re: Rasco and Hunter at DE?

I'm not worried bout the DEs it the inside push I hope we get that has me wondering. Rasco has both power and speed. Hunter looks like he will hold up when he gets a chance. I feel like Allen will only make a play when he gets in his sr. Year.

Looking forward to seeing the new guys.Sam was great but not as good as Tyson Jackson , brockers and some of the others. rasco will be great!

Ideally the starters will be Rasco and Nkemdichi 
yes I still have faith, but its certainly dwindling

Beckwith plays pass rush specialist. That kid is a freak. Rasco will be solid and hopefully Hunter is as beastly as he looks. Our LBs will be awesome so that helps.

Jordan Allen is the one I'm not sure about. I don't think I've ever actually seen him play DE. I know I've seen him on special teams.
Really depends on his recovery. Looks like he would have been in the rotation this year with the spring he had.

does he have the quicks to stay at LB...looked damn good in the Army game

Rasco played a ton, both inside and out. Imo he will be as good as sam if not better. Hunter was a rs, so I have no idea what some are talkimg about in regards to him, but he sure looks the part and his own hs coach said he was better than the aggie in denver, so that's promising. I really liked maclin off the edge in 2011, so I'm very curious to see him in the mix

I thought Edwards was our best d end to be honest. Very consistent all year! I think we will be fine Rasco showed a few glipses this past season about his pass rushing ability. I also recently saw Hunter out in BR and he was a monster so I'm not too worried, my biggest concern is DTopposite of johnson. We need Ego to have great offseason!

I think that Maclin and Allen will be in the mix also.

He was at the UA Game and yes he does. He has freakish speed and lateral quickness for a guy his size. He was listed as an ATH at that game, not a DE or LB.
I think him and White are future superstars for us.

Yes, if you look at the participation reports Hunter played in 7-8 games this past year. Plus I remember seeing him on the field as well. He didn't do much but then again he was a freshman seeing his first action.

Rasco should be good. He had a good freshman season and did aright this year when he played. As talented and athletic as Mingo is, he was really nothing more than a pass rusher. He got pushed around at his size a lot. I don't know much about Hunter but he's built like a brick house
scary
Maclin just seems like a guy that's never gonna make it to a starting spot. Kinda crazy he's only going to be a RS junior because it seems like he's been here for 12 years. I expected big things from him when he signed at LSU, and he was a huge pick up out of Memphis, but I just wonder if he's ever going to live up to the hype he had coming out of high school.

Rascoe reminds me of Rahim Alem. Almost the same type of player. I think Maclin will be the next big ticket along with Hunter. I remember hearing about Hunter in recruiting and seeing video that was just nasty

God I hope not.

Rasco will be better than Alem. I think we will be just fine at DE. DT is the spot I'm more worried about, but with out awesome LB core next year, we should be fine.
Our defense will be good as always.

Hunter turned 18 during the season, like October I believe. dude hasn't even been thru the full offseason workout program and he looks like a - wait for it - BEAST. really intriguing kid to say the least.
as for Maclin, there was talk that he hurt his knee late in the season, so not even sure he'll be ready for spring. hoping for the best the kid, he was quick off the ball in the spring game in '11. and he reportedly put in extra work with Dworacyk to help him handle the LT transition. like to hear that kinda stuff.

Montgomery had 8 sacks and Mingo had 4.5 sacks this past year. They also combined for 21.5 TFL. I believe Rasco could have a dbl digit sack season and Hunter (although don't really know what he has to offer) if he can play decent hopefully he could churn 4 sacks this season. I think a lot will be placed on AJ and Ego for next years line to be dominant.

Well let me just say Rascoe reminds me of Alem formally known as Al Jones. When Al Jones was a freshman and Sophomore, he was really good. When he changed his name to Alem, he began to be a different player (not because of the name). It seemed like the older he got, the more he tended to get way to far up field and developed more of an attitude. Honestly, it was like he was on steroids later in his career as he was always a force but way to clumsy and overworked himself, if that makes sense

Rasco didn't play a ton. Not sure what games you watched.
We don't return a DE that even had a sack this past season.

Not sure what "a ton" is, but he played a good bit.
