David Hale - ACC Site

[thinkkaz]

David Hale, who covers the ACC for ESPN is breaking down the ACC on his own personal website. A lot of good content that I thought people would enjoy. He's breaking down positions in the ACC currently. Thought I'd share for the dog days of summer.

Must warn you though, it's a little depressing seeing how good our defense was last year only to be squandered away by an abysmal offense.

Hale is one of the best. Always read his content, it’ll make you smarter.

So we have the top LB and Secondary in the conference according to Hale. He also has our OL 8th, which if average happens I think we all believe we are in line for good things.

QB and OL will certainly define our season at least on paper. Our defense should still be great and our playmaklers are well above average in each regard...but how we protect the QB and how well that QB plays his position will certainly make or break us.....Lawrence at Clemson is going to carry that team offensively, because their defense is going to give up points this year hands down.

Interesting how our OL has been bad for so long despite coaching changes. I hope Butch breaks the cycle

I think that the analyists have, for whatever reason, underestimated the true talent we have at QB . . .

Interesting stat about the pass blocking last year.

When it comes to pass blocking, Clemson was elite, but North Carolina, Miami and Boston College weren’t far off. Problem is, UNC, Miami and BC were average or bad at run blocking last year.

Butch Davis will fix it.

He is the Butch we are talking about right?

Right?

The most interesting line to me:

Miami returns Trajan Bandy, one of the most underappreciated corners in the country...

He really does get the job done and you don't hear much about him.

It’s in the OP.

We have looked AWFUL.

Let them sleep.

Sweeter wins on the field and bigger paydays at the bookie.
