    I like some of the position moves I'm hearing with Grantham's defense

    Possibly Gerri Green to DE and Montez Sweat to OLB. Both are good moves IMO.

    Its time for Gerri Green to show up. So far hes looked the part but not much else. Not saying he cant but its time. Sweat is a guy that has to be ready to go for us to give us the depth we need, if he and some others do, I expect Granthams first defense to be a damn good one

    I agree about Green. The times I have focused on his play, I haven't been impressed. He has all the physical tools, but he needs to get a lot tougher.

    He had a decent Freshman season and not a very good one this past year. A lot of our players looked like Jane. It was a common theme with Peter Sirmon. I think that they were all thinking too much.

    I don't think we really had a defensive player that did have a good year this past season outside of maybe Leo Lewis. Thanks Sirmon.

    Hoping that a lot of people were screwed up by Sirmon. Green and Bryant looked a lot better as freshmen than last year.

    Gerri may play some DE when/if we're in a 4 man front. He's still at LB in the 3-4. Sweat was recruited as a 3-4 OLB. I don't know what Grantham will call it but the same as the Viper.

    If he's outside there's really not much difference between our 3-4 and our 4-3. We can play it either way, just comes down to gap control and assignments.

    We need DBs. I wonder where Sweat will end up.

    I'm interested to see but he's just as big as AJ Jefferson.

    Not giving up on him yet. He's had 2 different DCs with completely different schemes. I'm hopeful grantham can finally get green to flip the switch

    Our front 7 will match anyone in the country via the eye test..
