Title: Worried about DL this fall??
Post by: McBaman on July 22, 2012, 07:18:32 PM
Should we be worried about DL this fall?  I don't know our personnel well enough to say.  What do you guys think?

Personally, I think we are going to be just fine on the DL. I see Jesse, and Damian doing a lot of damage. The support behind them can turn them loose and let them crush the QB. JMHO. RTR!

I know we are very good with Jesse Williams, Damian Square and Quinton Dial. I think we have a great deal of talent on the DL and should be fairly deep.

As always it's about injury luck.  We didn't know until after the NCG how banged up the team was last year.  During 2010 it was obvious; lots of the players were out.

The two deep depth chart for the DL is listed below. Also look for Adrian Hubbard to move up as a pass rusher on passing downs like Hightower did last year to apply more pressure.

92 Damion Square | 6-3, 285
8 Jeoffrey Pagan | 6-4, 272
 
90 Quinton Dial | 6-6, 294
49 Ed Stinson | 6-4, 279
 
54 Jesse Williams | 6-4, 319
62 Brandon Ivory | 6-4, 308

We return all 3 starters from last year, so I think we will be extra fine. I'm more worried about the D backs & LB's.

Josh Chapman was a stater last year. Gentry played a lot but was not a starter. I think we will be very good at DL. We have the talent to have a good defense. We need people like Robert Lester and Nico Johnson to step up and provide the leadership so we play as a team and get everybody in the right positions and not miss assignments.

I think one of the biggest things that CNS is concerned with this year is having good team leaders. There is a lot of talent on both sides of the football this year but there has to be some good leadership from some of them to make this team jell. Bama had great leadership last year but the lack of that pretty much cost Bama a national championship the year before.

Everybody isn't cut out to be a leader but you hope that those that are will step up to the challenge.

Yeah, I forgot about Chapman, mainly because Gentry was so dominating against LSU in the Big Game.

I think we have enough leadership from the likes of the ones named above. I can see us getting some young talent in these games for the depth even for next year also, 2014. I look at our depth chart and we look very strong to me on "D" and "O". RTR!
