    Jucos need adjustment time
    We dont have a dominant DL player for the 2nd year in a row and we lost arguably our best one to transfer.
    Almost no depth

    A good DC cant mask all that. They will play hard and thats all we can ask.
    I don't disagree with most in this post. I will say Crumedy will be better than Lovett.

    Oh I agree with that. I was talking about him being an NFL talent.

    Not trying to be a downer, but maybe the receivers looked so good because the DBs were that bad.

    That would assume that Leach has no idea what he’s looking at.

    I was just conferring w iyok. Sorry if you took it that way. Wasn't intended to you or meant that way. Usually one can tell when I'm trying to be an ass.

    From a getting open standpoint and winning jump balls, you could be right. But just from the basics of catching the ball when open (which is a big improvement from all the drops), the dBs being bad wouldn't impact that.

    Heck man I'm just glad we're arguing football again and not all that other stuff!

    It's good to have it back!
    If we've truly found a great DC then we should be at least an average defense with the personnel we have. An average DC can put a really good defense on the field when stocked at every position. When JLD got here he made a big difference taking over for Bill Clay. And Grantham was a huge difference when taking over for Peter Sirmon. If Arnett knows what he is doing then I think we have enough talent to be a middling SEC defense.

    The WR are clearly better & also the CB are young & inexperienced. Emerson is SEC ready. Forbes & Richardson have very high ceilings but are going to get baptized in fire this year. Furdge can be a 2 deep guy & he's improved but it is worrisome that he's in line to start the season. The secondary will make some plays this year but also give up a good many. Our WR's are going to be a surprise to the fanbase IMO.

    It's my hope as well that we have a middle of the road defense this year. I imagine we will have some flashes and we will play with effort(which has been lacking) but we're going to give up yards and points this year at times in bunches and that's not negative just the way it's gonna be this year. We don't have any pass rushers on the dl which means we will have to blitz which will leave our inexperienced and thin secondary on an island which will
    mean giving up some big plays. I have lot of hope for the future though.

    Would you agree that if people are unhappy where they are, that unhappiness will be manifested, usually in a negative manner?

    No doubt they are excellent players but would that excellence out weigh the manifestation of being unhappy?

    IYHO?

    Who are the 8 guys you think will get the most PT at WR?

    And who have you heard good things about not named Mitchell or Payton?

    I think could I don't think it's a foregone conclusion it would have. I think once they got on the field they would've produced.
