SEC Position Rankings: Defensive Line

quote:
1. South Carolina

5. Ole Miss
6. Alabama
7. Vanderbilt
8. Kentucky
9. Georgia
10. Mississippi State
11. Missouri
12. Tennessee
13. Auburn
14. Texas A&M: The Aggies lost quality starters like Damontre Moore and Spencer Nealy and the injury bug devastated this unit during the spring. No one will replace Moore's 21 tackles for loss and 12.5 sacks, but A&M needs multiple guys to step up. Julien Obioha started 12 games as a true freshman last year, but has to stay healthy this fall, as he's the key to the entire line. He also has to generate a better pass rush. Tackle Kirby Ennis started 11 games last year, but ran into legal trouble before spring practice and was suspended, but is expected to return. Youngsters Alonzo Williams, Tyrone Taylor and Tyrell Taylor will be thrown into the mix this fall, but expect plenty of growing pains. Gavin Stansbury and Alonzo Williams have showed flashes here and there, but will have to much more consistent this fall.

So...expect a lot of shootouts?
ETA: I don't agree with these rankings at all.

Most of us know you're going to crash and burn this year. The other thread is just to keep you guys talking.

Expect your rush defense to be very poor.

A&M had a defense good enough to be able to out score opponents last year. That won't be the case this year.
Losses to bama, lsu, and ole miss wouldn't surprise me at all
Then again, with bama coming to town early they could just break aggie's will with a harsh reality check and the confidence may never return causing losses that shouldn't happen

Sumlin needs to stop hanging out with Usher and go recruit some big time dlinemen.

SEC Position Rankings: Defensive Line
1. South Carolina
2. Florida
3. Arkansas
4. LSU
This is why LSU will win at least 10 games again this year. LSU lost 3 starters on the DLine and they are still ranked the #4 unit in the SEC. The LBs and DBs will be better this year than last year and the DLine is full of young talent that got lots of playing time last year.
The DLine is LSU's weakest defensive unit going into Fall camp regarding experience and was the one most hit by the early defections. Still, it is ranked #4. Think on that for a minute.
Add that to 9 starters returning on offense, a 5th year senior QB who is in his second year of starting, a couple of big, fast WRs coming in, and Cam Cameron as the OC and I really do not think that LSU is going to fall off the map like everyone here is hoping/predicting.

Damn, Alabama is lower than I thought. Of course the value of 3-4 down linemen isn't that of those in a 4-3, but still.

I'm just glad Auburn's not ranked last in something. 
Posted on 7/8/13 at 11:33 am to KaiserSoze99
I'm aight with winning games 56-45 
That being said, aside from the Bama and LSU games I think we all know most of A&M's games will look like they did last year. Our offense just demoralizes anyone without a great defense. Theoretically there is no reason why we should have held OU to 13 points, but our offense just crushed their spirit.

You gon get your asses run'd on.

How is LSU 4th? We lost almost everyone. I mean, I wasn't terribly worried about the Dline since we've just reloaded there for about 10 years in a row but I assumed we would be lower than 4th.

Never mind, just saw the other thread.

I am no bama fan but there is no way these rankings are correct _ Bama is in the top 3 D Lines

A&M shouldn't be cocky because y'all went 1-2 against the good teams you played and lost all your good defensive players. a&M hasn't recruited good enough to reload.

you are a freaking pussy Kaiser.

We have the same problem but magically a undersized NG is now supposed to be an asset.
