Is anyone concerned about our D front?

Winning every game we aren’t double digit dogs. That would be a great year.

 

Not sure we are double digit dogs in any game

 

Georgia , Texas and Ole piss were last I checked I think. If we win all the others, maybe not by gametime.

 

Florida is currently double digit dogs against UGA, @Tennessee and @FSU. Heck the line against UGA is 20 right now. I don't see lines for Texas yet but @Texas would certainly be a 10+ point spread right now too.

Hearing good things about George Gumbs.

 

At the very least he looks the part. Speaking of looking the part, McCray, Chiles, and Graham do not look like true freshmen.

 

Wow I’d take us at UTk and at FSU right now.

 

Especially with 10+

 

FSU will be the the FSU that got embarrassed by UGA. Their one and done team of portal mercienaries and other team's castoffs peaked last year. Norvell is a still an overrated fraud, like Jimbo F. No way you can do odds on any games right now until kickoffs start this weekend. I think we show incredible improvement this year. This team feels disrespected, and I think they will surprise some people. I am in the 7-8 wins camp, and maybe a surprise or 2, like taking UGA down to a minute left in the 4th.

 

Not as concerned about the depth per say, but am concerned about having All SEC type talent at at least two positions on the front four.
Off topic but Princely U is battling injuries over at Ole Piss.

 

Yes, less concerned about DL/LB than OL. We have a lot of bodies at DL and expecially DE. Lets go staff!!!!

 

Your DT's Slackman, Cam Jackson and Caleb banks and Kelby collins and Humphries with maybe LJ doing some work there. I feel good about a 5-6 man Dt Rotation

Your DE are Boone, Sapp, McCray and James - feel good about that
Your rush end are Searcy, Gumbs, Pyburn and ivory. That’s where I worry. I think we are much better vs the run and maybe got faster but I don’t see where a bunch’s sacks come from. Maybe blitzing a nickel or safety or sending Shemar or Pup or Chiles?
But I just don’t see a get to the QB guy. Searcy maybe that dude? Maybe Sapp and Boone take a step?

 

Way better than two years ago when it was Gervon Dexter and, well, Gervon Dexter. Much better depth and I think talent level too. Pretty sure having solid LB play will help with gap control. I’m pretty optimistic about this D.

 

Why?

 

They aren't as good as they were mid-season last year, but they are far better than the shell that showed up against Jawja.

Your professional opinion or O&B Kool-Aid? If so, what does that make Billy?

This is spot on.

Hope so. Most of us will have to see it first.

Why? They have no accomplishments to feel disrespectful by. Or as Parcells said, "You are as good as your record."

I think seven wins can be achieved, providing a few of our opponents are not as good as advertised, and that we remain injury/expulsion free. Heck, Zook won 9 on the field with a true frosh at QB, 13 new starters, and a schedule probaby tougher than this year's schedule. But after the last three years, I no longer have expectations. Until we prove otherwise on the field, we are nothing more than a middle of the pack P4 program.

I hope to God Billy's plan is sound and will return us to respectability, enroute to greatness.

 

Re getting to the QB, we scheme to get past OL(stunts, blitzes), our players aren't just trying to push past OL with brute strength, right? We should be able to do some things well by now.

 

Ye have a little faith

 

Because I think we win those games outright, so I’ll take the points.

 

As Colin Powell said, "Faith and hope are not planning factors..."

I hope we run the table, but I have very little faith that we would. Even smaller than a mustard seed...

 

Hope you're right, but I don't see our team being demonstrably better than theirs, particularly at their houses. As for the points, however, that is doable...
