Uhhhh that is going to be a problem but the bigger issue will be all the individuals we are going to lose on offense, which I listed in another thread.

Offensive losses at the end of the season.

Mett -sr
Copeland -sr
Blue - sr
Boone - sr
Wright - sr
Neighbors - sr

i assume these will be the early declarations

OBJ
Landry
Hill
Collins

I don't think you can assume LF will be Hill immediately next year, Hill is a freaking Beast. Maybe the year after but I don't think he will replace the production next year. I hate to say this but it looks like we are going to have the same issues on offense as we did on defense this year. Hopefully our OL will be a beast next year and help out tremendously.

so does next season fall on Cam's ability to get Jennings ready?

I have stated it on other threads and have for the most part gotten beat up for it, but I realize from the comments that were made the individuals making the comments have no experience in the game except on Madden NFL.

Cameron & Miles should start to get AJ meaningful reps from now on out. To me meaningful is a qtr a game. The only game I would be limited on is Bama because of their defense and coaches but all the other 3 no question a qtr a game. Too important for next year, you have an opportunity to season your completely inexperienced starting QB for next year with the outcome of the games this year only depending on what bowl game you now go to, YOU TAKE IT. And with the other impending losses on offense you get Dural and Brazil reps also.

The rest of the team will remain largely intact,

That maybe true, but the linebacker play is so horrendous it is now down to this. Through 8 games whoever can't see we have the wrong personnel on the field at the LB spot is freaking blind, including our coaches. What is a bigger problem is if what we have on the field is the best we got, then we are really screwed and means we either can't evaluate talent, recruit talent or coach the talent better than what we have. Pick your poison but it is one or the other. But something has to change damn-it because we have issues at the linebacker play big-time.

And if we can fix the linebacker play for next year the DL will look a whole lot better. I could go into why it is important for the linebacker to play gap sound defense but it is too long and boring. But if they could fix the linebacker play, I can promise you the entire defense would look almost to old form. Please note I said ALMOST.
