Just looking at the talent on both sides of the ball.. wow. Next year is the first season I will be genuinely excited about the canes in a long time. The schedule sets up nicely. We need stacy coley to have a big offseason and step up to be the man next year. If that happens I think we're a 10-11 win team
 
SCOTT will be the #1 reciever next year bet that. No one on the roster has better hands or route running ability.




With the season coming to a close, lets look ahead to 2015. Who do you think will be the starters?

Here is my projected starting line up:

Offense
QB Brad Kaaya SO 4 star
HB Joe Yearby SO 4 star or Jordan Scarlett FR 4 star
FB Walter Tucker JR 2 star
WR Herb Waters SR 3 star
WR Stacy Coley JR 4 star
TE Standish Dobard JR 4 star
LT Taylor Gadbois RJR 4 star
LG Alex Gall JR 3 star
C Nick Linder SO 3 star
RG Danny Isidora RJR 4 star
RT Trevor Darling SO 4 star

Defense
SDE Chad Thomas SO 5 star
NT Calvin Heurtelou SR 3 star
DT Ufomba Kamalu RSR 3 star
RUSH Al-Quadin Muhammad RSO 4 star
SAM Tyriq McCord SR 4 star
MLB Raphael Kirby SR 4 star
WILL Jermaine Grace JR 4 star
CB Artie Burns JR 4 star
CB Corn Elder JR 4 star
SS Rayshawn Jenkins RJR 3 star
FS Deon Bush SR 4 star

Looking one more year ahead: With this starting line up and no one leaving early we could be returning 10 offensive starters and 7 defensive starters for 2016. Add in the outstanding 2016 recruiting class and we could be looking at ring number 6 in 2016.

Scott route running is ok
 
If I had the choice, my starting defense:

DE Chad Thomas
DT Courtel Jenkins
DT Ufomba Kamalu
DE Al-Quadin Muhammad
SAM Darrion Owens
MLB Raphael Kirby
WILL Jermaine Grace
CB Artie Burns
CB Corn Elder
SS Jamal Carter
FS Deon Bush

Upfield. Everyone. Go.
come on bro carter is not better than Jenkins

What makes Jenkins the better player?

What makes carter better I've never seen him do anything during a real game

How would you line up in our base 3-4 (understanding you don't like that look)? I'm having trouble with the 2nd DE spot (CJ at Nose and Ufomba at one DE), as Thomas is too small for a DE in a true 3-4.

1. Pretty sure he is saying we should be running a 4-3
2. Where do you think Chad Thomas plays now? He is a 3-4 DE in our current scheme, he backs up Chick.

Basically it's the same lineup but AQM playing jack not de

Yeah but the way our front 4 would play in a hypothetical 4-3 is much different then its structured in our current 3-4.

I guess I can say "BUT, I ASKED YOU FIRST!!!" I won't. Here's my view:

It's hard to really tell because I don't necessarily like what either are being asked to do (zone behind a weak, passive front is ******* hard), but here's where I judge:

- I like Jenkins' athleticism, but he often takes worse angles than what I've seen Jenkins take.
- I feel safer with Carter's tackling than I do with Jenkins'. At least from I can remember.
- I'd personally use Carter closer to the LOS - let him blitz, play some man underneath and generally be an athlete. I prefer Carter in that role over Jenkins. And, really, that's the deciding factor.

(FWIW, I'm a big fan of Jenkins. I thought it'd be him and Carter this year)

What you ask your DL to do changes…everything. As in, picture that Mio commercial where the white dude turns into a small black cowboy.

I'll take a crack at it.

By the way, people are forgetting that Rayshawn Jenkins had a pretty serious injury. Was mentioned before that its not sure if he's going to play again. For now I'm very questionable on him so I'm leaving him off at least for now.

Sadly I am also writing off Scott for now. I always see him perform well in the offseason and he looks the part. But its crumbled 2 years in a row. I know its been said he might be back next year but for now I am doubting it.

I expect Coley and Howard to make 180's next season. I actually was at the game and focused in on Coley a lot. Coley still has it, Kaaya and Coleys chemistry is just not there yet. That injury earlier in the year messed up their rhythm. I expect those two to be working real close in the offseason. I definitely see Coley and Howard bouncing back. Coley was killing FSU's DB's I can't tell you how many times I saw him get open, the kid will be fine.

I expect Carter to improve his tackling over the offseason.

I like what Gus has done recently but jury still out and I think it looks bleak for him with the other horses coming in to join Yearby in the stable.

I think Gayot future is at linebacker. I see him outgrowing safety, I see a lot of potential for him at linebacker.

I don't have some listed in my chart that will still play like McCray, Smith, Wyche, and others.

I expect Gray to be at wide receiver. I see Ty Montgomery ability in him. I don't want him to be wasted away like Geathers.
