Great stuff Justin. I really agree with your thoughts on Walker and Cooper.

good stuff, I'd put Langley near the top of the list though, that d-line has to be shored up.

Nothing.

I was just wondering why that guy acted so sure then smiled.

Donald will be nothing more than a special teams player this season.

2 years from now, he might be an All-American Linebacker, but in the 2008 season, he's not going to do much.

Hey Groves, do you think that Donald is all that he was hyped up to be. I know he was a 5 star and the best linebacker in the country in highschool but I think that the level of talent that he was playing against may have made him look better than he really is. I'm from west Tennessee and the teams around here aren't the best talent. I was concerned about this when we got him. I still think that he will work his way into the starting position someday but I'm not sold on him being a superstar. If he doesn't do a better job in the classroom, we won't be hearing his name any in the future. What do you think. Have you seen any film from highschool or seen him play?

I've seen him play once in person and a lot of highlight films.

Donald will be fine. He was primarily a rush LB. Once he learns to make his reads etc (i.e. learns to play LB) he'll be fine. He just won't be an instant impact guy.

A year or two down the road, he'll be a starter. Maybe not a star, but a starter.

We are replacing a 4 year starter at QB, 2 DEs, a 4 year starter at FS, a LT and 2 TEs, and somehow Cody Sullins found his way onto this list?

A player who plays a position we will use only on short yardage and goal line is at #1?

Sorry man, but come on.

Good job Justin. Enjoyed the read. Interesting that Walker is our best pure pass rusher given he was supposed to be a LB.

Ummm...Hefney was not a 4 year starter at FS. Also, Cooper will most likely be the starting FB. Just because Cut didn't use a FB doesn't mean Clawson won't use one. I think Justin knows a little bit more about the players than you, he hasn't been wrong about them yet.

Actually, he was recruited for both. The coaches told him that before he got here, and 84 usually is a DE number.
