Below is our projected 2017 Defense. I'm usually a glass half empty kind of guy. Sorry. I just don't see this group stopping anyone. Plus, barring a Barnett or Sutton type Freshmen emerging, we probably can't count on any immediate help from out incoming class.
Please explain to me how this group won't continue to set records.
LE Taylor, Smith
DT McKenzie (if he recovers), Johnson, Mosley, Tuttle (if he recovers, probably won't play in 2017)
DT Vickers, Kongbo, Picou, Butcher (probably done-bad knee)
RE Phillips, Mixon, McDaniel (if he returns)
MLB Kirkland, Jumper, Bituli, Bryant
OLB Sapp (if he recovers), Berry, McDowell, Bates, Blakely
N Gaulden, Osborne
CB Martin, Henderson
CB Moseley, Buchanan
S TKj, Warrior
S Abernathy, Griffin, Berry (if he recovers)
