Looks like the starting 5 on the OL this Spring will be

LT: Richardson
LG: Thomas
C: Bullard
RG: Fulton
RT: James

I was telling you that Peterman was having a very impressive offseason about a month ago according to Hubbs. He has bulked up to over 220 lbs. People will be glad Dooley didn't redshirt Worley before it's all said and done.

Jordan Williams got the Hard Knox Defensive MVP after workouts according to his twitter. This is one of the best pure athletic defensive lineman we've had in a long time. Last I heard he was still growing and would be a true DE in the 3-4 instead of a LB. Will be interesting to see his impact as a pass rusher in the 4-3 sets and what they will do with him in 3-4.


Dooley is either happier with the team this year since he is dealing with older players, or he has re-assessed the way he handles the players. He has been more hands-on with them and has tried to be more of a "regular guy." Gave the players two off-days after being impressed with their combine. A couple of weeks ago he conducted a Madden tournament and played against them.


And I love this quote from Sunseri:

"“What I want to do is that I want to put a product on the field where everyone who comes to the stadium says you know what, these guys are playing hard,” Sunseri said. “They are playing reckless. They are giving their bodies up for this University and they are making plays. That's the most important thing. What I'm looking at first is the discipline we come out on the field with. The discipline we play our technique with. Our toughness, our awareness of plays. Being smart and being tough is what we are going to be all about.”

I never understood why so many people were mad at him playing Worley. If he redshirted him, and Worley gets passed on the depth chart that just means 1 more year of where we couldn't use his scholarship.

I'm a little surprised that Dallas knocked Jackson out of the left guard spot...but not shocked. Dallas is a good player

I wouldn't really classify it as knocking him out. It's more like Richardson is going to be making a ton of money for a long time in the NFL one day because he's a freak of nature so you put your best 5 on the field.

Not me. Sounds like regular coach-speak. I remember everyone getting hyped about Clawson, and how cerebral he was. Heistand coming from the NFL was supposed to be all that and a bag of chips.

I've learned enough over the years not to buy into the hype. Best to just wait until they take the field and see what transpires.

What I am hyped about though, is all the offensive talent that we have, and Big Mac on defense.

Thomas at guard, that will be interesting to see how he does at guard, and I hope jordan williams is as good as they say he is he could provide some serious depth at olb

I would like to see Marcus Jackson get a look at Center. That would be a lot of Beef on the O-Line.
