re: Malik Zaire on UF's offense

Offense better be good, because other SEC coaches think your D will be trash this year.

“They’re going to drop off on defense. It’s kind of an obvious thing to say, but they’re losing a lot of players who played a lot of football."

"The linebackers don’t scare you at all."

"They’ve recruited well on defense, but not great."

"Marcell Harris (now out for the 2017 season) has turned into a good player. He’s long, physical, gets guys on the ground and he’s grown up a lot, but he doesn’t frighten you like Keanu Neal roaming in the back end."

"They’ll have to invent some things to rush the passer this year, and I’m not sure if they can because Randy Shannon likes to keep things simple. It’s a lot of pieces to replace, and the biggest thing they won’t be able to do is just rush four every time. When we played them, I think they blitzed us three times, and they could do that because they could just whip you with the front four and they can’t do that anymore."

This above is why I don't see why anyone on here thinks Florida will win the East again.

This may be why Zaire thinks the O is awesome, however. They are playing against a shite D in practice, even going 1's vs 1's.
