It's a coaching cliche for a reason: some players bring juice to your defense. That means they play with energy, twitch and physicality. It sets a tone and gives your defense an identity.

We didn't have that last year, especially in our secondary. Blades and Ivey weren't physical. Hall was tough enough, but tended to blend in the background. Bolden was inconsistent. We were a slow, passive and uninspired defense.

TRob is known for producing DBs who play hard, fast and aggressive. He likes to create a competitive environment. But he needs new blood to crank up the temperature in the room. Enter Tyrique Stevenson. He's ridiculously explosive, with a verified 4.49 and 40 inch VJ at 200+. He's also tough as **** and plays with motor. James Williams is not only a freak, but a passionate Energizer bunny with an engine that runs the entire game. Avantae Williams is cut from the same cloth.

I expect to see a different tone on next year's defense, and those four additions are a big reason why.

And the only one who will start is rique and the board will be in a frenzy over it..it’s like clock work. Tae hasn’t played a game since HS 2019..unless James Williams is a EE I don’t think he’ll see meaningful snaps early on. That said I don’t question Tae and Williams god giving ability at all. Nor do i question TROB getting them bois ready to go

Don’t forget Kam, cerebral assassin and play maker

ROFL, no secondary brings "juice" running primary zone coverages, to busy trying to figure out WTF is going on, both I've and blades played with more of it when coach diaz was the d-co!

Rams do. They're literally the only defense on the planet that plays fast and physical in a predominant zone scheme. They also stop the run in their 2-deep shell which is rare to see in CFB.

That is it

Good question. I think we see a lot of rotation next year. The depth has improved in the back 7.

I want to see Keontra Smith get more reps at LB to get him on the field. Keep Couch inside at slot. I like Chantz more than Cam Williams and hope he takes that 3rd DE spot. I’d also like to see more snaps for Elijah Roberts.

agree with chantz. Don’t see it with cam....yet.

CHeck, check, check, check

Add in an NFL RB who can catch and block, and an NFL DL and defensive backfield, and some NFL LBs, and you get to have intercourse whenever you want.

Harley's the best receiver we got. Crazy to me he's the one people are complaining about.

Not complaining about Harley, on a good team he is a #3.. He is our #1.. We play Bama next year and have no answer for improving.. We need juice.. We have to score 50 to even compete.. How can we do that if we cant recruit better players after him being here 5 years..

So basically, elite NFL prospects at every position, more or less.

Let’s do that than....
 
Offseason platitudes again. Blake Baker needs to go. The last 2 games showed a structural and fundamental problem. We are deluding ourselves if we think that was all on the players. Yes better players will improve things but not to the level to give great teams problems.

Not falling for these offseason awards. And I love the new players, but I dont think players are our #1 issue. Because if they show the same inconsistency, we are gonna hear the same excuses.
