Woods.

Kelly reporting that's he's out for the year with an Upper Body injury. Reported to be back for next spring.

Dang. I thought Coach Pelton's question and answer about Woods was "interesting". Hate it.

 

[Whiskey_Clear]

Was hoping we'd be able to shirt him but not due to injury. Hope it heals / rehabs well.

I hate it too was hoping he could contribute on the DL this yr but they said they were going to probly red shirt him this yr but you never know with injuries,but hope he gets better and get in the weight room during the season and learn the DL plays he's going to be good for us i think

Could be a blessing in disguise instead of burning his redshirt this year to only play 20 snaps.

I honestly feel more comfortable with the older DEs on our roster (despite their lack of sacks) than counting on a T-Fr to contribute. At the ends we have Freeman, Simmons, Rook, and Saint Amour who have all played significant minutes, so he'd have to blow the doors off to fit in that rotation. I have high hopes for some of these guys (Freeman and Saint Amour could be a great combo this year), think they've barely scratched the surface of what they can do. It definitely sucks for Woods, though, hopefully he comes back next year as a beast.

Branch...yeah he should be more ready to contribute than Woods as well. He's another one I am excited to see this year, but I didn't even mention him as he hasn't played for us yet. I think we have some legitimately talented guys at the end spots, I can see our pass rush improving this year if they can tap into it.

Branch will likely play some on pass rush downs, and because of his size could rush from DT (with Simmons, Freeman, and St Amour available to rush from DE). Fall practice could have changed that. A pass rush from Kallon, Branch, St Amour (or Freeman), and Simmons might be an effective group.
