Good article. I’m not sure what is more amazing.,, that only three teams in the country had more sacks than SU last season (Clemson, Alabama and PedSt), or that last year was the first time SU has had two double-digit sack players since 1985 (Green and Kimmel). And Slayton had 9.5 sacks too. That’s mind-boggling. What an amazing job HCDB and staff have done with the DL. Stunning!
I think the 9.5 sacks was over the course of his whole career, wasn't it?Good article.

Hmmm.., yeah, I may have misread that.I think the 9.5 sacks was over the course of his whole career, wasn't it?
I think so too amazing first step.Kenneth Ruff may blow up this year.
Well from the dc at Clemson he said we had the best ends in the countryAnd yet, how often was our line compared nationally to Clemson's and Alabama's last year? that's right, zero.
That’s a huge complimentWell from the dc at Clemson he said we had the best ends in the country
Reading this article Im excited, but also worried. Excited that this line will be a monster this year. Extremely worried however because of how many seniors are graduating and not many underclassmen to fill spots. Will probably need some JUCO's next year.
Not for this year. He's 200lbs. For the future definately but freshman rarely start in general and more specifically on the line.Gotta add Ishmael Gouldbourne into the new faces mix. Love his potential.
Its the DTs I'm worried about. We have alot of young DL recruits but they are very skinny with most projecting as DE's. Don't underestimate experience too. Too many RF linemen is a recipe for disaster. Thinking Calub O. may grow into one but we really don't have experienced DT help for 2020 and 2021. Maybe a grad Transfer to help us out to bridge the gap between this yr DTs graduating and our young freshmen for next yr.We took 6 DL last season; I think we'll be ok.

Gunter would have been real nice to keep. Stinks he left for State.Reading this article Im excited, but also worried. Excited that this line will be a monster this year.

Me too. I also think Tuazama will be one too but to go from 235 to 280 where we need him may take 3 yrs. What do we do in the meantime. Watching the new practice sessions we all know why C.Harper isn't making it. Everyone around him are solid large men and he looks like a big tub of goo. We all have to admit there is a possibility or likelihood that we may have a gap in experienced, fully physically mature DL for a year or two.Although, to be fair, we took two DTs and we have Caleb O and Curtis Harper (who admittedly hasn't done anything). I'd also expect at least one of the other DE Recruits (maybe Dawson) to grow into a DT.

Saw it and laughedTell me somebody saw the picture of Jake Pickard and crew in the PS article?
There’s definitely a “look a little closer” element.
