Marcello has to be the worst at inside info

Just from a few days ago, while the other two sites were saying he was leaning to staying

Several of these positions could change. For example: we fully expect defensive tackle Derrick Brown to enter the NFL Draft, so he's not on the chart. We also have three potential early departures to the NFL listed on the depth chart still (and those are noted as you will see below).
 
DL is going to be much better than I expected. Especially if Marlon comes back too.

Problem is who the hell is going to play LB? We got 1 back up with minimal experience, a Frosh and bunch of walk ons I have never heard of...and unless we get about 4 more in the late period we don’t seem to be loading up this year.

I’m high on Britt, I’m unsure on the other inside guy but there is some talent there. I’ve heard good things about Harris and McClain and I guess Pappaoe could play.

We may actually be better at LB. At least more athletic.
 
I’m more concerned with the secondary personally that and Gus’s offense.

I think the secondary will come down to whether or not we play the best players.

Sherwood and Smoke need to start at safety.

Agree with you at Safety but I don’t trust our corners to play as much man as Steele wants to.
 
Noah Iggy is gonna be a legit stud at corner. Guess we’ll see about stutts but I think they’re gonna be good.

No way we’re better at LB though with losing three seniors and one of the best AU LBs of all time. Even though I do think Britt will be legit but no one is immediately replacing an nfl LB in D Williams either

No way next year. I have been high on Britt’s ability from day 1, but he looks lost out there at times. At this point he should mentally way ahead of where he is (at least that’s what I was told). Zakoby is talented, but light and not ready to start. No one else is SEC caliber at this point. If Owen has to start, or play significant time we will get runt over. I don’t see 3 or 4 guys that I would trust playing significant minutes much less start. DD will be really really missed. Just don’t see how we continue to leave these huge gaps in ready to play talent year in and year out. Just like RB and OL this year. Shows how awful gump is at planning for more than the here and now. Meanwhile uga and bama have enough 5* talent at LB to loan us their 2nd, or 3rd teams and I would be happy.

You heard anything about Wooten?

That will be the biggest/hardest thing to replace, Dd's leadership and ability to call the defense. But from an athletic standpoint, Britt is superior. I really like McClain. I also really like Wooten. I think a wildcard could be Harris. Talent is there, just hope his head is on straight now

JMO
 
Boogs gonna have legit nfl size in the front four and Britt will be a monster. It’s not gonna be an issue if McClain is moderately undersized. Atkinson was too and he was pretty damn good
 
Have not heard much about Harris or Wooten. Wish they would have got some PT this year. Maybe they did and I missed it. Hopefully they will be ready.

Wooten started at least one game.

No doubt. DL will be stout and as talented as any front 4 in the nation, but you are talking about having an entire LB’er unit (starters and backups) that have never started a single game. Add to it if your MLB has to be the one calling the defense and he is not mentally capable of doing that yet what do you do? He is still just a baby so hopefully the light comes on in year 3.
 
He played quite a bit
As a fellow Gregger, and one that cares about your emotional well being while you are posting, remember who your head coach is at all times. Expectations amongst your boog bretheren have been rising since the meaningless bowl game. Suddenly the defense is coming back. We may have a new shiny weapon or two that has been recruited, Saban just lost, etc... etc... the higher expectations get, the more likely that Gus dissapoints them. Don’t get sucked into the must win next year or will be gone vortex. Just sit back and repeat 8-5 8-5 large buyout 8-5.

Saw some early poll and the boogs play 6 top 12 teams. 8-5 sounding pretty good.
