Does Carlos start next to JJ?

I am pretty sure it was a linebacker, but I clearly remember the quote better than the overall anecdote.

All I’m saying is Jyare will be a good ACC player, has lots of experience and that Donnie might not be super impactful from Day 1, especially after a shorter summer. He will have a good year and show lots of flashes

End of year, Donnie will be our best player. It won’t be close.

It's bad news all around. I can't imagine Carlos and JJ defensively will be beyond dreadful but probably better on offense than the alternative.

I hope the defense is better, I just don't see it.

I agree on the effectiveness of JJ defensively last season, but I land on the other side which is that I can’t quite understand how it was so bad. He moves his feet well, has good size/strength, works pretty hard. I’m hoping he can show more instincts and use his physical tools more to his advantage this year to become at least an average or maybe even solid defender? But that’s kind of just blind hope.

I will say I think there are systemic changes that help all of these guys. The philosophy we had last year is way, waaaayyyy to simplistic to work at this level.
