I am actually more excited about the defense then I am the offense. We will just lose Bush (Jenkins is a more then solid replacement), Kirby (Young or Shaq can step in here) , Kamalu (Jenkins or GWillis will lock this down) , and Hert (I think we are all excited about Norton).
But we will need a competent DC to not F it up of course.
Imagine if Butch hired a guy like Jim Leavitt to run the defense. My god that would be a scary *** 4-3 defense.
Here's what I wrote in the other thread:
If Elder and Burns stay at Corner, along with Grace staying in school to gain weight and max his draft status, I'd estimate you're looking at the 2nd most talented defense in the ACC, at worst:
DE AQM/Harris
DT Jenkins/Moten/Mcintosh
DT Norton/Willis
DE Thomas/Jackson
LB Grace/Mcray
LB Young/Smith (prob true frosh)
LB Owens/Gayot
CB Elder/Redwine
S Johnson
S Jenkins/Carter
CB Burns
Are you that down on Perry? I thought he was supposed to be a player. I would also keep Gayot behind Grace and put Gordinier behind Owens.
I agree that defense would be sick but I don't see both CBs staying and the depth behind them is severely suspect.
Haven't seen enough of him to really project anything. I like Gayot at either side - assuming he continues to pack on enough weight. If he continues to develop, and Grace stays*, I'd love to see those two together in Nickel Packages.
If either Corner leaves, we have problems. Redwine is likely to be very solid, but we honestly need at least 2 corners. Maybe it's time to consider JuCo.
