Nate Cottrell out for year, Mikell Lands-Davis moves to A-back

[AE 87]

The D is a big reason we won the VT, Clemson, and UGA games last year. If we had lost those three there would be a much different vibe right now.

VPI averaged 1.36 ppd versus pwr5 def last year. They scored 2ppd vs us and still lost. CU averaged 1.82 ppd vs pwr 5 D, and if we had kicked the FG from the 15 as time expired, our O would've scored 2 ppd.

We did better v Georgie who averaged 3.12 ppd against pwr5 and scored 2.43 ppd vs us (this doesn't count their D score).

We could move Br.,.. nah I can't do it.

...ad to AB.

I think what everyone wants to say (but won't) is that Brad needs to play DT alongside JHD so that we can move Gotsis out to SDE. Then Roof just has to sit back and watch his coaching stock rise.

Is this guy really this delusional? <google it>

Are you like 12? How has anything you said changed the fact that Marcus Allen is still #1 on the depth chart?

The guy is totally trolling...that must be it.

Can we get back to the point of the thread? Start a D thread somewhere else please.

This one is easy to answer...No :-(

Not picking on you, but you do the same with a certain WR.

I got what you were doing, but you don't seem to appreciate that you and your son really go way beyond normal. You should take seriously your feedback, imo, fwiw.

No....I mean that what I saw is why he is behind a freshman and a transfer.

Who said anything about him being behind a freshman and a transfer?

College football in general has changed and defense isn't as good because of the way offense is now. But to sit here and be fine with Ted is disturbing to me. He hasn't done anything to whoa me. When he was here his first time, he didn't whoa me neither. Maybe firing him was a little to much but if the D struggles again this year, his seat could be warming up. If anyone doesn't like it then I ask for you to just look up the stats. It's terrible other than the turnover margin. I don't want him gone but he needs to improve his side of the ball. We have a lot of guys back on D so there is no excuse this year. He has to do better or else!

I think he did an amazing job last year considering the decimation of the defensive line before the season even began. Then we saw improvement as the season wore on. You throw in the recruiting he has done and he has impressed me a lot.

Honestly, you can't just look at the stats. We lost 4 defensive linemen in the off season last year. We started a true freshman that weighed about 30 lbs less than he should at DE. We had some horrible games on D, but the guys made plays when it mattered, and to me at least some of that is coaching. 99% of us agree that we have to be better because we will revert to the mean in turnovers, but we should put last year's team in context.

Roof got a bad rap in his first stint with us, but if we perform like those teams we will be tough to beat. We had so e Top 30 defenses with Roof.

You've got absolutely no room to talk. You and Dottie are the founding members of the BBB.

I for one am excited about MA. I wasn't blown away with the spring game, but if he can put on some muscle(he was around 200lbs during the spring game) he has a chance to be good this year. Over the long term I feel like MM is the answer, but Allen should be more than servicable this year.

The positive is that he will have a full year for recovery and I will be glad that potentially we can have him for 1 more year.

But he won't be able to practice to get the timing and angles down; and won't be able to practice the most important aspect - blocking. I'm glad it isn't a total year loss but it still sucks.

Hope he gets ahead in his studies and works hard where he can.

Mm...VT, Clemson qbs and UGA rbs not holding on to the ball the reason we won those games
