Looking ahead to 2020

[Sneaky john ekey]

Without anything crazy happening what are we looking like for starters?

Offense: Peters, Epstein, Bonner/Brown, Bebe, Smalling, Sidney, Ford, Palcho, green, Kramer, brown, Lowe.

Defense: wole, woods, Avery, gay/carney, eifler, hansen, cooper/tolson, hobbs, beason, Adams, brown.

Tony is an interesting conversation.

Tony is an interesting conversation.

personally it’s all about how beason recovers. Especially with Witherspoon adding nice depth. I trust tony more than Kerry/smith/ware

 

[Twangers]

Yea, Beason’s recovery will dictate much. That said, it’s also Tony’s level of play. He’s significantly stronger outside than he is at safety. Hard to say if it’s in his or our best interest to revisit that.

Totally agree honestly it’s more on who out of the other safety group shows it’s worthwhile to keep tony at corner.

Best problem to have but we do have a problem. Should be a fun season.

what do you think about the defensive line rotation?
And could navarro push sidney. Or myers/slaughter push brown?

@Dude of course this is situational, right? We wouldn’t game plan Purdue the same way we’d play Wisconsin. Well both be right and wrong depending on the situation.

Correct, after reading your first post I started thinking about who we play that runs the RPO. I say let's get our Tommie and Urlacher and call it a day lol

Avery and Doyle. Sydney Brown looks like Mike Brown at S. Antonio Johnson adds and another level with two elite, physical ballhawks at S on the back end with those guys in the middle, Seth Coleman coming off the edge, Beason at CB, etc. That's literally a super Defense.

Wow. Either that's going to be a beatdown from holy hell or they'll just forfeit the game and we'll get the automatic W. Either way I'm okay with though it won't do much to prepare us.

In theory that sounds great. But there is a lot of chips that would need to swing our way before that became a reality....A LOT

I am hoping to see an Edwin Carter sighting. We did miss him this year. Just a few plays he showed some great potential. Was he dressing for the games and doing pre-game workouts? Not much mention of him this year.

 

[Sneaky john ekey]

dalevon Campbell is another interesting piece really athletic and track star.

 

[CogDog]

Just looking at our current d-tackle depth, I think we need to move Randolph inside next year or let him swing between SDE and d-tackle. I truly hope Lou whips Avery into shape/Avery realizes his potential. Sorry if this was already discussed.

Beason fully recovered
Seth Coleman making a huge leap in physical development
Flipping Doyle and AJ from an SEC school run by Jerkbo Fisher

I was reading that like having that class in a few years. Then all we need is Doyle and AJ

This guy is going to be a BEAST next year

 

[Sneaky john ekey]

What’s a interesting position battle for you guys? I think the RG and slot battle will be interesting.

Looked like 515 and he did it for a triple? Impressive.

cant tell if that is a ten or a five. But what's ten pounds when you talking about how easy that was for him. Dude is very strong already

That’s a future pro right there

he moved it the way most people move 135 in a warm up set.

515 isn’t very impressive. How easy it was for him was impressive
