I sure hope the secondary is better. The comment that 75% is returning does not make me feel real comfortable.

The D-LINE is still small in my books. I look for Adami to be fantastic AGAIN and I sure hope that Jones and Bonds stay strong all year.

Maybe we can get some help somewhere?

No mention of Harris in the saftey picture?

C'mon Bus. Spill it. You've been hinting for two months.

I am optimistic about defensive and special teams improvement this fall.

Come-on offense.

about Harris, it is my understanding that he is moving to outside lb.

I like the idea of Rico at LB, although if he doesn't get all the way back in the speed department, he'll have a tough time unseating the young guys, Muse and Cleveland.

What do y'all make of Fitzgerald and Ieremia-Stansbury at LB? I think with the size he added after moving to DE, Ieremia-Stansbury could be a monster at MLB, although it's crowded there with Lee, Carrington and Hall.

I don't know enough about Fitzgerald to have an opinion there. But I sure like the increased depth.

No mention of Cole Horton. Is he still playing? Has he moved to the DLine? I was under the impression the coaches liked his potential a lot.

According to the roster, Harris is still at saftey, we will see though.

I would guess that Stansbury would be used at OLB, as would Fitz. We definately have improved speed at that position. Moving those two players, and with McCrary coming in the fall, gives us three deep at that position. That spot didn't have a lot of depth before.

Bennett said earlier this year he wanted to be three deep at each position. With the moving of Swofford to FB and Glockzin to TE, he now has that at every position except OT.
