I may have overlooked but haven't seen anyone mention Nic Jacobs at TE this year.

I think this kid has the tools to be a freak. Looks big and fast from practice and athletic.
Thinking we might see him emerge as the receiving TE this year with Clement being the blocking TE.

Rocket, how the hell are you, bro? Im somewhat pissed at you for leaving me here by myself to fend of the Rantards. But welcome back, man. Stick around. Im gonna start showing my face more the closer we get to September.

But to your question, I think like every year, who steps up as leaders is gonna be huge. Hopefully its already been happening because they are very valuable in the offseason, as well. On defense, I think Bennie Logan, Eric Reid, Sam Montgommery, and TM7 can likely be counted on.

On offense, I'm really not sure. I think some of the OL are probably good leaders. I've heard Landry has that sort of personality. Not sure about the RBs. But we all know that Mett being a leader is crucial to our overall success.

We will be considerably better. I know that's hard for the doom and gloomers to take. But it's true.

I'm sorry man. I just got real busy and took a much needed break from the site. I'll be in touch, especially if I see some foolishness that needs to be confronted.

Reid (Parents) live in my neighborhood and Eric has been home for summer and running. Let me tell you he is a beast and has really bulked up. He will be laying the wood to crossing receivers.

I said last year before the start that I thought last year was a 10-2 team and this was our year. I was obviously wrong about last year, hope I'm right that this is our year though. Never easy in the SEC, tough road schedule, and a little worried everyone is going to overlook every game leading up to the Bama game and someone early could sneak up on us. We're better than Auburn by leaps and bounds but on the road in the SEC and things can go awry. One thing that makes me feel good is that we return basically our entire offensive line and running back corp, including Copeland. I don't think people realize how important he is to this team. We ran for 2800 yards last year as a one dimensional team, I think we can be a more dynamic running team, maybe for less yards, if we can just throw it a little.

Going to be impossible to replace Brandon Taylor, and he actually worries me most from a defensive standpoint. Only because I think our replacement for Mo is more than capable but I'm not sure if Loston can do it. I actually have more confidence in Ronald Martin at this point. fricking Landon Collins.

I really like this team offensively and I think our offensive improvement can benefit our defense even more because they won't have to dictate field position all the time, or have the weight of the world on them each game. Because of that, I think this defense could actually take more chances, if at all possible. Really think we can improve at linebacker as well. Baker blitzed effectively but did a poor job of defending backs out of the backfield, think it's a good change. Really like Feist.
