re: Which defensive units do you see being better/worse in 2014? A-Day thoughts

I'm almost ready to say that our secondary will be better than it was last year

Maybe. Right now here is my ideal lineup, based off of A-Day and the Spring as a whole.

DE: Jon Allen or Jarran Reed
NG: Jarran Reed or Brandon Ivory
DE: A'Shawn Robinson
JLB: Xzavier Dickson or Tim Williams
WLB: Reggie Ragland
MLB: Trey DePriest
SLB: Dillon Lee or Denzel Devall
CB: Tony Brown
CB: Bradley Sylve (assuming Eddie can't play vs WVU)
FS: Geno Smith
SS: Landon Collins
Star: Jarrick Williams
Money: Hootie Jones

We're gonna use like, the entire three deep on the D-Line. I really wouldn't mind seeing Hootie step up and take the SS spot and let LC play Free, which would put Geno at Star and Jarrick at Money. I feel like we're gonna need to play out Corners one on one a lot this year, they need to be able to do it. If we had to play single high, I'd want LC to be the deep Safety.

Jon Allen is gonna be hard to keep off the field. If Reed could learn to play Nose, we could get him and Allen on the field together more. Ivory is too soft to be a dominant Nose anyway.
