I think they are going to explode next year. I believe Hunter's in for a breakout year. Took one year to fill out his frame, took another year to get acclimated to the field, and next year, he owns it.

Rasco, to me at least, seemed to get better as the year progressed. He's the one nobody seems to be talking about, but who could double his sack total next year. It takes some longer than others to fully develop, but I saw him coming around later in the season.

IMO though, better DT play (can't get much worse, can it) can free up these guys to let loose in the backfield. I hope first, but ultimately expect them to be really great next year.

Totally agree. Both became my 2 favorite defensive players this last year. Hoping they nail it to the wall this year.

I'm expecting big things from Hunter. If Rasco keeps up what he's doing then our D-line should be alright.

Well after Les told Hunter to put his arms up, he's unstoppable.

Hunter has played well since he arrived and has continued to get better. He will make himself a bunch of money with his play this year.

Hunter will be significantly better than Rasco, IMO.

For those DE to break out we have to have the DT and LB to be solid. As long as they can atleast hold their own, rasco and hunter will shine big time! All they need is time!
Same goes with the offense. If we are always playing with the lead, they will do great. But if offense struggles and we are down early in most games or it's a grind out then they may not be let loose as much.
I think next season will be a nerve racking but fun one to unfold!

I sure expect them to be a strength on D next year. Lewis Neal should also see playing time as pure speed edge pass rusher.

How weird is it that DT was our main weakness last year until the bowl game and our 2 starting juniors left for the nfl. So strange.

I think the best thing about Rasco is he plays assignment football, you see it on zone reads and bootlegs. He also plays nice and nasty. He's the first guy helping up an opposing player after a tackle, he's also the guy on D that's good for atleast one personal foul penalty.

Expectations should be high IMO.

Our DE play should be one the highlights of the 2014 team.

Rasco, Hunter, and Allen will be a very good 3some.

I think at some point next season you'll see a starting 4 of Hunter, Herron, Thomas, and Rasco w/ LaCouture and Bain rotating in at the DT spots.
