Message: [QUOTE="kcsu, post: 861351, member: 528"] In order i think if we can find replacements for the following three players that across the board we are going to be a stronger team next year. 1: Bromely in my opinion is our biggest loss. In watching the games his motor just never quits. Other teams had to pay special attention to him and he was the heart of our D all year. Crume? Does big John come back? Is it time for Waynes world? 2: Spruil along with Bromely was the heart of our D. When we needed a play these guys made it. Huge loss. Glad we have talent at LB but i do not see anyone on the roster who is as good as him. Luke? Lynch? 3: Surprise it is not Hickey but rather the one who i put down so often Mac. True leader on and off the field. Coach on the field, Glue on and off not sure how you replace his talent, work ethic, leadership, and spirit. Hickey may have more NFL talent but Mac was more important to this team. It looks like we are in good shape talent wise but boy will we miss his leadership. Guys who i think are going to step up next year on and off the field. Welsh. I picked him as my break out player on D this year and he played lights out. Next year i believe he becomes the leader of the D On O i think that this is and will be Hunts team next year. My dark horse leader is actually Ashton. His passion and competativeness is second to none. If he grows up and can use his energy in a positive way he could become a leader. I also think that Rob Trudo has a chance to step up as a leader as well. New guys that didnt play much this year that have a chance to shine are Emerich at OC Laster will become a solid LT and i really think that Ron Thompson becomes a force. Others who have great years are Krautman who works hard in the off season and is thankful for a second chance. Chauncy who becomes that tough physical CB who can match up with the big WR and Donnie Simmons who becomes a force on Third down and special teams. All in all we are in very good shape. The two biggest bonuses for this program would be Hickey coming back and Big John healthy. Lets close out our best recruiting class in years and all look forward to a great 2014! Go Orange! [/QUOTE]
