5 keys for a successful fall camp:

1. Avoid injuries. If we can survive camp without losing anyone in the two deep to any serious/season ending injuries, that would be a huge success.

2. Find the gems. Hopefully 3 or 4 members of the 2016 class will really stand out in fall camp and push for playing time right away. Contenders should be Warrior at Safety, Kongbo on the DL, and one or two of the new receivers (Johnson, Callaway, Byrd). Having immediate impact players in the 2016 class will be huge for special teams and depth.

3. Depth Depth Depth. Can McDowell and Sapp be good enough to take some of the load off JRM and Kirkland? Are Berry, Abernathy and Mosley good enough to provide real depth in the secondary? Are Jack Jones, Charles Mosley, and Kendrick ready to step in if someone goes down? Can John Kelly be a real threat? Does anyone challenge QD for #2?

4. Defense and Special Teams. We have a new DC and Special Teams Coordinator. How quickly can guys learn the new systems and still fly around?

5. Throw game. Can DeBoard find a way to get Dobbs and his receivers in rhythm? Has Dobbs improved since last year? Is Dobbs gelling with the new WR corps? Can any of the WR's be elite this season?

If we can answer all of these questions in the affirmative, we're in for quite a ride this season!

Read a second year surge article about Picou-- said he was heavier, stronger, and walks around with a pretty big chip on his shoulder about not being viewed as a prototypical SEC D lineman... sounds like he will be a sleeper and will definitely be giving it everything he's got if he gets on the field... hope he does well, proving people wrong is a powerful motivator...

Practice rules based on the past two year's injuries during camp:

two hand touch until Sept....

DB's are only allowed to shadow WR's on all routes

encase all DL and OL below the waist in titanium braces

no one is allowed within 3 yards of Gaulden or Croom at all times

hire grad assistant to bubble wrap all WR's and RBs

Don't even look at Bates....

Everyone runs sprints till they puke at the end of each practice...

that should get us where we need to be :p

Butch seems pretty confident in this press conference.

He's probably sitting there thinking: "Yeah, we got Dobbs, JRM, Sutton, Kamara, Hurd, and Barnett....but wait until y'all see Kongbo, Byrd, Taylor, and Gaulden..."

We know what we're getting from Barnett and Vereen.

But man if we see players like Kongbo, Kyle Phillips, Kahlil, Tuttle and Darrell Taylor all take huge steps forward.... this defensive line is gonna wreck teams.

Not to mention the senior bumps we should get from Danny O'Brien and Latroy Lewis.

Edit: I didn't even mention Mixon, Vickers, Picou, Butcher or Austin Smith. Yowza
