RG7 should never turn his back to the LOS again for the rest of his playing career. He should be coming down hil at the snap EVERY PLAY

I'm not sold on Osbourne but I sure as hell hope he beats out 12

12 needs to be on the pine most of the time. Tired of seeing him getting smoked. He'll get good practice reports as always but when it's time to perform on Saturday he'll crap his pants.

Could TKJr move down a play LB?

In theory, yeah. But IDK who he plays in front of at OLB. He's not gonna be more physical than guys like McDowell or Sapp (though he might be better in space).


I'm torn on Kelly TBH. I think his instincts in coverage are pretty good. As good as anyone in our secondary atm. But I'm not sure he has the athleticism to be a game breaker or anything.

Plus, with Griffin gone, we'll only have 3 non-freshmen safeties (plus Gaulden maybe) availble for 2016. Probably not the best idea to move Kelly down to OLB when one injury at safety means we have to move him right back essentially.

IMO it will be best to use all 3 of our safeties in some type of rotation. If Warrior can get a full grasp of the playbook and be disciplined, he's probably the most dynamic and complete safety we'll have. Kelly and Abernathy both have some strengths and weaknesses where I can see them rotating situationally.

Not sold on Osborne? He was just a freshman last year...my lord. How bout some of you guys actually give some of these players a chance before writing them off.

#12 Isn't my cup of tea at all.

I think #3 has some nice upside. Should develop into a tough CB for us.

Gaulden versus Georgia showed his impact in the box and all over the place.

Waiting to see how a guy does with an increased workload before penciling him in as a starter isn't necessarily writing someone off.

It's arguablly more fair than hyping someone up before they've had a chance to show what they can do.

Yes I wrote him off, that's exactly what I typed. Stop reading what you want to read. So it's now far fetched to have questions about a true sophomore to be a starter. Seriously. Stop making up **** to be outraged about

Well when a single post has a hint of anti-Semitism, mixed with a lack of sensitivity for mental illness, plus includes derogatory name calling of the disabled then that post is not a demonstration of a lack of cleverness.

I would think a military man, of all people, would show a little more respect to all three category of people. Or, maybe he's just National Guard.

You are something very special to degrade anyone that has served regardless of branch :wacko::jpshakehead:

You're joking right? You must be joking because there is no way you are serious.

Hasn't been a lot of talk about Croom, Verern, Danny O. and Wiesman on here. Any of those guys get drafted with a great pro day?
