If Cam stays, how filthy will this defense be next year?

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

DE: Derrick Barnett/Kyle Phillips/Latroy Lewis
DT: Kahlil McKenzie/Alexis Johnson
DT: Shy Tuttle/Derrick Brown (hopefully)/Kendall Vickers
DE: Corey Vereen/Darrell Taylor

WLB: Jalen Reeves-Maybin/Quarte Sapp
MLB: Darrin Kirkland Jr./Kenny Bynum
SLB: Austin Smith/Cortez McDowell

CB: Cam Sutton/Micah Abernathy
CB: Justin Martin/Emmanuel Moseley
NB: Rashaan Gaulden/Malik Foreman
FS: Todd Kelly Jr./Nigel Warrior
SS: Stephen Griffin/Evan Berry

For the first time in a long time we'll have experienced talent starting across the board. And true freshmen are gonna need to be special to break into the 2 deep.

I think this can be a top 20 defense nationally if we keep Cam and land some stud recruits like Nigel Warrior and Derrick Brown.

Cam be GONE...$$$

 

[Volsick]

The biggest recruiting that needs to take place this off season is making sure Cam, and JRM both stay a vol next year. We will be loaded on D next year if they do.

 

[Vol_til_I_die]

Don't sleep on Vickers or Lewis. They have both played pretty well this year. A little more consistency and they both will be monsters.

JRM is a fantastic player, but I think he's too undersized to leave early

I know another year of SEC football will make him a first rounder for sure next year.

 

[puckernuts]

It will depend on if they go to artificial turf or not

 

[DaddyChad]

Honestly we thought the defense would be loaded this season and we have underperformed.

Our defense will be very good next year, but 2 bubble-busters here:

Cam ain't staying

Nigel Warrior is anybody's guess as of right now.

 

[salutethehill]

Cam has given us enough of his time and health. It's time to go get paid.

And this sucks! Being a legacy and all I wish he was in the fold already.

 

[VOL 4 Life 83]

Don't forget about Dillon Bates. Have a feeling he will ball out once completely healthy. With our DL fully healthy our secondary should benefit tremendously.

 

[Volstate]

The same crap is said year after year. We always think "next year" how awesome we are gonna be because this player or that player will be here. I still see our secondary as being trash next year unless Butch lands a couple dead ringer freshman. Cam is going to the NFL so don't waste your energy wishing he's not.

Yeah I'm really hoping Bates can give us some good special teams/defensive snaps next year. Would hate to see him buried on the depth chart after 2 years in the program.

If this line up doesn't get you drinking orange kool-aid, nothing will!

 

[dhb92]

Missing Butcher at DE and Bates at LB

 

[Jdh13579]

Our front 7 will be able to play with anybody. Our secondary is still trash and probably will be next year too.

 

[Other_Guy]

As filthy as they were going to be this year

(Where's the blue font button....)

 

[VoltillweFall]

Darrel Taylor..... Striker Clone #BEAST

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

Cam is more than likely gone. Most projections have him as a mid 1st round to high 2nd round pick. Not sure about Warrior, but Doug Matthews seems to think Jauan Jennings will move to safety. I think he would have a huge impact there.

 

[LordBolton]

Cam has given us enough of his time and health. It's time to go get paid.

I like Sutton, I think he is destined to play on Sundays, but he's not ready IMHO. I see him get burned at least a couple times each week, some very costly errors. He got lost a few times against SC, not exactly a NFL level opponent. All joking aside about us being better off if he stays (obvious we would), he would be much better off if he stays.

 

[hardyemt_p]

He gone

 

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

Honestly we thought the defense would be loaded this season and we have underperformed.

We were counting on true freshmen to start last year. We won't need any true freshmen to start next year to be really good.

 

[Orange_Vol1321]

Honestly we thought the defense would be loaded this season and we have underperformed.

Its called injuries and even at that we have done pretty good. Just gassed with no depth.

 

[GVol1966]

Average.
Just from seeing what they are now and they improve a little.
