Diaz got away with bringing heavy pressure because our DBs were good enough to play man coverage. Will we be able to do that again next year?
Defense Next year (?)
- Thread starter RickinDayton
- Start date
Yep, who knows. Tracy and Washington, as well as Miller, look like talented CB's, but they are young. Smith and Franklin hit the jackpot when they got Dixon in the portal. Last years incoming CB transfer Collins is still very young but the staff must have seen something in him to accept him. Dixon took a year to work into the rotation so maybe Collins will get stronger in the S&C program and be ready in 2024. But a ready to play CB is likely a prioritiy in the Portal. The Safety's sure look to be a strength for 2024 and they seem to cover pretty well when called upon.
You guys aren’t talking up Winston enough. The kid is special and played at a high level at the end of the year
You forgot about Smith Vilbert @ DE who didn't play this year. Does he return? Don't know but him playing would be helpful.
Since it appears Manny is Duke's next HC, I would like to have Poindexter (currently on staff) be selected as thee new DC. I believe he would do a great job.

Does Hardy have eligibility next year (COVID year?) and if so has he expressed that he will be back? Would be huge for defense and PR if so.
To be brutally honest, I’m hoping Beamon decides to move on and Ellies decides to stay.
Maybe Barnham could play inside if he comes and rojas on the outside? Maybe a new DC brings a 3-4 and we can play all the talented LB's.
I said AS OF NOW. WHAT PART OF AS OF NOW, WHICH WAS WEEKS AGO, DON'T U UNDERSTAND MORON.
Haha settle down Nancy boy. The writing was all over the wall. Can't help you couldn't see it. I didn't make my original post because I was guessing.
That is a solid defense. If he returns then I believe Smth Vilbert along with Fisher & Lyons will be a solid 5 man DE rotation.
I still think there is a chance the DB King returns as well.
You would have to think that JF would have a very big talk with KLS before he comes back.
We never really heard much more of what the cause and who were the causes of the WR Room turmoil. I thought we would hear a ton of movement already with that position.
I think he drops to a 2/3 eval and thats why he will return. I haven't seen him on many 1st round mocks lately.
TreVeyon didn't.
Then again as I said, CFP coaches get players to stay, and non CFP coaches have them leave.
Rumor has it that Ohio State will give him more $$$$ in NIL than he would get going to the league.
Doubtful. Highly doubtful. 2nd round pick guaranteed money vs what they can pay for one season. I call bs
Definitely have not seen him on 1st round lists lately. Have you seen any 2nd round projections?
King is a 4th round pick at best. He should return but he won't. After all we encourage all our guys to leave unless they are locker room cancers who dog it on pass patterns and commit stupid unsportsmanlike conduct penalties.
I do t follow a lot of mocks but the ones I do haven’t had him in round 1 recently. Cbs and Walter camp.
Every mock I’ve seen has him in first or second round so far. If he doesn’t shit the bed during combine he will be in that range
Isaac will do what he needs to do to bring financial security to his mother and family. His mother has had a very, very hard life.
