IIRC, recently, maybe Hubbs said that he is lazy and is not pushing for playing time. He is not getting after it apparently.

This. That's exactly what Hubbs said, Carson's desire isn't where it needs to be.

A Few Questions.
1) Has Brewer fully converted to LB?
2) Wasn't Taylor being mentioned as a part of the NT Rotation?
3) How has J-Smith looked in his move from DE to a standup LB?

Brewer is expected to completely move to LB this summer once his knee is healed. The staff wants Brewer up to 235lbs by the season.

Taylor needs to gain more weight to really hold his own at NT, he is a perfect 3-4 DE.

I haven't heard or read anything on J. smith.

Wow, I just read many intelligent UT football comments from actual UT fans.
I don't post very much (well, almost never) but I read comments often and really hope this takes off. Great job guys, really mean it.

Agreed. The FF has become the Endzone from Hell (no offense Zoners). The best/only chance for legit football talk is here. I've hoped for something like this for a while.

Most quality information comes into the RF on a consistent basis thanks to a handful of dedicated posters (Thanks you guys - you know who you are). It only makes sense to allow some real nuts and bolts football conversation here imo.

The Zone is at least amusing most of the time.

Funny people over there. I love the lulz.

I love the depth amongst the db's. I would love nothing more to see a guy like Bonner come in and show the talent to start/contribute immediately. Depth is great, but we need lockdown talent in freshmen every so often.

I'm most happy about us playing press man coverage.

I'm most worried about Aj or Maggitt going down. Would be hard to recover from.

My breakout guys on defense are: AJ Johnson- I think if he's healthy he'll be a star

Byron Moore at FS- he reads the QB well and looked good when he was on the field last year. Also he can bump down on the slot in the nickel to get Orta or McNeil on the field.

Guys I want to see grow: Justin Coleman- like his skill set, mindset, and potential. I want to see him put it together.

Tino Thomas- I know he just got on campus but he's a steal at 6'0 200lbs with real 4.4 speed.

Jordan Williams- really thought he was going to breakout I like his skill set. I want him to really find his niche in this defense.

I also think that Randolph will really break out this year.

same here. he was a pleasant surprise imo for a freshman at the end of last year.

I've heard some in the local media grumbling about Maggit working at ILB. While I agree he should be outside, moving some guys around this time of year means squat.

It just helps our depth.

He's inside so teams can't just double down on AJ. Having both of them behind McCullers will keep at least one of our best players on defense free at all times.

Where is Corey Miller?
Why isnt he showed anything?
