OFFENSIVELY
1.) Is Marcus Sales back?
My answer: Yes
2.) Which running back wants the job?
My answer: Jerome Smith 1st down and short yardage, Prince Tyson-Gulley scat back
3.) Who takes over on the right side of the line?
My Answer: Kris Curtis OT (I think Hickey will be treated with kid gloves as he comes back and will get a chance in the fall) and Ivan Foy G
4.) Who plays Lemon's role?
My Answer: I think Sales will play on one side but on the other??? I don't know. Maybe Jarrod West??? But I have no clue to be honest. I think Cornelius could come in the fall and play if he is good as the NYC papers say.
5.) Who is getting Provo's touches?
My Answer: Beckett Wales with David Stevens keeping the role he played this year, I think Addazio may be the guy who replaces Adam Harris. If not I don't think he does much outside of goal line/special teams.
6.) Will anyone push Nassib?
My Answer: No, there may be some form of wildcat for Hunt/Kinder but I think Loeb will be like Matt Hale (a backup forever), redshirt Broyld and while Hunt/Kinder both have good talent running I have watched both throw at the spring game (Kinder) and warmups (Hunt) and I don't think either one is close to Nassib right now.
DEFENSIVELY
1.) Is a bigger defensive front better vs. the run and better at protecting linebackers?
My Answer: TDB I don't believe the JUCO's will be here until August. Assuming they were brought in to play and Googins actually moves to DE that leaves Crume, Sloan, and Bromley playing and I don't think you recruit a JUCO if you thought they were all ready. I know alot of people will talk about end and pass rush but I think outside of Brandon Sharpe passrush will have to come up the middle or off blitzes, because we don't have anyone that can do it on their own on the roster now (or really coming in ready to play).
2.) Who Plays Linebacker?
My Answer: With Dan Vaughn leaving, Spruill out for the spring that leaves only Dyshawn Davis as a player written in ink on the depth chart. I think it's relatively easy to push Cameron Lynch into Vaunghn's role on a full time basis but don't forget Dom Amene he played alot of downs for the team last year. That leaves Myles Davis, Lewellyn Coker and Siriki Diabate to fight for the MLB Spot. Don't discount Coker, he hits...HARD and I think this is his last real chance to earn playing time. Also don't be suprised if you see some cross training (Mungwa and Simmons). Oliver Vigille will be backup Davis and be a good special teams guy in my mind
3.) And the secondary?
My answer: Is a dumpster fire. Sorry but it is. Shamarko is talented but not great and needs a ballhawk behind him to keep him out of coverage. Jeremy Wilkes is pretty good but he's not Phil Thomas. Durell Eskeridge has a real opportunity here to show he can be a player. As for CB I think it's wide open and if nothing else Reddish, George, Desir and Anderson will get alot more attention than they would otherwise get. Take adavantage of it.
SPECIAL TEAMS
Can the coverage units be as bad as before?
My answer: I think there are alot of athletes that should make them faster and stronger (Vigille, Eskeridge, Mungwa, George, Simmons, Addazio, Beaulieu and Hale) that should give them the potential to be better. We shall see
Can someone get a kickoff in bounds and inside the 10?
My answer: No, there is a reason they recruited Norton
Can Fisher be a premier punter
My answer: Yes, neither Brendan Carney nor Rob Long were consistent when they were freshman and they grew. I think he will be much better this year. He kicks quick which gives him an advantage over Long and Carney. Get consistant height and the distance will come.
