Asked about defensive depth going against up tempo.

Feels better on Dline than last yr. More athletic, more experienced up front. Thin at LB and may rotate more in these kinds of games. More experience in 2ndary than a year ago. Feels these kind of teams put more pressure on perimeter, challenge for that group.

Asked about Sims/Coker both playing..

That decision hasn't been made yet. Already said everything that could be said about that.

Asked about Sylve and Cyrus

Both recruited to play corner, if wants to play something, allow them to play that. In both cases, both guys had success on offense. Both had opportunity and it's taken a yr for both to develop to defense to have knowledge and confidence. Both had really good camps. Mo Smith and Eddie Jackson both freshmen last year. Tony and Marlon got a lot of reps and will contribute this year. Cyrus has had a really good camp, done really well. Hope to carry over in game.

Asked about RB's.

Done a really good job. Had good camps. Henry and Yeldon more of inside downhill do it all runners, Drake is really good receiver and perimeter runner. All 3 will be involved in game and have significant contributions.

Another QB question about them not separating themselves yet..

Could say both are playing well and hard to choose.

things i found interesting:

Devall starting at Sam over Lee. to me, it says a lot about XD having a good camp.

Pettway and Allen both penciled in as starters. say your prayers Trickett

Hand must have really impressed to move up the depth chart that much.

No Brandon Greene anywhere in the 2 deep OL?

both Cyrus Jones and Nick Perry starting? step back from that ledge, my friends.

like that Reuben has learned both ILB spots

Sadly I see this...great thing SDH is way better than most of us expected...we may need him to have a Hightower like TF season & if Rueb goes down this group has 0 depth...not good to have to rely on such an injury prone player but maybe he will show better technique and stay off the trainers table this year.

This was the most interesting part of the PC. We've all been assuming that they'll both play and get equal snaps but may not be the case
