After seeing the pictures of our DL, more specifically Gilmore and Bain, they definitely look the part. Our DL rotation will be nasty with LaCouture, Thomas, Bain, and Gilmore. The DE rotation is stacking up to be very nice too. The secondary is STACKED. Do I really need to say anymore? And as long Chief is here I'll never be concerned about the LBs.

While they did look good from the short clips I saw, we really cant judge until they start actually playing.

The players look good? We'll scare the other team getting off the bus.

Concerns are gone.

Herron looks pretty soft.

The coaches are expecting him to be frankly destructive with the opposition.

I used to say this every offseason. And every year I was right.

Until last season. They were just plain bad.

Can't wait to see it all come together as the D stuffs the Wiscky running game.

It's funny because on paper they were still a decent defense. They just seemed to break down more often than we are used to seeing. I blame it on lack of leadership in the secondary, and not enough quality depth on the line.

They looked big last year, too. We had guys fapping to Hunter's arm this time last season. Your concerns are all gone after one practice?

No they weren't. Let's see, the LBs were terrible, the corners were weak most of the year, and the safeties sucked. Have you ever heard of Occam's Razor? It's the philosophical principal that the simplest explanation is probably correct.

So, we can believe that all of the position groups listed above suddenly got bad, or that the DT's played poorly for most of the year, and the lack of pressure caused everyone to look bad. Simple...and correct.

You guys are pathetic. PICTURES! convince you how good the players are? Or how good the D is? They have had one walk thru practice, calm down.

And also, if anyone can't see that Welter was overwhelmed last year, they simply know nothing about football. Not all his fault. But he wasn't up to sec expectations.

I'll wait to see them play. They aren't models. They are football players.

I had nightmares about Hunter last night after seeing his pictures. It's been a long time since we had a player that physically intimidating.
