A few thoughts.
Not suprised at all to see Jabari as starting NT. He is the best athlete we have on the DL. Best feet, best hand fighting, and most quickness. Any talk to the contrary was just related to him having to learn his role and "earn" the position. C'mon folks, it's obvious. We are much better off being able to push Gamble to SDE. He will come off the field in obvious passing downs, but he is our best option out there. We need the physicality and size to set the edge better.
I am happy to see that Kallon has held off the freshman for the #2 spot. They are real football players with a longer history in the game than he has. Good for him. It means he has come along some.
I am glad to see Alford in the mix in LB group, but he is the guy coming off the field in the nickel situation. Still, his role is huge. Stopping the run is no joke.
I am not surprised to see Whitehead left off. I was a little underwhelmed by him in a scrimmage I saw last year. He is light in the pants and probably just overtaken by the other kids. It happens. He will have a long time to prove himself. Raising the bar is good for the team, even if it causes casualties.
I am surprised by TaQuan. Hey, maybe he is pretty good at dumping DBs on their heads. We will need it.
Think about RG on offense for a minute. Shamire can push you around at the point of attack like nobody's business and Klock is so athletic he can pull into space with the best of them. What a tandem! Fire and ice.
