We lose Depriest and Dickson. Dickson to me became a DE more than anything for us this season and he got 8 sacks and did wonderful. Great way for him to go out. Since our MIKE is gone now, Ragland becomes MIKE

My prediction will be this:

SAM: Lee
MIKE: Ragland
WILL: Foster
JACK: Evans

I am hesitant to put Foster at WILL because he is going to break his neck and he needs to make reads but I think those are the best 4 we can field.

2nd scenario would be:

SAM: Devall
MIKE: Ragland
WILL: Lee
JACK: Evans

No knock on Devall or Anderson at all. I just think we need to use them to back Evans up and as DEs similar to Dickson this year. We play so much better and explosive when Evans is hauling arse around the field with Tim Williams. The way offenses are going these days too, he gives us the best chance to win and keep up speed wise.

There are other scenarios with Devall and Anderson in at Jack but I feel like those 2 are the most realistic.

I wouldn't mind playing Devall at Sam and Anderson at Jack when we play a 4-4 against arkansas and LSU.

Allen Robinson Reed Pettway
Anderson Ragland Foster Devall would be a hell of a run stop defense.

Keep it multiple of course like always but the way most of the SEC and nation are going is toward speed ball. Evans is the best speed LB in the nation.

Im with you broseph. I like Devall and Anderson at the Dickson DE spot as well. Would like to see Reuben get his shite together but Lee looks like the next best option at Will if Foster can't stay healthy and learn the defense.

Ragland will be the everydown alpha male for sho, but I would expect to see SDH push Reuben for the other spot.

Hopefully the light comes all the way on for Reuben because he could be downright nasty, but I think the trust aspect gives SDH as much of a shot as anybody after a year in the system.

This won't happen, but I think it would be interesting.

Sam: Devall and Foster
Mike: Ragland
Will: Lee or SDH
Jack: Evans

Foster is absolutely a rocket when rushing the QB, but he seems to have a bit of difficulty with some of the other aspects of being an ILB. What if we used him primarily as a pass rusher and diminished his role in coverage?

If Evans can get to the 240 or 250 pound range he will be an all american. Hamilton should see plenty of action at inside lb.

Looking a little thin atfor the inside backers next year.

Any candidates to help fill that void. Ragland, Foster and SDH are the only guys listed as being inside backers coming back next year.

Anyone in the 2015 class we are looking at? To flip?

Dillon Lee is a lock down tackler. I've watch him all year and he has missed zero tackles. LC is also this type of player. Truff

If Foster would learn to keep his head up and also react better in coverage, he'd be great. Guy is too talented to keep off the field.

Now that is a quality post. I'm really looking forward to seeing Evans play next year.
