to see Alexander and Lawson. I think Lawson is our most underrated D-lineman out of the studs. I can't wait to see Ben Boulaware lay the wood! He looked like a beast in the Under Armour game a couple years ago. I remember Herm Edwards said he was the player that made the biggest impression on him.

I am anxious to see Beasley this season. I want to see how much he improves against the running game. I think that if he can significantly increase his game in that area, then we could all be talking about Vic beoming the number one overall pick in next years draft. I feel that he will once again dominate the passing portion to the tune of 15+ sacks this upcoming season.

I am really excited to see Tony Steward and see if his knees will let his instincts on the feild take over. If there were ever a guy deserving of a chance to be healthy enough to show just how special his skills are on a football field, it is Steward in my opinion. Battling back from freak misfortune, Tony has never given up. I see this guy racking up 80+ tackles, 5-6 sacks and perhaps opening a door to be drafted in next years draft.

Alexander will be a joy to watch for me this coming season. It will be the first time in quite some time that we will be able to see a true lockdown corner completely take away half of the football field for the Tigers. I can see a pick 6, or two, in this guys near future. With Travis Blanks moving back to the nickle position in which he excelled durimg his freshman seaon and Kearse at safety, the Tiger secondary might become a qb's graveyard of sorts. Where their passes go to die and into the arms of young, hungry Tigers. That is if they can survive long enough to not become a qb tombstone in their offensive backfeild thanks to the dominate defensive front.

As far as offense, i am really keyed up to see Cole Stoudt. This kid might shock a lot of people this seaon, including Tiger fans. Stoudt has all the tools to get the job done. He is a really smart qb as well. It's in his bloodlines. Cole is a very accurate passer, as his 70% completion rate as a backup last season suggests. If Cole can complete 70% of his passes as a starter, then we Tiger fans are in for a very special season. Cole has been very accurate and hasnt been int prone up to this point in his career. One reason might be because he isn't afraid to check the ball down. Well, the Tigers have enough playmakers to take a checkdown and turn it into a checkout and see you in the endzone. I can see 20-25 tds, single digit ints and roughly 3,000 yards from Cole this year.

Wayne Gallman. Wrecking machine. This could be the running back who puts the weight of tough short yardage situations on his shoulders and carries the Tigers. This guy will be a force on any down with the ball in his hands. Im going to start a count from game one to see how many defenders he runs through or over. I have a feeling it's going to be a rather large number, as will his rushing totals for the season.

Peake. The last of the mighty wideout four horseman of the Chad Morris offensive apocalypse. He needs a big year this seaon. He will get that indeed, health permitting. I can see Cole going to Peake early and often. I am interested in what kind of draft postion Peake will fall into with 75 receptions for 1,100 yards and 11 tds. second round?

grade. Coming in with the best recruiting class ever, and the best era of Clemson football since the Ford era. It is almost too much to absorb it is so exceptional.

In no particular order,


Jun 4, 2014, 5:06 PM

Kearse
Steward
Alexander
Boulware

Possibly my favorite player is Grady Jarrett, so obviously I'm excited to see him play. However, between Grady, Crawford, and Beasley, I'm excited to watch our entire front 4 wreck havoc this season....espescially August 30th against a first year starter between the hedges.

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Somehow I forgot Lawson when talking about the front 4.


Jun 4, 2014, 5:12 PM

Not a man to take lightly, much less forget to mention. My bad big man. Help make our D-line what we all know it can be....the best in CFB.

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


I'm anxious to see the one that is sacking

Do we have a weak spot on our Defense?


Jun 5, 2014, 1:22 AM

Seriously? I know it will not be the front 7. Secondary should be much better. Where is the weak spot?

Re: Do we have a weak spot on our Defense?


Jun 5, 2014, 7:12 AM

The less strong area - not weak by any means is the secondary. Safeties would be the most noticeable because of youth and depth.

null


Re: Do we have a weak spot on our Defense?


Jun 5, 2014, 8:22 AM

I've always thought blanks and kearse would be a nice tandem at safety. Hard to keep Robert smith off the field, but I've never been confident in his pass defense deep down the field against bigger recievers. I think he could be great up in the box and around the flats, but Venables makes a whole lot of money and makes great decisions for this team so I trust what he does

BJ Goodson

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Cordrea, Mac, and Tony - agree


Jun 5, 2014, 6:11 AM

But also hoping BJ Goodson gets some quality PT. Love that kid.

I hope Kearse gets his sh8t together also - looked pretty sloppy in the Orange other than his nice pick.

Many other 'stars', but these are the ones I am most anxious to see perform at a very high level.

Spot the ball.
