2016 Defense POSBANG

Submitted by 1464 on
This is first posbang thread I've ever made. I very rarely ever post in them, either. I just wanted a way to let everyone know this....

Jourdan Lewis, Jabrill Peppers, Rashan Gary.

What do I mean by that? Well, one of those players is going to be the third best defender on our team next year. Let that sink in for a little.

That is just amazing. I don't see anyone being able to compete against that defense next year, except OSU. I am sure THE GAME would be a fun one next year (for us).

I haven't been this excited for the start of a season since...last year! But you know what I mean. With this new talent, Doc Brown, O' Korn, Walker, and a killer freaking defense?! We are gonna be a good team!

Can you allow negative points on defense for a per game average? The part of me that wants to have unrealistic expectations is thinking that it might be possible with this team. 

In all seriousness, this defense is shaping up to be a very nice one indeed. It will be fun to watch how things shake out, particularly as we head into August and fall camp.

I'm going to call you Plaxico from here on out.  Got so excited to post that the gun went off in your pocket and you shot yourself in the ass.  (metaphorically of course). 

But I hit you with a + anyway.  Because..  2016 D y'all!!!

I know your comment is mostly tongue-in-cheek, but great DL and secondary play can certainly help make the LBs look a lot better than they are.  And as you point out, the DL and secondary look pretty damn good even without the stellar (hah!) additions we got today.

Hopefully the LBs improve over the course of the season to be "combat serviceable" or better, because we will need them for our away rivalry games.

Ryan Glasgow and Chris Wormley at the moment are better than Gary.  He needs one full year in the weight room before he really explodes.

I'd like to see Hurst have a breakout year like Henry did. I'd like to see Taco turn into a monster like we've been predicting. If someone like these two step it up this upcoming season, watch out.

Pay raise, sudden vast quantities of talent, and now we sign the #1 player in the country. Dude's gotta be asking people to pinch him. Should be a fun few years for him till he retires
