I'd rank the LB room ahead of the DB room.
Of course, it is not ideal to depend on true freshmen in the trenches. Skill positions are easier roles for freshmen to make an immediate impact. However, in this specific case, Jordan will be just fine.
Remember, we depended on Norton heavily as a true freshman. The high school coaches here in Jacksonville have stated that Jordan is the most dominate DT to come out of Jax in quite some time. Norton is from Jax, so that includes him as well. Norton had and incompetent D-line coach at Miami during his freshman year. Jordan will have Simpson.
I agree 100%. I may be proven wrong but I've got a very good feeling about Miller. He strikes me as a potentially special player. I think he comes in and makes an immediate impact. We're all familiar with the mantra about how hard it is for freshmen DTs to make an impact. Wouldn't it be something if we actually have 2 freshmen DTs that contribute right away? I can see Nesta and Miller doing just that and coach Simpson will be a big part of that. I also have a gut feeling that we hit a homerun with the Simpson hire. I'm very excited about the DL moving forward. Can't wait.Of course, it is not ideal to depend on true freshmen in the trenches.

there's def a numbers problem but it's funny that this board has adopted the stance that kool was some harmful recruiter given that between garvin, ford, and rousseau he identified local guys who appear to be very high end talents that were underrated by the recruiting services, which is also what this board is always complaining about our coaches not doing.
There were a lot of people that felt we would be fine and also felt that some were over reacting to the DT departures.Y’all laughed when I said We would be fine even with the departures on the dline months ago.
Rousseau was Diaz recruit.... Garvin was Kool, hit. Ford was Kool, jury is still out. Miller was entire staff. Nesta was Kool.Kool may be lazy/**** at recruiting, but he knows how to ******* pick them.
The guy we got all are looking like studs, every single one of them.
