Definetly OL, really wish we could have gotten an experienced tackle. No starts for either Adams or Davis

One area nobody has said is field goal kicking. Anything over 40 yards is a cross your fingers moment.

So why even kick or punt?

They will be fine. They are very talented players, were just buried behind 2 future nfl stars.

How can we know how talented they are if they have hardly played?

This is so absurd. You can say 45 yards it gets more iffy, but there are so few kickers in college who consistently make 45 yarders. Ramos was 8/11 from 40-49 and 1/2 from 50. Ramos is damn near automatic until upper 40’s

Burrell was #1 kicker in america and can make from 65, he is inaccurate though but waiting in the wings.

Adams has apparently been a brick wall in camp, and Weston Davis is a 5-star going into year 2. There is no need to overdo the portal; these are two talented tackles who need to be out there playing.

All championship rosters have great depth so our current safeties should not be alarmed. There’s enough to go around.

There will always be people who will say, "I just wish the would have signed another....."

They signed transfers, and apparently good ones, at every position besides running back, kicker and linebacker, where they feel good with the players they already have.

No key players were lost, they brought in the top transfer class in the country, a really talented freshman class that will contribute, and the roster is full. It's as good as it can get. Coach 'em up and let 'em loose!

What's the excuse here while he was at TAMU? Similar problems there as well. Has he been hurt his entire career?

A healthy Jardin still sucks man. It’s ok you dont have to defend every player just because he plays for LSU

Oline is all that I'm worried about for week 1. Clemsons top 4 players are QB, dline, dline, dline. I love the way this team looks on paper. We are built to compete with anybody.

Right. Any of you OT guys see the push up the middle last year. We are average at best and don’t have an experienced bonafide proven center.

what is this teams biggest weakness?


LB once you get past Whit Weeks.

We know Perkins can’t play ILB. Otherwise, there are multiple bodies there, but not much production. Keys was ok in a few games last year, but he’s kind of on the small side, and didn’t have those flashes of super athletic plays like we’ve seen other young LBs have in the past. Guys like Weeks, White, Beckwith, Clark, jumped of the screen quickly in limited play.

Maybe West Weeks playing with his brother with be a great complement. Maybe one of the youn players is ready to step up. But right now, that’s a spot where there is one great player and a lot of unknown

Bingo. This staff aggressively went after weak spots in the portal. It’s telling they didn’t really go after the positions you mentioned. Very good sign their high on the tackle room, lb room and rb room

The good thing is they will only be playing 2 linebackers like 80% of the time.
