Trent Simpson will not be on the 105-man

Had back surgery during the off-season. Might be the team next year, might transfer and play baseball somewhere.

He needs to play baseball for us!

[Political Hack]

hate to hear that. he seems like a solid kid and a hard worker. wonder if he could get a medical and still play baseball???

Looking a little thin on the d-line next year. I hope we get Adams and sign some juco guys.

I liked him better as a baseball player anyway. He hit double digit home runs his senior year and was named 6A Alabama All-State DH as a senior.

May see Big Cory Thomas line up at DT some this year with Brown and Jefferson on one side of the DE's and Smith and Dale at the other side. I expect C Jones to see a lot of DE this year as well leaving Adams, Eules, and PJ Jones at Dt with C Jones.

We may also change a lot of formations and throw Harris and McKinney at DE to mix shit up. Not too much if a loss here except for injury depth.

New to the board boys, and thanks for having me.

We're 5-deep at DE next year, but if Torrey Dale and practice hero-John Harris have to play much this year...it's going to be a long year. Not counting FR, we've got 6 SEC DT's on the roster. so, it wouldn't surprise me a bit if 1) Cory Thomas played some decent reps; 2) CJ lost some weight over the summer and saw 50/50 reps at DT and DE and; 3) We saw a LOT of 3-4 next year
