I agreeThis is what you call putting together a competitive roster...damn
I think he will be playing another spot. Best 3 will play and I imagine he has a good chance to start. We now have a quality 2 deep. Armstrong, Guthrie and whoever doesnt start. Our 2 deep will feature 2 players whose started and played meaningul games, along with a juco all american who had over 100 tackles. Thats pretty nice.Glad to see this, but I'm a little confused. Why would a 5th year grad transfer Mike come to a school where the Mike is practically locked down (Franklin), not to mention we have a sophomore that is expected to step in next year and has shown he can play. Now, on the positive, Valdez knows the scheme and can help our guys better understand the expectations, but I'm wondering if he's going to be playing in another spot or, heaven help us, we go to a 3-4 defense.
Agree with this. I expect Valdez to win a starting job, along with Franklin and Bennett.I think he will be playing another spot. Best 3 will play and I imagine he has a good chance to start.

It's really nice to finally read or hear that we have a starting linebacker corp that is ACC quality and possibly all 3 of their back ups are also. We are getting there. Go SUHe will play. Franklin, Valdez and Bennett will give us 3 guys with ACC size, range and coverage skills.
yup, Shy will still have 2 years of starting if he was to win the job. 4 senior LB's graduating after the season. Him and Armstrong will be very good together.Shy on blitz package and special teams? Lead blocker on short yardage?
We could almost field an entirely different, and experienced, defense from last year. Between Martin, Williams, Butler, Grosvenor, Allen, Berry, Guthrie, and now Valdez, I'm really excited to see whether we improve.
I think true sophomores with a full year in the weight room (Foster, Coleman, Black, McKinley Williams, Jones, Bradshaw, Armstrong) is just as important, if not more so.We could almost field an entirely different, and experienced, defense from last year.

Also, it appears that Clarke is being let back on the team.I think true sophomores with a full year in the weight room (Foster, Coleman, Black, McKinley Williams, Jones, Bradshaw, Armstrong) is just as important, if not more so.
Steve Clarke? Where are you getting that from? I know he has decided to stay at Syracuse, but not for football, rather to finish his degree.Also, it appears that Clarke is being let back on the team.
