If we get Trevon and that DT from UCLA...?

[pyhooya]

I am more worried about the DB positions than the DL positions. Bandy and after that its a bunch of not proven much except in mop up duty

We’ll have less experience in the secondary but I’m not worried. D-line will always make or break this defense under Diaz.

Miller might surprise people this year

That would be a huge bonus. It goes without saying that our level of DT recruiting needs to improve drastically if we want to run with the big boys.

Let's take a look

CB. Bandy/Blades
SS. Carter/Bolden
FS. Hall/K.Smith
CB. Ivey/Frierson
Nickel. Bandy/Couch
Striker. Finley/D.Smith

I love the quality here but we are dangerously thin. We need Emerson and at least 1 more CB. 2020 needs to be a homerun type of class.

What about the Bermuda Triangle 2.0? They supposed to lead this defense right?

Yes but it all starts up front... trenches matter

I think we should add 2 DTs from the portal. That would give us the type of depth necessary to go through an entire season. It would be a huge bonus if Miller develops.
DT
Silvera
Ford
Bethel
Miller
Portal guy 1
Portal guy 2
Munoz
Holley
Blisset

I'll take this for 2019 then it goes without saying that we need to keep stacking chips here. I would target another 3 in 2020.

1. *** (Sr) Bethel
2. ** (RSr) Nnoruka (UCLA)
3. *** (Jr) Ford
4. *** (RJr) Martin
5. **** (So) Nesta
6. Missing player
7. *** (RFr) Miller
8. **** (Fr) Blisset
9. *** (Fr) Holley (4 games redshirt)
10. *** (Fr) Munoz (4 games redshirt)

You guys forgot about DE Rouseau.

 

[orange&green84]

Still no Willis. That man made the D work.

You could make a legit case that Willis was the best DT in the nation last year.

We are only talking about DTs in those posts.

 

[407cane]

If we get the DT and trevon hill yes we will be as good as last year

We reloaded With all linebackers, bubba bolden fixed safety concerns, Rousseau is back and him and trevon hill fix the holes on the line

 

[Colombie]

Good enough to win the Coastal and hopefully give Clemson a game.

He was an important piece.

Top 10 defense. Other teams lost offense players and are replacing offensive players just as we’re replacing Defensive players

Not to mention we have gone through this type of situation before.

"There is no way our defense will be better in 2017. We lose too many Defensive backs."
"There is no way our defense will be better than 2017. We lose both our starting Defensive tackles."

 

[Captain Uberpants]

Every team is going to try And run it down our throats. They all saw the Wisconsin game.

Well seeing as that was a different year then that's alright, let them

Always be most worried about DL.

QB OL DL. If those are covered than you’re winning tons of games

Scary when you consider we only had 1 of the 3 covered last season .

I'd like the staff to contact Rico Kearney who left VT. He's an upgrade from the way McCloud played last year and would make it easier on the other LBs and DLs.
