Looking forward to our skilled guys like Proche Quinn Jones Epps etc. going wild with the amount of coverage and attention Courtland is going to draw by opposing defenses.

Depth is great! It isn't as critical as in the past!

The coaches and players all think the talent is there for a massive season. Only potential roadblock is a very difficult road schedule.

This x10.

I can't imagine there are three DB's on any team in our conference who will be able to stay with this group. And I can absolutely see the coaches selling Quinn on the idea of playing with Courtland:
"They're gonna have to double team Courtland - have to. So that means all you have to do is beat the third best DB on an AAC team and catch the ball. You'll have the opportunity to run wild on this team."

Yep. This team will be exciting to watch.
Courtland's success and media attention like this should continue to spark quality recruit interest. Quality of depth improving each year. 2018 class looking very solid as well.

And also possibly a weak LB group.

Also the fact that we have three backs that are all good enough to go for 1,000 yards if they had the backfield to themselves + A. Thomas who has been great so far in spring games, camp etc. What is a defense going to do? Sutton said it himself in the interview, 90% of the time he is on an island its going to be a catch or pass interference. So teams are going to most likely have to put a safety over him, which frees up a lot of running room in the box for these guys. Not to mention if Peavy or Gillens get the Qb job, they are a threat to run also. So many weapons on offense it is really exciting to think about the potential, just hope the O-line is decent and the defense can get the ball back to these guys.
