It's hard to speculate since we have so many. I never thought we'd see Lewis and Green as fourth and fifth year players honestly.

Good point. With Sweat coming back also, it kind of begs the question - do you think they looked around and thought we have the talent to win big this next year if we all come back? Sweat certainly could have gone pro. Leo didn't have the year we hoped for, but I think we kind of know why. Green could have gone pro too, but who knows where he would have been drafted, if at all. We have had that happen in recent years. Bear Wilson and Beniquez Brown are two examples that come to mind. We brought everybody we could when a few players at least could have left.
What I've heard about our upcoming Dline is that Rivers will be our best pass rusher. When you have a guy like Montez Sweat on the line, and another guy named Jeffrey Simmons taking up double teams, it certainly makes me very optimistic.
Sure, I think that plays into their minds. Bear and Brown left after 2015, and we lost a good bit besides them, namely Dak and Jones. 2016 showed that, plus Mullen himself was trying to get out after 2015. I can't really blame them. Morale was low after the end of 2015
Get ready for everyone to underrate this year's DL, then use the guys we there lose to predict the entire D will be bad in 2019. We'll return Kobe, Spencer, Adams, Rivers(?) and Odom at DE, with Autry begin a solid DT and Lovett ready to go there too. The '19 DL Will be ok, but I'm calling it now- the media will use the loss of Simmons, Sweat, and Thomas to say the DL will be terrible
Grantham was a good DC but he screwed the pooch with UGA and AU and also with om. He let The Rock's younger brother treat us like a bitch for two quarters before we actually did something. Stidham and Fromm looked like Heisman winners in those games. Beyond pathetic. Grantham's defense has it's holes and can be exploited like a sixteen year old runaway.
I'm gonna have to disagree with you Ari. Offensively, yes, we were pitiful but that flea flicker on the first play sent our defense into full retard. And Stidham could've made a ham sandwich in all the time he had in that pocket. And I think it's more on Mullen than Grantham. He didn't have us ready for UGA or AU.
We gave up 14 first half points agianst UGA
And after the scoop and score against Aub that the ****ing official blows dead which should have made the score 7-7
We go backwards on offense and kick fg.
Not saying the defense played well both those games. But scoring ZERO second half points when your in both games at halftime doesn’t help your Defesne .
I agree about Dan's offense being overrated. He feasted on teams that weren't as talented and sucked in games with teams with a pulse. The hilarious part is you can tell that he thinks he's a football genius. That's why the Dan Walsh nickname was hilarious and appropriate.
