The offense is a complete unknown. If all the sudden it takes off, we should have a pretty good season next year. However nothing has shown us over the last couple years that that's even a remote possibility. If the offense doesn't take off, then the defense will get absolutely carved. We just don't have enough guys on the D line and our defensive backfield will consist of freshman because of the abomination in DB recruiting last year.
The only positive regarding our defense is that a ton of guys got reps last year. Which means they're not going to be noobs.
I think you're off here a little bit. I'm confident Gardner will be an all conference player for us at some point. He's the real deal.
Lenton and Taylor are an unknown, but you might be on to something with the Burnett and the Williamson kid. The back end
is really the least of my worries on defense next year. I see Duke and Chauncey at the corners to start with Marcel and Washington at safety.
Maybe Blades or Wilson wins a job allowing us to play duke at nickel, like he did all season. By 2018 I expect Chauncey to take over at safety with Wilson and Blades the starting corners.
