Message: [QUOTE="DoctahLexus, post: 5459989, member: 6798"] We have a big question mark at ssdm and that could honestly dictate how far we go. It is an absolutely crucial position. The downturn in defenses like Hop's and ND's are heavily based on the losses they had at ssdm. We saw the downturn in our own defense when we lost Joe Gillis and Paolo Ciferri from 2017 to 2018. I would love if we found a way to get Levine back next year, which was not 100% ruled out. Just pay that guy whatever salary his starter job was going to offer! Bowen and Kittelberger should be a solid boost. I have some faith that Ochoa and Spallina can continue to improve with more experience under their belt. Bolognino could continue getting run there after looking solid with minimal experience. McCarthy will likely get more two way run on the defensive end where he was solid. We also had some athletic guys in the 2024 class who redshirted with injuries. One new face emerging there could go a long way. [/QUOTE]
