How is the LB group going to get worse in your opinion?


Is losing 3 of 4 starters not a bad thing?

As stated, Donnie was putrid and Taylor started half the year as a true freshman, so not including him as a starter is intellectually dishonest. Phillips got good PT and we have Divinity, Thornton, Anthony, Queen, etc.

Arden Key was a ghost last year except for 2 games, so we aren't missing him from last years squad. Chaisson got a ton of PT in his place as a guy in his 3rd year playing competitive football. He's an athletic specimen and will make major leaps at the position with another year under Aranda.

Front 7 is going to be dynamite.

But I agree we are very unproven at OL and QB, and have a weaker than normal RB core (though I think CEH and Curry will be pretty good). Tons of talent at WR including Giles who has a lot of experience, and we added an actual WR coach that knows how to coach the position. Issue is just getting them the ball.

Offense could be very, very bad.
