OL: Has to continue to improve and have depth to step right in! We are going to have to have a solid OL play this year with one proven RB and new QB play with Gurantano <--- My pick... We need to be able to REDSHIRT people here now. However, Trey Smith needs to be ready and Richmond has to be the beast we all thought he would be! Hall, and this line has to stay healthier while Jack Jones becomes the man among boys. Find your 5 and stick with them and they have to PERFORM-immediately! There's no waiting this year...WE HAVE TO KNOW!
DL: Is going to have to stay healthy... Tuttle has to come back and McKenzie healthy with Vickers, Johnson, Picou, and Bain playing at another level for the continue push inside. Butler and Bennett have to be ready to play in October imo... We have to have DL ready!
DE: Taylor, Phillips, Kongbo, Mixon, McDaniel has to step up on the DE. The Loss is going to be big with Barnett and Vereen gone! And I'm not so sure if Kongbo plays a lot on the DE side of the ball so who's going to step up? Taylor is the MUST PLAY next level for me.
RB: Who's going to ease the reps from Kelly? Kelly is going to have a monster year watch... 1200 yards on the ground & that is much needed. Who is going to help out here? TY? Carl? Whoever it is has to play well enough that the coaches feels comfortable enough to give them 10+ carries a game.
WR: Who steps up in Malone's exit? Jennings? Johnson, Smith, Callaway, Byrd, Williams, or does Murphy come right in? One thing is for sure we can't have injuries here or we are in trouble... Wish Malone would've stayed!
TE: Wolf, wolf, and who? Pope has to become the TE!
QB: To me it's Guarantano's to lose and I truly believe the only thing he has to do is don't lose the game and just make plays when they present themselves! STRETCH the field is a must and run the read when there's a chance just to keep the defense honest. P.S. McBride has to be ready to step in incase of G getting hurt because I don't see Dormady sticking around.
DB/S: Kelly has to stay healthy as does this area... Warrior you are a freak now step up brother! Bring the pain and we've got to find our lock down corner this year. Baylen Buchanan, Justin Martin, or Eman & Osborne... Which one are you going to step and take it???? Safety Kelly, Warrior, Griffin, Berry, & Nickel Gaulden must stay healthy and not beat up like this last year! Shamburger, Bailey, and Gray has to be ready to step up because I'm not so sure who steps up in the CB race! Baylen I thought would but it was almost like he regressed as the year went on?
LB: Who steps up with Kirkland? Just my gut feeling Page, and Ignot are a four year player's and a these guy's are going to be a STUD'S! Will Quart'e Sapp/Daniel Bituli take the next step or how about Berry and McDowell? How about Blakely?... However, they are we've got to have play here this year. I think our DB'S were asked to do to much this year and some of them playing out of position most of the year to try and help with the lack of LB play. JMOT.
K: Just more consistency is all... Has the leg, now do it!
Coaching: Don't play not to lose... No when to get aggressive and when to KEEP the FOOT on the PEDAL! The defense has to find their identity, and the offense has to find unity and their swagger early... We can't be in October trying to figure out who we are if we are then this team is a 6 loss team. Finally, you have to stop with the constant talking Coach, people are tired of hearing it... Take the stance like Coach Barnes. While I agree with 5 star hearts, life champions, and so forth- I'm just tired of hearing it!
I honestly feel we finish 9-3 next year and 10-3 over all... We lose to UGA, Bama, and LSU then play another slow Big Ten team and do the normal! I want Michigan, and or Penn State.
What say you?
What do we have to do?
