Washington will be a little loss for us on defense but he is a terror on special teams coverage so that could hurt a little. Reese and the young guys are a little lost in coverage but that's to be expected.
Francois can be a hot passer at times but I'd rather have him beat us than give Cook big spaces around the LOS with the ball in his hands. If he starts getting loose he can flat wear a defense out like last year. We're gonna have to stick Gardner on that TE of theirs because he's pretty damned good like O'Leary was before him. Make it come down to Francois and his average WR's against Wilson and Tabor........I'm talking to you DBU.....TIME TO PROVE IT.
Oh, and should Francois take off here is a little instructional video to our LBer's on how to handle that situation....

Just another example of how much of a mess chump left for Mac to clean up.

What happened to all of those DBs? I know we've lost a few early to the draft, but did others transfer or not pan out? We only have a couple of CBs on the roster right now (McWilliams? Please!).

Gardner's been a terror on Special Teams. And he's gotten reps at DB too. He's a good athlete and I think he's got a bright future here. Just hope he's ready to step in Saturday.

This is not a case of chimp leaving a mess for mac. In chimp's last 3 classes he signed 12 DBs. 3 washed out, 3 are in the nfl, and 2 are injured, leaving 4 available (tabor, wilson, harris and dawson). I think 4 per year is about the right number of dbs and with only 1/4 washing out and at least half nfl bound (once tabor and Wilson leave) chimp did pretty well at this position in his last three classes.
The reason we might start a true freshman is that mac only signed one DB in his first class.

Yep....might be time to move over a WR or two that aren't contributing (Worton?).

How much practice/learning does it take to convert a WR mindset to a DB mindset ?
Chris Thompson surely has the speed to keep up &/or close. But I worry about mental errors, like in
the 2nd half vs UT ?
If FSU goes roughshod over us, then we've lost the team identity we established vs LSU and
we will be back to yo-yo status that will cause pause in recruits coming here.
Would love a hard-hitting pass rush to rattle Francie and flummox his very being = QB-ing.
Go Gators, it's FSU.

technically two, but Kylan Johnson moved from safety to LB (yes, due to deficiencies recruiting that position)

Rivals had him listed as a DB, but we recruited him as a LB. He was actually a QB in high school.

No we didn't. In fact there are several articles about us moving him from safety to LB this year.

As a gunner Chauncey cleaned the LSU punt returners clock on one punt - I think it was early in the game. He was my favorite recruit and it's good to see him getting some action. I think he'll be fine back there replacing Nick.
