re: Official bignasty69 Q & A

hey bignasty, just wanna quickly thank you for all the info you passing along.


do you think the o-line will return back to its 2007 or even 2008 form next year? I see a lot of guys like Hurst, Blackwell, and others who could be dominant o-linemen. (i just don't know if they'll see the field cuz, like you said, Stud seems to have his favorites).

Also, who do you see being the starting tackles next year? Barksdale will obviously be one of the starters, but who do you see winning the other spot between Faulk and Shaw? Is there a chance Josh D moves to tackle?

What was Shep like out there? I've heard he shredded the D and most hadn't seen anyone like him?

hey no problem i would do anything for my fellow tiger fans, as far as the tackle spot it goes like this.... Stud really likes Blackwell so there is a chance Josh D bumps to Tackle with Joe on the other side that leaves Blackwell and Hurst at guards or he could put shaw or faulk at tackle and let Josh and Hurst play the guards..... just depends on the progression of Faulk and Shaw neither were ready to play full time SEC ball last year, but thats what the year is for..... I say Faulk at tackle with Joe on the other side with Hurst and Josh D as the guards and PJ at center

bignasty69, thanks for all the information. It is greatly appreciated.

I honestly have way too many questions to ask

I'll start with probably the biggest one on my mind: What is the LB outlook? Outside of Minter looking like a solid prospect, how have the others panned out?

Ya know I thought Baker would of had a little bit better year last year, but for this coming up year we did lose a couple of players so its gotta be a spot for concern on the defense.... Baker will be solid, and Shepperd will be back, so we have to get WILL backer.... Prater can't play outside and i don't think Minter could either Taj Jones and Lamin Barrow aren't near ready.... So that leaves Steffon Francois and a player that surprised everyone at camp last year ROCKY DUPLESIS

yeah kelly is awesome

They live in my neighborhood.... good Old Pat..... we call him Project Pat

BN69, Thanks for all the insight.

You spoke earlier of getting that mean streak back....is it the type of players recruited, or is the team taking on the head coaches persona.

Does Miles get fired up at practices? Is he a hard arse, or are things pretty relaxed?

ca, preciate this, probly best info that has ever come out of the rant in its history..

what's your opinion of reuben, why didn't he see the field more? why didn't he get more throws his way? are the rumors of his poor route running true?
