On defense I noticed that we didn't sign one DE. Obviously we think we are ok there? I don't know. I was not impressed with our pass rush from the DE position. Scratching head here. DT's couldn't get off blocks last year. I'll give Manciel some slack due to only one year in the weight program but this year he should be ready. He is very talented. The Juco DT will be a huge help and has the potential to be better than anyone we had last year. crossing fingers.... We still needed more immediate help. Maybe Poydras is that good? I didn't hear much about him last season. I would say Tommy will be heavily evaluated this year. We cannot afford to have a defensive line class like this brought in ever again. Am I missing something?
We are very heavy at DB. Remember two years ago when the cupboard was bare and we were crying? Does this mean we will be using more nickel backs vs. a 3rd linebacker? This would make sense when you play WKU and that is who our DC should model as far as talent and scheme to beat them. I feel great about incoming DB's.... best set I have seen. Octavious is a wild card. Great talent but did he even play last year? He is an interesting story. Originally committed to South Carolina as a 4 star two years ago but didn't make grades. Hope he has his head on straight.
Offense is obviously going to pass like a son of a bitch in the future! Franklin isn't going anywhere and I sense he will be here at least 2 to 3 more years. My sense is he wants 10 wr's ready to go in a season while at the same time redshirting 2 or 3. He platoons 8 in a game. We were kind of limited last year in play calling due to inexperience at wr but this year it will be full bore.
I love the juco kid at RB we are bringing in. Kind of reminds me of Cunningham in how he hits the hole quickly and can explode for a big gain. I love the Juco OL we picked up. He is talented but at 6-2...not sure he is a tackle. The kid from Oakland is a baller as well. The other OL seemed ok . The Mt. Juliet kid looked kind of slow but he is 6-7 so that may have been why.
I loved the film on Turner. powerful arm that can scramble well. I think he can be better that Stock. H certainly has the right coach in place to make it happen. Very happy with Turner. Yeah baby.
By the way. Have we hired a WR coach yet?
Next season is going to be interesting. Spring is a great time to evaluate our new defense. Can't wait!!!
