3 of 4 DL and your top 2 CBs? Is that correct?

It looks like a lot of production, but I haven't looked at the stats yet. May do so later.
quote:Absolutely. Our leading tackler last year was true freshman Skai Moore. We return everybody at LB including 2nd team All-SEC Sharrod Golightly at SPUR.
Is it safe to say your LBs will be the strength of the defense?

Yeah, I just checked your stats from last year. Looks like the LBs and safeties racked up the tackles. There was a substantial amount of the sacks and TFLs that left, but other than that, not as much production as I would have expected. While both CBs leaving had 3 INTs apiece, there were plenty of other guys with multiple INTs. The real test, I'm assuming, will be how free the LBs and safeties are to make plays behind the rebuilt DL.
