RJ McIntosh needs some love

[Jassid82]

Whats crazy is that we will have 5 legit DTs by the time FSU rolls around. Everyone will be fresh. Our CB depth will be like this in two years. Just waiting for that LB depth to catch up.

RJ reminds me of a young Richard Seymour. He can easily get up to 300-305 and look like he is still 290 with his frame.

D Line is balling I always see Big Mac, and Ken Norton together and they are about that business all the time

Smaller, but super athletic! I love that we no longer trot out sumos and expect them to get off blocks.

Smaller? Isn't he like 290?

yes very big dude hence my nickname for him: Big Mac

This is why I'm worried about DT numbers for 2018.

McIntosh and Norton (who is just as good for his role) have the raw ability to be 3-and-dones.

Isn't Gerald Willis a RS Soph? Perhaps Mcintosh leaves in 2017 and Willis/Norton stay behind. Bit of a dream. If not, we have to make moves. Would have been nice if we had m'f'in RS'd Moten.

Luckily, it should be far easier to convince ultra talented DTs given the scheme and their [current] personal tutor.

Willis won't be around past 2017 from what I hear, barring injury.

I would have liked to see Fines moved to OL but the 2018 numbers are keeping him on D. Martin has to gain a lot of strength before he's a factor.

Where will he be in 2017? Is the military draft coming back?

Probably expecting him to be kicked out by then. Dude's got an expiration date like a carton of milk.

That's more realistic

It's amazing that these guys have played so well we might have to worry about their leaving early.

Hopefully we can add another impact DT alongside Ford in the '17 class.

That would be dumber than when Marcus Forston and Tommy Streeter decided to leave early for the NFL

I think Willis goes pro either this year or (more likely) next year.

Tried telling all the worry warts that we had plenty of talent on the DL. All we kept hearing was the whining about not having any DTs. We just needed someone to coach them up and a philosophy that would maximize their talent. We have both of those now, and miraculously, we have great production from the DL.

Thank God Folden missed on so many of his Plan A guys like ***** Bryant and Jay-Tard Bostwick and wound up with under-the-radar guys like Jenkins, Norton and McIntosh.

Crazy other than Willis who didn't sign with us out of high school. Moten was the highest rated and he is the least effective so far. Even through camp

Ranking services are notoriously trash for predicting DTs and OL. They don't know what makes those guys tick and what makes a great college/NFL DT or OL. They just rate the giant kids who dominate occasionally based on size highly.

Yup and alot of times those guys are maxed out in high school and dominate kids who havent even started growing yet with pure brute strength.

i think they need ONE more DL in this class...Possible a DT or Owen Carney the DE from Central.

 

[Sabetta]

People need to relax saying Chad, Norton and McIntosh are going to leave early. Sure they've looked good but We haven't played a P5 opponent yet. All of them as going to lose money leaving early.

They pick DTs like they pick QBs

I know I didn't want to be that guy but for a bit of fun can we all go ahead and imagine what AQM would have looked like..... SHEEEESH

 

[Dwinstitles]

That whole dl serious

 

[deleted4697]

We got DTs?

Yessir... That ongoing joke about "can he/she play dt" is dead

 

[hoover437]

that was just that ishtty scheme the last crew ran, think what Chad would look like this year in it. Just think!!!

 

[hoover437]

I think he's the most impactful defensive player so far this season. The cool thing is that we don't have a monstrous drop off to our second unit. What Mcintosh is good at doing are also things Gerald Willis does well. Both of them together on pass downs is a nice combination.

Everyone understands we return every single one of these guys, right? If Chad Thomas decides to return, it's potentially the best DL here in a very long time. 4 legitimate DEs and possibly 5 NFL DTs.

Throw in the blue chip freshman DBs with the returning front 7 (plus their backups) and we've got a potential top 10 defense.

shout the defense, think if Kaaya comes back as well. We should be a top 2 school!

 

[WestEndZone]

Yes.

 

[cane since birth]

Its funny a lot of people forgot about him with the misses golden made in his class, kid was a straight stud in high school, and hes showing it every gameday

 

[QSTOKES]

can't wait for ga tech, how does our attacking style match with their chop blocks?

we need our d line to come out of that game healthy with FSU the following week.
