Nick Linder and Chad Thomas

[User-4525]

Last night our whole Oline was from south Florida. Despite what some say, there is some trenches talent down here.

I didn't see Chad Thomas play at all. I always change the channel whenever we are on defense.

 

[DuffleBagYoda]

but but but Chickillo is a Sr and playing lights out! lol- ( some
posters in here are funny)
this is not a knock on chick,because i think he was suited to be a DT after his soph year, but thomas is the best DE we have period!!
His range are off the charts!

This, chad will be a beast for the next head coach, i thought chick should have been a DT coming out of high school because of his style of play

Chick is a great Strong side DE in a 4 3 actually

A legit HC and DC would salvage this team. And turn us into a 4-3 attacking defense next year.

DE: Muhammad/McCord
DT: Kamalu
DT: Jenkins/Huertolou
DE: Chad

OLB: Grace
MLB: Kirby
OLB: Owens

(Armbrister going to leave to the nfl if he's smart.)

CB: Howard
CB: Burns/Elder

S: Carter
S: Bush


And they would let these boys play. Bring in Butch and a legit DC. Bet you were at the worst a top 35 D the first year.

Chad looked scary for a true Freshman. Another year in the weight room and he's going to look like an NFL end.

 

[Jassid82]

Chad looked like he belonged. Whoever our HC/DC is next year going to have alot to work with. The cupboard will not be bare.

Linder was a pleasant surprise.

Wtf was Fentress doing getting starters minutes?

 

[maxterofdisaster]

I was at the game and I had a few GT fans ask about "that #9". He clearly stood out.

 

[TheSwagger1]

Going to wait and see on Linder, but a promising first audition.

 

[Canesfan1899]

Happy to hear Linder playing this well already, thought he needed some time to develop.

Thomas needs to be unleashed!

 

[DiegoCane]

I'm happy to know Chad will likely get to play in a legit D by the time he moves on to the NFL. Praying its next year.

 

[4Canes]

Thomas looked big, especially for a Freshman. Please god keep him at about 265 though.

Sorry bra, But this is non- sense!
No way should chick be affiliated with DE in the same sentence.

I think Fentress was in there because he's physical and aggressive.

I mean, when you don't let him play physical and aggressive it sorta ***** that theory though

Nope, should have been a DT coming out of high school, dont be surprised if that is what he plays at the next level

Bump.

This kid just flat out can play. Some people questioned whether he was worthy of a scholarship and he's just stepped right in and bwasted for an undersized freshman.

Have some more kids, Linders.

Is it me or has he made a difference at guard?

Maybe him being smaller and quicker is helping with zone blocking and pulling. The ol seemed too big and slow before he was added to lineup.

He's quick but that little ****** DOES NOT budge when he's engaged. He's shockingly powerful at the point of attack. Boy he could be a good one.

I was one of the few who wanted him.. lowly 3 * whipping the higher rated kids.. Not surprising.
Question
Does Kehoe get credit or do we blame Swasey for LInder blowing guys off the ball.

 

[HurricaneVision]

Interestingly, Thomas was terrible tonight.

Linder was our best OL tonight believe it or not. We ran that stretch play repeatedly because Linder could get to the second level. Not always pretty blocks- but effective.
