Indeed. Eguae and Lemon-slice (Just noticed Nosa wasn't on the top 10 SEC DEs list by ESPN, wtf), Wright, Carter, etc on the inside.


Dee Ford is a beast also.

If Ford stays healthy this year, watch out. He will be the best DE in the league this season, IMO

They worked in 2010. Hence why we kept running them last year.


The screens worked in 10' because Terrell Zachery and Kodi Burns were outstanding blocking on the edges. It was just sad last year watching Reed & company try to block for Blake on those bubble screens.

This is probably true.

Probably not true. We're pretty deep on the DL right now. I'd be very surprised if any DL signees we get this year start in 2013. They might get some PT, but they wouldn't start. You have to be either A. absolutely phenomenal one of a kind talent, or b. going to a team that's very thin at that position to start on an SEC team's DL as a true freshman.

Foster would be the only one that might be able to start, but I still don't think he'd actually be named the starter. He'll play a lot, but not actually get the start. A lot of that depends on how Holland and McKinzey do this year, and maybe even Landrum, but again, even with how good he is right now, I'd be surprised if he was the clear cut starter.

Nosa regressed last season. Dude is never going to be a dominate type DE. He is solid but not top 10 material.

I've been saying the same thing. I think Ford is our best pass rusher.

Foster needs to get healthy this year, even when he was committed to Bama his health worried me, nagging knee injuries aren't anything good, especially when the bones start rubbing together like they are in his knee.

Intrested to see how Owens looks at DE this year. He played pretty well last season when healthy.

You're really trying hard to spin this as much as possible, aren't you?

How is stating a fact trying to spin something?

I wouldn't say he regressed, but he's never been a top 10 in the conference player. He's a solid player, but he's not great, imo. Good run stopper and decent pass rusher. Smart kid though and he seems to be taking on a leadership role, which is very important for this team this year.

This is true, although Foster and Lawson would make a push as freshmen.

He might not even start if what we're hearing about Ford is true. He's a solid player, and a good guy, but from a talent standpoint we have 4-5 ends that are "better."

So, who wants to send me that email about the double secret visitor? I figured I'd just wait it out, but now I kinda want to see it.

Someone let me know and I'll post my email. I'd prefer to have it up on here for as little time as possible.
