im4au 44 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Anyone know his academics? I'd hate to have another Hooks situation. But I really dont want Auburn giving transfer credit for D's no matter what the SEC says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zimas4Ziemba 0 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 If we wanted to sign 6 DTs, I'd be perfectly fine with that. Our defensive tackle play is far and away our biggest area of need on this team. Our coaches are doing a stellar job of addressing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thinking is that there is a great deal of talent already on the team. We have five upperclassmen and two underclassmen, most of them 4* recruits returning. We need some good hands on coaching-up more than anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linebacker depth has been this teams Achilles heel for a while. I think Foster and Cam with Cass and Javiere from last year might start giving us the depth we need. Especially if Frost comes around. Might still need to add one more this year. Sucks losing Trey (as of now). May have been the best group of linebackers we ever recruited. Foster is a REALY important get for this class.

Dude, are you serious? Our secondary play has been absolutely miserable the last several years. I'm really excited about the direction our DBs are headed with the new staff. That said, we have all kinds of problems on D, not just line or backers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People forget we were tenth in the nation against the run that year, but our pass D was 500th. They need the right coaching, and I love that we have Smith on board. That's an area that has to gt better, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The talent is there though with the right coaching...I don't know if the same can be said about our current linbacking corp though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronMan70 3,277 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 We get a pass rush up the middle from our DTs and you will be surprised how good our secondary can be with these new coaches.

We have to be able to get thru the line and make those QB's feel rushed. I agree we do have the talent but more DL players is never a bad thing. In fact, more will only increase the competition for start time...come on Toby, we need ya! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerPaw1 0 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 This would be a pretty big coup to get this kid from UGA. He has seemed a lock to them for sometime now IMO. Will be interesting to see if Garner can sway him to the good guys and if Bradley commits whether or not the two will play with each other again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
