[QUOTE="RLR, post: 100676, member: 486"] Well, in 2008 we had 5 future NFL defensive linemen on our roster Vance Walker, Darryl Richard, Derrick Morgan, Michael Johnson, TJ Barnes. Last year we had Attouchu and Watts and both were drafted. Personally, I'd take this season over both 2008 & 2013. So ya, maybe our defensive line and linebackers could be better this year, but overall, I'd still say our 9-2 team is pretty talented. That said, I would have prefered not losing these defensive linemen over the summer: [LIST=1] [*]Whitehead (7.5 sacks RSFR year at NCST) [*]JHD (3 year starter, but more importantly 4 star!) [*]Anthony Williams (big, fast 4 star DE) [*]Kevin Robbins [*]Travin Henry [*]Darius Commissiong [*]Justin Atkins [*]Jimmy Kitchens [/LIST] But on the brightside, losing these 8 players did clear room on our depth chart for Kellon, who is as big and as fast and as highly rated as recruits come to GaTech. Moreover, I'm really disappointed at CPJ and Ted Roof for our current recruiting class. I mean sure, Freeman has played well, especially for a freshman, but have you seen how small he is? No way he could play for Alabama. And don't even get me started at LB! Did you know Paul Davis is not even 6 feet tall and was a 2 star recruit in HS! And he's starting for us! And if you look at our current freshman and recruits, it's not getting better anytime soon. Simmons may have had 29 sacks his senior year of HS, but he's too skinny to even be on our roster. Did you know that neither Henderson or Glanton weigh over 300 lbs? Or maybe, just maybe, there's more to a football player than how tall he is, how fast his hs coach times him running the 40, and how many stars a 40 year old dude sitting in an interior office at rivals assigns to him. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for signing a great recruit, Saint-Amour I'm talking to you. But when you look at (1) what this team has accomplished (2) the unprecedented number of losses this offseason (3) # GT alum currently playing in the NFL (4) current talent at just about every other position besides the two you mentioned and (5) young talent / recruiting momentum, I don't think your statements are at all warranted.
