Top 3 D Lines in the ACC

[CuseLegacy]

 

[RandomGuy]

Well, David Hale thinks we have the #1 Dline, so there's that.

 

[Shaggy1]

Ruff may have the best year of anyone

 

[baggerbob]

After the Clemson win there will be no doubt about the Defensive Line. Dabo, and Lawrence will call them the best they have seen.

 

[NKR1978]

The best thing about being perceived as a top ACC is the media attention and the conference pumping out content hyping us.

I like KJ and I think he’ll have a good season and get some pressure from the interior when he’s in there, but if that happens I think Alton and Kendall underperformed to a level nobody saw coming

I will continue to assume Clemson's is the best until proven otherwise. With the way they stockpile talent, they probably had guys that couldn't get on the field last year that would have starters elsewhere. Hopefully, with our returning experience we challenge them for that spot.

That happened last year.

Let’s see, two years in a row their starting quarterback got knocked on his arse and didn’t come back in the game afterward. This inferiority complex is not a good look. In fact it looks familiar. You see, my father in law is a hard core Aggie. Graduated from A&M in the Corp. Before A&M left the Big Bevo they called this complex “B.A.S.” which is short for Battered Aggie Syndrome. It can in fact be true that there is legitimate, better talent starting a position group for Syracuse University. It was that way before at SU and it was that way before at A&M!!!! Crawl out of your dang shells and proudly support your alma mater or local university team you’ve supported from childhood! Let’s go Orange!!!

My opinion is in no way reflective of my support for the team. It is simply based on Clemson's track record on the field and the recruiting trail. I believe we have a really good defensive line. Thinking we may not have eclipsed the team that won 2 out of the last three NC's isn't necessarily an inferiority complex, it's objectivity.

I believe our secondary has an even stronger chance to be best in the conference.

I’m banking on it. Super explosive.

The d c did last year.

They are gonna perceive the ends as a tougher one on one matchup so ruff will get single blocked and he is much more of a playmaker than say Clayton. Big dog could sit in his hole and not get moved even bye doubles ruff is different. Bye the middle of season teams are just gonna double where the play is going inside or out is my opinion. If ruff is killing it then they are double blocking outside. Visa versa also and that means someone is getting free. Even double teamed our ends are too good. The best plays on tape for Coleman was when he was doubled and still blew it up. Sorry I’m rambling I get too excited.

 

[anomander]

It’s hard to hate on this, but I think he got these 2 position groups dead wrong. RB and DB will be the strength of the team. I wouldn’t have ranked OL and LB as high.

That happened the last two years.

Fixed.

The old saying “winning cures everything” is pretty much spot on! It causes shockwaves of positive media etc. which helps recruiting and the fan base. Just keep winning!

Really don’t know much about the NFL, but really hope to hear a Syracuse player’s name on the first or second day of the draft next April.

 

[cusefan88]

Alton is a top 100 draft pick

 

[Todoubled23]

Absolutely cannot wait.

 

[FloridaFan]

Alton is a top 100 draft pick

Thats the best thing about having great players. Getting their names called early is huge for them and us. DE's will hopefully see they can follow in their footsteps and consider us

 

[Ozone!]

I like our D-line for 2019! Speed, power and experience! Our DE's should be tops, in the ACC.
I feel they will be a true strength for our D; along with our secondary!

 

[shu 49]

At the end of the year they both will be picked higher than we think. They are both unblockable and we will see that this year.

 

[jgeorge322]

Alton is a top 100 draft pick

i believe he will be higher than that by the end of the year. my prediction is first or second round.

 

[BlueShaq]

Of the 16 players who had 10+ sacks last year, 5 are coming back to college for another year. We have 2 of those 5 guys. Kendall and Alton alone outsacked 21 whole teams last year.

Not to mention, Kingsley's racked up 5 sacks while he was in a backup role. 5 sacks would've been good enough for you to be the leading sacker at Washington, VT, UCLA, Maryland, L'Ville, Ole Miss, and several other schools last year.
