Defensive Depth Chart 2021

[GBHOR]

If Trask returns, EJ transfers.

I'll take that

 

[neteng]

Seriously, next year we will probably wish we had this year's defense. It's been the trend since Mullen took over.

Wow.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

Better be hitting that portal hard.

We have almost no slots.

One thought is that perhaps somebody like Campbell could come back. Seems unlikely though since he was SJWing and sat out part of the season himself. Dunlap maybe.

it's actually kind of surprised that the ventral was only a RS Junior. that helps a bunch in my mind because as bad as he is in past coverage and he is atrocious he's still solidifies the run game a bunch.

 

[Bernardo de la Paz]

ANY senior can return, period.

Well, I'm also seeing play 5 in 6.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2020/10/14/ncaa-winter-sports-extra-eligibility/

The NCAA’s Division I Council voted to give eligibility relief to winter-sport athletes regardless of how many games they play during the 2020-21 academic year. Athletes now have the opportunity to play five seasons within a six-year span rather than the typical four seasons in five years.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

Do we expect Carter to be gone?

I do. He's going to grade out really well. He was very solid this year easily our best defensive lineman, probably grading better than Slaton. I know some of you only look at sacks but that's not the way the scouts work. they will look at least as much at run defense.

Of course if he returns he he helps a bunch but will unfortunately probably get pushed inside again.

Bern, ANY senior can come back next year. That's the rule. No matter what your google search finds. The NCAA is full of retards. I've seen the same things you're finding. But ANY senior can return next year. Dunlap ain't going to the NFL, he should come back. I doubt Carter, Campbell or Slaton return, but if they do it's a bonus. We need Dunlap & Lang to get better this off-season as they are our only upperclassman. Plus we need at least 1 transfer. But we only have 2 spots, if that, for transfers. So getting Dunlap (or one of the others) to return is like getting a free transfer. Dunlap's not very good, but he plays hard and will give us 20+ snaps a game - and like I said earlier, as it stands, he'd probably be a starter. They love playing him at NT on 3rd and long.

 

[78]

We could field 11 cardboard cutouts next year and still be improved.

not likely.

I know some some of you are riding off this year as "it is just Wuhan" but that is silly.

The reasons the defense look bad this year is because the offense is learned from LSU last year.

Even Bammer is not playing ball control and just burning the clock. The majority of the SEC is finally paying attention and realizing how soft the SEC defenses are against the pass game. luckily Kinfuchy, Tinerc, Chumpcucks, and Vamdy stuck in the past giving us easy wins.

I really hope Dan doesn't lurch too far back to the run game with EJ. we will still be able to beat everyone else in the East other than Ugly running Danball but that's about it that's about it.

You somehow missed the stellar job we did of stopping Najee on the ground.

You're right. Straight from the NCAA:

DI Council extends eligibility for winter sport student-athletes

Winter sport student-athletes who compete during 2020-21 in Division I will receive both an additional season of competition and an additional year in which to complete it, the Division I Council decided. The same flexibility was provided to student-athletes after the spring season was canceled in 2020 and the fall season was seriously impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Why do people say this like it's a problem?

 

[Albert]

I’ll be real curious to see where Diwun Black fits in next years rotation. A better way to put that may be how this staff misuses his talent...

 

[Spurdog98]

We could field 11 cardboard cutouts next year and still be improved.

I wa thinking traffic cones but whatevs.

 

[Bernardo de la Paz]

So what about the seniors in the secondary?

Davis probably goes to the draft, but do we renew scholarships for Stiner or Stewart?

he's going to be a lot like Dean and Burney, a heavy safety or outside linebacker which we really don't have a position for in this defense.

I will cut you.

Stewart probably gets drafted late. actually has some good game film. a lot of teams are going to think he's a talented player with horrific coaching in a horrific scheme.

 

[Bernardo de la Paz]

I will cut you.

Mullenz gonna Mullen.

 

[GatorJ]

he will be a starter somewhere. Not sure where though.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

I don't think he's even played football in 3 years.
