The Bank (Defensive Edition) 1/12

[DMoney]

I know everybody is asking about quarterback and the offense, but I'll post that breakown later today when the dust settles a bit. Let's start with our Portal efforts the defensive side of the ball.

- The key name to know on defense is Missouri DE Damon Wilson. The former five star from Venice, Florida is the best defensive player in the Portal, and Miami is zeroing in on him. They are looking for bigger defensive ends to replace Rueben Bain and Akheem Mesidor.

- The Canes are also...

[Bender]

We are not pursuing Koi Perich

and in today's list of things I don't understand

 

[bobbydigius]

We need a nickel corner.

 

[Golsen82]

Give me Olsen!

 

[Golsen82]

And bring us Wilson and Carter

 

[DMoney]

We need a nickel corner.

Thornton will play there a bit. I can see Antoine playing there depending how corner shakes out. He's a dog against the run.

 

[Bender]

If the deal was between Thornton and Perich, I'll be honest, we've made a grave mistake.

 

[G Reg3rdLeg]

I understand it’s a luxury but we should be doing everything we can to keep all 4 corners. It’s not like they don’t all play a ton when healthy, and we are seeing first hand how quickly even this level of depth can evaporate. Bring them all back and have the best secondary in the country next year.

 

[grover]

We need a nickel corner.

And a second DT after Carter. And another LB. We've been super lucky with injuries. Assuming we land Wilson and Carter, which would be amazing, that would still only be 6 portal guys on defense plus replacing anyone else who leaves.

We lose Keionte and Jakobe, and Thorton gonna play both spots on some 11 on 10 defense type ****.. Umm, Yikes

He is absolutely a dog against the run but I am petrified of him being asked to cover at nickel. It isn’t exactly a strength of his at safety, and playing nickel is a different beast all together in that respect. How is Dunnigan been looking? I think he could be a great nickel down the road.

 

[PIPO]

If the deal was between Thornton and Perich, I'll be honest, we've made a grave mistake.

I love Perich as much as anyone here but based on how this staff has been evaluating and the players they picked up that have made a difference this year, I will give the staff the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise.

I agree on LB. Another DT is always welcome but maybe one of the freshmen like Stancil can contribute a bit?

 

[404Usernamenotfound]

@DMoney nothing on the Desir twins?

 

[P-Tizzle]

Wilson

Think we can slot Fitzgerald into a FS spot and then Poyser and Thornton can takeover the other roles

Not saying I'm happy about it, but we do have players on the team that are going to be one year older. It's not like we have to replace every 1 year transfer with another 1 year transfer, the goal of the 1 year transfer is to hopefully hold you over till the recruited talent is ready.

 

[Problem2]

Think it says a lot if Heatherman doesn’t want Perich

Not buying that.
