![]() I feel almost certain both of those guys have been over recruited. I would not expect much from either.

In my opinion we are in more trouble at end than corner. English got thrown around this year. Almost everyone is trying to "gain weight". |

![]() ...or maybe he's had catastrophic knee injuries and he's been passed by people behind him.
There's still room under the bus if you feel like chunking a few more people there.

![]() English is going to be a good one imo. He will be 250lbs by the time we open up. I also think David Johnson is going to be a great player for us and is certainly not under sized.

![]() Who's throwing him under the bus? Some just believe we have recruited better players. He has every chance to prove us wrong. If you don't like others opinion then you shouldn't be on a message board.

I haven't heard enough interviews with Deke to have an opinion. However, he seems to have the players ear whenever they show him on the sidelines in the games. Deke also has more street cred as a DL coach than Lawing based upon his background. So, I am respectfully disagreeing with you and I have good reasons for disagreeing with you. |

![]() I'll join you in hoping we are wrong.It might be that I just had such high hopes for last years line and the other teams schemed in ways that prevented it from being monster or that my expectations were unreasonable, but it did feel like a step in the wrong direction.

As far as our DL performance this year, it's pretty well established that the first four fifths year's linebacker play was the hole in DL stats and performance. As the LB's picked it up, the DL could stick to their gaps and everything, including TFL and sacks picked up. We did get beat around left DE a lot, but that got better as the LB's improved and as Dixon 44 got into the mix more. Last edited by Goofyboy; 02-14-2014 at 09:58 PM.. |

![]() Adams is clearly superior to Lawing as a recruiter. As far as evaluating talent and coaching, I don't think Deke has been here long enough. Perhaps another year or two and then those comparisons can be made.
As far as Ellis Johnson is concerned, I don't think anyone can argue with the fact there are few college coaches that know more about defensive coaching than Ellis. Having said that, every time I heard him interview, he was always very negative and pointing to all the mistakes the players made, hardly ever any words of praise or encouragement. I think it was that attitude that caused him to be such a poor head coach. Whammy seems to be able to relate very well and appears to be a players' coach. But when he speaks, I don't think he needs to say things twice to get his point across. I think his personality fits perfectly with Spurrier where EJ's personality seemed to conflict with SOS from time to time. |

![]() We've had questions at certain positions going into every year the last few years. We've gone 11-2 the last 3 years. I'm pretty sure we'll be fine barring any injuries.
I'm not worried about it at all. Just hope the boys get in the weight room and practice field and break out their work ethics every day. |

![]() "You can take your stats and wallpaper your powder room with them."
Ellis Johnson to The State reporters Spurrier, OTH, loves his stats. He taught Connor Shaw how to use them in post game interviews. |

I hope so. The situation is similar to Devin Taylor, except that DT was making plays even when he was underweight. Again I hope I'm wrong but it looks to me like we'll get hit hard on the edges. Our biggest tests in '14 will be against teams that are run first. Being able to hold up the edge will be important. |

![]() Unfortunately, the term "conservative" has been co-opted by the big government and authoritarian Republicans. It no longer means what it meant in the classical sense. Same with "liberal". It is weird how politics bend the meanings of words. It is hard to know what you believe when you describe yourself as conservative nowadays.
