12th game of the regular season is pretty lame. Other than that, everything else looks strong.

I think everyone is giddy right now, and just waiting for the season to start. Weaknesses, if any, will need to be discovered by opposing DC's. You're not an opposing DC are you? If so, we're not saying anything to help you.
JK - we're good. No weaknesses.

We are gonna be good and deep. But like another poster mentioned everyone else is working to get better too so it will be interesting to see how FSU progresses and then Alabama just puts new names in the same five star positions

Most has been mentioned multiple times but dB first string

Is going to be ridiculous if they stay healthy. Depth at dB is concern though we have some tremendously athletic freshmen that hopefully get some good playing time and will be playing like sophomores by November. The qb situation is going to be interesting to watch. Barring injuries our dL, linebackers, wrs, and rbs, are gonna be ridiculous. Our ol I will be anxious to see how we match up with the big uglies at the end of the year they shouldn’t struggle early

Special teams until proven otherwise.

I think we have the pieces this year to make some strides on ST but we've been consistently terrible in special teams efficiency for years now.
Also some depth issues at places like secondary and possibly OL.
Other than that, not really.

I would like to see better all around kicking.
Punts, kickoffs and FGs.
Also the last few years we have not had much of a return game on kickoffs or punts.
On D the only problem we have had recently is giving up a big play just about every game.
I just hope with the talent we have we look like a well oiled machine this season.

The right side of our OL is not proven.
RBs need to improve pass pro
We don't know how PR will be tho Rodgers is gonna be great imo.
A little thin at DB.
Huegel coming back from surgery is a ? tho Spence was pretty solid.
We need our tEs to step up.

An injury to KB is a serious problem

Regardless of talent and potential, experience is missing at QB.

Nah, all 3 QBs can navigate our regular season schedule.
By Championship time all 3 will have game experience.

Weaknesses is thinking we have no weaknesses. Play like the world is at our neck at all times and we will dominate. Also that Trevor don't already have the playbook memorized or there would be no questions at QB and I love Kelly B....LEGGO!!......GO TIGERS!!

In the idea of being realistic there is one area that will have to be proven in games and it involes KB. It is the ability to streatch the field vertically and until it is shown in games then yes it is a weakness. Given last year and the SG as a body of evidence you gotta have some trepidation when it comes to getting yards by the bunch with the downfield passing game.

Maybe KO return???
Aug 11, 2018, 11:49 AM
|

Strong team and depth for sure. I would like to see more threats on KO returns. Lots of weapons back there but I haven’t had that Spiller take it to the house on every KO excitement since then. The rule changes have affected that no doubt BUT I want to have that threat for real again.

I know a lot has been said about how people are worried about our secondary and the depth in particular, but I'm more worried about linebacker. We have two guys who can really run and play effectively against the elite teams, and that's Lamar and Joseph.
If our secondary depth was such a big issue, I don't think we would have ever moved Isiah Simmons to an outside linebacker position.

Simmons is a good fit for DO'Ds spot...

I thought he was better than Muse at S, but both of them playing is probably best considering the lack of experience back there.

It's hard to see any now, but a fee injuries in the secondary could have us counting on true freshmen.
I was glad to read that CBV has them doubling up on skel drills to maximize the reps each guy gets.

Secondary depth.
Aug 12, 2018, 6:20 AM

A couple of injuries there could mean shootouts, but a DL like ours can cover a lot of holes behind them so I'm not overly concerned.

DB depth comes to mind. We also need to find a TE who is a threat in the passing game.

If so, what are they? I can’t think of any. Can you ?
Average Oline. Thin secondary would become a weakness with a major injury. Average at one lineback position. No elite tight end. Trevor Lawrence hasn’t played in a real game; based off last year we are one dimensional on offense. Our punting game was average.
Worst case scenario—we go 10-3. Best case—win it all.

players, like Galloway, are still unable to practice. With his injury history over the past year plus, we really don't know whether he will play or red-shirt this year. Praying that we keep the injuries to a minimum, and the punting team off the field this year. You are right, though, there is an abundance to be excited about.

I don’t know about weaknesses, but I hope the are humble, practice and play like it’s their final game. We have some really good young men on this team and some really special leaders. Their is stiff competition, but they all support each other and buy in
