Most gangster quote of all time. Love it.

Very good points all around and especially about Hickman. That's why I'm disappointed in Clark coming in out of shape. I think he could be a difference maker in the run game in sealing the NG. But, like you said, we'll see. Pony up!

Last year, it was Rashee Rice, Tanner Mordecai, Elijah Chatman and Jimmy Phillips.

Predictions for this year? I don't know if Coach Lashlee is likely to name a young guy like Preston Stone, so I'll guess:

Chatman
Justin Osborne
Jordan Kerley
Bryan Massey

I think they are voted on by the team ...

I'm guessing:

White and Bryant at tackles (very large human beings), the future is PJ Williams, need another yung'un to step up for depth.
Osbourne and Parr at guards (lots of competition at the guard spot opposite Osbourne).
Clark at Center, Hickman a very nice depth piece.

That's the defense we need to play. Need the personnel of course.

I'm still working out my opinions about this year/team. I WANT to say: "ok, typical year 1. everything's new. don't judge Lanier or the team on this year at all. next year is the year." however, the losses at Moody just can't be forgiven. We don't lose in Moody. Period. And we lost to some bad teams ...

Carroll would be my candidate there. Lavender could end up being Beasley ish.

For me, it's all about defense. Could we get better on O? Of course, but need a NT and LB more than anything. A blocking TE would be ideal and I'm really shocked about Matthews. I figured he was next up. I really don't know what's going on with him. Also shocked about Adimora. Thought he'd be the ...

I hope I'm dead wrong and it's the complete opposite. I really hope the team comes fired up and ready to send the seniors out on a high note. Folks like RR / Chatman should lead the hype. We'll see. It's not a primetime game so who knows, maybe.

- Phillips, Reid, Massey - All of them just watched players run by on those returns.

- Drops are really surprising. That was not a problem in fall camp - in fact players like Goffney and Daniels were making absolutely crazy fingertip catches and grabbing everything that came their way. With Rice ...

And an extra 2 days of rest for the final home game. We need to take it to the tiggers. But, first, Tulane. GOT to get that dub!

All comes down to our defense. Will they get off the plane? Can we slow Spears and get after Pratt? Do that, and I like our chances. Do it not and it will suck to watch. And if Reid continues to lollygag (or anyone for that matter), pull them! Need Wright at 100%(ish).
