At end of the show previewing next week.

D-line has been weak. Palmer says it's time for them to step up.


I think everyone agrees & I expect this will fire them up.
We'll be ready to Geaux.

Our DEs can be blocked straight up, allowing teams to double team Freak. Ego is decent enough. If we could get some pressure from the outside Freak could be more productive.

No doubt there has been a reduction in D-Line pressure. However, our D-Line rotation is smaller than it has been in several years...We have been spoiled playing 8 to 11 D Lineman per game...This year that is no longer the case

A 6'2" 260lb kid from Furman ate freak up...man on man...no double team...he is just not very good.

I'm not willing to say he's no good...but unfortunately I noticed what you're talking about so it's harder to not say he is closer to that than his high recruiting status.

At what point do you start calling it what it is? I like the guy but he is am average player in the sec and that may even be stretching it.

That guy from Furman ate his lunch all night and he had no answer

Im just tired of all the dancing and the "Paul Bunyan" walk Freak does after every tackle..its not intimidating if youre only making 2 plays a game

One tackle vs Furman when he came in unblocked on the first play of the game.

I believe it would be a big mistake if he declares for the draft,

Palmer IMO is always spot on. Hes not inflamatory like the rest of the analyts.


I agree. I think everyone knows if the offense can make big plays in the passing game, with a steady dose of J. Hill we'll be in the game. If the defense can play halfway decent and come up with a few big stops at key times in the game when we need it, we have a good shot to pull this off.

Unfortunately, Jesse was spot on. Hopefully a fire can be lit under their asses. Freak has been an enormous let down thus far.
