A&M is only replacing four full time starters (Nealy, Moore, Stewart and Porter) and one on and off starter in Terrell.

I know this is a troll thread and usually I'd steer clear but this is incorrect. These 4 all started (and probably all played 80%+ of plays) but Terrell started every game (and most of last year). Dustin Harris was also a starter down the stretch.

We've got some real work to do on the defensive side. But last offseason I thought our Dline was going to be a catastrophe and it came together. And our secondary started off the season really shaky and, especially with the ascendance of Howard Matthews, became surprisingly solid. I imagine we might be pleasantly surprised by some of the talent waiting in the wings (Baggs, Zo Williams, Polo, Raven) as well as some of the incoming talent

According to participation reports, Terrell started nine games, with Campbell starting one and Hurd starting five (between SS and FS). Down the stretch Matthews and Hurd were on the field as much if not more than Terrell. Terrell played only half the snaps in the CB.

Harris only started five games and talent wise was our fourth best corner. He started some down the stretch because Devante Harris refused to tackle and Otis Jacobs was pouting. Between Everett, Harris x2, Matthews, Hurd and the two nationally ranked corners and nationally ranked safety coming in we'll be better in the secondary. Terrell was an average talent who played above his head and Harris was a talented player who never really "got it". Even this year as a senior, he was constantly out of position.
