Arky - QB, wr, defense as whole.

BAllen looks good and has been clicking well with our new OC. Our new JUCO WR is athletically freakish, very fast and has great hands (standing broad jump of 11' 11", which is 3" short of the NFL combine record). Redshirt freshman 4* WR Jojo Robinson has been very impressive and would have played last year, but was injured in practice. So we have some good receivers who are new and our passing game should be improved.

Defensively, true freshman Ryan Pulley has been very impressive at CB and Jamario Bell was moved to LB. Depth is turning out to be even greater then expected on this side of the ball.

That's the word, anyhow.

TAMU break down of new defense. RB situation. Will Carson be more of a focus.

You hit the big 'un right away. Our D would be better even with Snyder still DC simply because all those freshman starters are now sophomores. I don't think anybody is expecting miracles yet, but just being respectable (say 50-60 range instead of 102nd total defense) we DO expect, and that will be a big improvement. CB is a concern. LB too, but less so.

Tra Carson and James White (possibly Kendall Bussey if either of those are injured) should see much more action this year. As big as the John Chavis hire was, I'm just as pumped about bringing in Dave Christensen (OL and run-game coordinator).

Other than CB A&M's biggest problem is the head-case kicker. I can see us losing close games because of this. We do have an incoming freshman who is supposed to be pretty good, but I don't think he'll get a shot until Bertolet blows a game.
