Players Returning (delima)


Oct 2, 2016, 4:26 PM

I would just like to say how awesome it is that we won last night without Renfrow, Bryant, Adrian Bakers, or Jalen Williams! On a second note, will the defense be better when Bryant comes back? Assuming he'll start right away at DE, that would push Wilkins back inside, and send D Law to the bench. Is this for better or for worse?

D Law ain't going to the bench -

So you really think that Carlos Watkins or Wilkins would go to the bench?

You do understand that the d linemen rotate all the time, right?

They may rotate but starting players play more than backups. It's simple football

I guess you either don't watch a lot of clemson football or either you don't understand how Clemson plays defense. The starters may play a few more plays, but Clemson rotates it's d line to where the snaps are almost equal for everyone. This keeps the linemen fresh all game long. That's why we recruit so many good d lineman.

No actually the opposite. I took the liberty on getting the snap counts for d lineman for the competitive games this year before Louisville (Auburn, Troy, Georgia Tech) and it appears you might want to tune into some more games. In those 3 games, the starters, Christian Wilkins has totaled 165 snaps, Carlos Watkins has 137 snaps, Clelin Ferrell has 155 snaps, and Dexter Lawrence has 118 snaps. For the key backups, Chris Register has 37 snaps, Albert Huggins has 31 snaps, and Richard Yeargin has 57 snaps. Those snaps don't seem "almost equal" to me. Clemson plays this Friday at 7:30 ET against Boston College on ESPN if you're interested in watching.

Bridge, demanding you answer his questions three before he lets yee pass......

Getting Bryant back is going to make us even better. Can't wait!!

It will make sure all those guys have fresh legs everyone wins. We can only get better with Bryant back

Plenty of snaps for all the DL. We really could've used another body


Oct 2, 2016, 4:32 PM

last night. Our DL was gassed by the 2nd half.

With the flexibility of Wilkins playing both DE/DT


Oct 2, 2016, 6:47 PM

You can take away 3-5 snaps of every DL that have been playing and give them to Bryant.
