Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 327640, member: 40"] That's what I'm counting on, as well. If a player or two steps up at DE, this will be the best front seven we've fielded in a long time, with better depth. The LBs might not individually be as good as Hogue / Smith, but the talent / experience was thin behind those two [in 2009, we started Gillum and then the kid who transferred to NC State. Spruill was a true frosh in 2010]. We can go at least 6 deep this year at LB, with four experienced guys who can play multiple positions. Question marks abound in the secondary, but again--we have better talent / depth than we've had in a long time. The Lyn / Reddish duo might prove to be as good as Holmes / Merkerson were in 2010. If Eskridge brings it, the safeties could be very good, too. And an injury or two--while clearly undesirable--won't ransack our depth like it would have in 2009, 2010, and 2011. [/QUOTE]
