McLoofus 35,182 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Jermaine Whitehead is the clear leader at one safety, but Johnson said Rudy Ford has moved ahead of Derrick Moncrief at the other spot.... Johnson also said DE LaDarius Owens is dealing with an infection from one of his surgeries. "Nothing serious," but it's limiting his reps. ... Trovon Reed has been moved to field CB with Jonathan Jones, while Jonathon Mincy (minor shoulder injury) is back at boundary CB. ... Johnson: "We feel like right now, our two best corners are Mincy and Jones." He said Holsey is still "limited" in his return from injury. ... Johnson stresses that Holsey has fully recovered from his knee injury, but the team doctors want his reps limited at this point in camp. ... Johnson: "Right now, it's not clear-cut who the third linebacker would be." He mentions Anthony Swain and true freshman Tre' Williams. ... Johnson: "I still think our two-deep is a bit murky." The coaching staff was scheduled to evaluate the entire team with yesterday's off day. .. Johnson: "I was disappointed in our (Tuesday) scrimmage overall...mainly the guys fighting for the two-deep." ... Johnson said the team started preparing a bit for Arkansas today. He said that will go full-speed next week, after classes start on Monday. ... Johnson: "In our conference, I'm not big on redshirting...if you're redshirting him, you're probably recruiting over him." @JFergusonAU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravejd 3,270 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Surprise about Ford but I see that as a good thing and not a bad thing that he is challenging Moncrief and has passed him. Major LOL to those dissing on Whitehead. Disappointed that Toney hasn't stepped up at LB. I was hoping he would be coming along at this point. Hate to hear Holsey is still limited. But hopefully he will continue to improve with reps and it would be awesome to have a 2 deep at CB this year so guys don't have to play every snap. Not sure I like the redshirt comments. They may be true but I don't see redshirting as a bad thing like Johnson seems to indicate. Some guys just need a year or 2 to build themselves up. I'd be afraid this commit could discourage those who get redshirted....or it could motivate them for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmot 0 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I'm trying to decide if Ellis is purposefully playing the defense down, because if he isn't, we are paper thin on defense going into the Arkansas game. My whole outlook on the season is getting a downgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronMan70 3,277 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Seeing limited action: Owens- infection Lambert- back spasms Lawrence- knee strain Mincy- battling a shoulder injury. Holsey- still not 100% after knee surgery, slightly re-injured knee in practice but said to be ok. Therezie- not getting many reps.(reason not official yet) Well we have 2 weeks to get healed up and then it's showtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerbrotha12 2,362 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Have been very dissapointed with our inability to be able to stay healthy, and/or stay out of trouble; First Lawson and Kozan go down, now Marshall and Mincy in trouble, now Therezie with a huge mishap, Holsey getting injured yet again, almost becomes a "what now" when you hear about these things.

mcgufcm 4,096 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I'm not worried about Owens. They aren't holding him out of practice altogether, which tells me, if it was a game, he'd play. He doesn't need a ton of reps. He needs to be mentally prepped. Lambert is another story. He needs reps in the defense, but he should be fine by opening kick. We, the public, have known about Therezie for a week, which tells me the coaches adjusted to that idea two weeks ago. Holsey may be limited early, but he and Mincy are going to be a great pair at BCB. Not good. Great. On the whole, the only real question marks are where the pass rush comes from (or at least who the DE rotation will be) and who the third/fourth LBs will be. Other than that, I think we have a pretty clear 2-deep. DE - Owens, Lambert, Daniel, Wright, and possibly Lawrence or a freshman DT - Wright, Bradley, Adams, Whitaker, and Blackson LB - McKinzy and Frost, and guesses after that FCB - Jones and Reed FS - Whitehead BS - Ford and Moncrief BCB - Mincy and Holsey That's not a particularly thin defense.

JwgreDeux 1,279 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I see the news about Ford as a good thing, that players are stepping up. All the injury talk makes me nervous, especially with guys who have been injured before. On RT, why would CEJ say he may not be able to play early, either he is suspended or not. I get it if you don't want to announce it, but seems odd to say he may not be able to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bg5 536 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I wonder if Ellis is trying to challenge Moncrief by saying Ford has moved past him. If it is true though I think that is going to be a postion of strength for us. I do think we are thin though. I think the starters will be pretty good and much improved from last year but if we start to get dinged up as the season goes on we could be in trouble.

Milnewd 0 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 The move comes on the heels of Derrick Moncrief's absence from several practices due to a virus and dehydration. The junior college transfer emerged as the top boundary safety in the spring and drew rave reviews, but has fallen behind a tad because of his illness. Defensive coordinator Ellis Johnson said Moncrief and Ford are "pretty even," but Moncrief's absence was enough to push Ford ahead on the depth chart -- at least temporarily.

WDavE 332 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I believe Moncrief has been ill and hasn't had many reps. Thus Rudy has moved in front... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AubTiger14 0 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Therezie will be out half the year. Injuries are starting to pile up. Still think our defense will be good but the depth is starting to look a little shaky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey 16,598 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 One reason Johnson's remarks about Therezie are less than clear could be that Therezie has filed an appeal and that's not settled yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is no legal trouble, ie he failed internal tests, then what is there to appeal? You don't get to appeal when you fail a drug test for employment, licensing, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't get to appeal when you fail a drug test for employment, licensing, etc. Perhaps he's claiming a false positive on a test. Could be any number of things. I, for one, hope he can fight through whatever he's got going on and get back on the field ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
