MIngo and Sam are pretty safe bets.
I think Ware is leaving.
Logan is interesting because this is a good DL year for the draft. Might not be a good year for him to come out.

I would figure that this has more to do with something non-football related.
Why?
Because Hurst is a player likely to be drafted in the NFL. If he quits because he is ticked at the coaches or some other issue like this...goodbye football career. Nobody will mess with a guy who quits on his t...

Who knows? He's thrown one pass!
Could he be...sure. If he is the starter in two years he will have had plenty of years in the program to get ready and he is physically similar to the QB he is replacing. If Mett is here for next season then Rivers could step in and do the same things.

All the no sack games have shown is that you can't beat us by throwing short all game. Biggest worry going in was-

- new faces at safety (Reid as leader, Loston a starter) ...mixed. Reid has not been as good without Taylo...

| re: Ive been watching Mett pretty close - tigersruledude on 9/18/12 at 5:48 pm
Good grief he doesn't have to be Andrew Luck. He just has to be competent. We went undefeated in the SEC last year with NOTHING at QB.
If he is just a guy who can be accurate and make you pay over the top if you load the box to stop our run game we are damn near in stoppable.

Thanks for clearing that up for me.
If you don't know the difference between the Rover type position that TM7 played at his best (so much so that many other teams flat out called him a LB when scheming for him) and a player playing CB on an outside island...can't help you.

| re: McNeese State Coach Says He Met With Tyrann Mathieu - tigersruledude on 8/12/12 at 9:19 pm
Jenkins was a very fast cover corner.
Tyrann is a extremely talented player but on who will walk into the combine and measure 5'9 and weigh not nearly enough. He will likely not test super fast. He will have no natural pro position and now he has proven to be a major off the field risk.

The OP is correct but not because TM7 was not the fantastic player we all know he was.
He is correct because Simons skills as an experienced cover corner are harder to replace.
TM7 was fantastic as the nickel corner. But it is a freelance read and react type position. It is the type of posit...

Well, i guess this depends on your definition of legitimate. Generally the Justices fall on one of the two sides of the spectrum. The "conservative" vs "liberal" tags are probably not specific enough to be fair. A better term is probably that their is:

This may very well be true. Montgomery just doesn't look the part of OLB to me. Just never thought of him as being that kind of a player. Not an ability thing...just an eye test thing. You could very well be right though. I hope so. I just always considered him more likely to try to put on mor...
