2013 is shaping up to be a 3 or 4 loss season.


Not so fast, my friend!

While it appears we won't be able to rely as heavily on our defense next year, the offense is primed for a BIG season, possibly the best offense since Miles has been here. And Chief is going to have the D ready regardless of who is out there. He's shown us no reason to not have faith in him to pull together one heck of defense.

With all of that said, Bama, A&M, UF, and UGA could all be better next year as well...wow, that's one heck of a tough schedule to get through so 3-4 losses is certainly possible, but I really like our chances next year.

Logon is who I an wanting to keep and worried he goes pro.

Reid is certainly positioned well enough to go pro but I am hoping his emphasis on education keeps him here another year.

Minter we can certainly survive losing him and I had zero concern about him leaving considering the backups behind him at LB that we have. But man as the season progresses he is looking more and more studly every game. Could be the star of the defense next year if he stays.

Simon hasn't played nearly as well as I expected. He and Reid and Loston have been the db's that have been getting burned most often. Not really hate there but Jalen has been so freaking solid. It is as if they reversed roles as the teacher and the student.

We will finally see the let down next year on he DL. Good but not quite as good (assuming logon leaves) and not as much depth.

Agree. Not seeing a 3-4 loss season next year. If we don't lose 3-4 this year with all the issues we've had with injuries and discipline then we should be fine next year.

As for early entrants, Mingo and Monty are gone. My thought is that Minter is the only one of the other 4(Minter, Reid, Simon, Logan) that has played well enough to leave. I do see Simon leaving but it has nothing to do with his play. I don't even think he's been our best CB this year. Reid's status comes down to 2 things imo. What other Jr Safeties leave(mainly Elam at UF) and academics. His family is huge on academics and if he hasn't finished his degree then I see him sticking around. If he has then it's a tossup. Logan needs to return. Too inconsistent this year. Can Minter really improve his stock more than it is right now? If we can get 2-3 of those 4 back then we made out well.

Depth

DE-Rasco, Allen, Herron
DE-Hunter, Maclin, Neal
DT-Johnson, Ferguson, Gilmore
DT-Logan, Thomas, Johnson
LB-Alexander, Louis
MLB-Feist, not sure how depth goes here. Minter would be a huge loss
LB-T. Jones, Barrow, Jones
CB-Mills, White
CB-Collins, Raymond, Thomas
S-Loston, Martin
S-Thompson, Sandolph
Nickel-Eugene
