Lots of questions about the secondary. I think the linebackers won't be as downhill as we'd like them to be. This comes down to the DL.

I suddenly think Zeke is going to pick up where Bromley left off, and I expect Thompson to be a monster on the flanks.

This is a tough one for me. I feel like there's at least 6 or 7 real possibilities. I'll go with Dyshawn Davis, but wouldn't be surprised to see Ron Thompson have a big year.

Rob Welsh

I would love to see Ron Thompson be the guy, stud athlete coming out of HS at TE. The staff must have told him he has the best chance to get on the field at DE, very excited for him to say the least.

Is he the one somebody said could do a standing back flip?

Ron Thompson

Didn't Shafer compare Donnie Simmons to Freeney? I will go with him.

Everyone else is picking Sugar Bear so I'll throw out Isaiah Johnson.

Rob Welsh -- most sacks last year of anyone returning and no one is paying any attention to him.

Cam

Ron Thompson

This is my guess as well. Thompson is pretty much going to have one job, kill the QB, Welsh is going to be tasked with being our best overall DL and I think that he will take the most snaps but not lead us in sacks.


Out of sheer curiosity, when's the last time that a LB lead Syracuse in sacks?

I feel like Doug Hogue did, but I could be way off base.

Correct in 2009 Hogue led with 9.5 and Smith was second with 6.5

That was the 3.5 sacks against Rutgers year, he earned national defensive player of the week for that.

 

[Rocco]

Shafer

 

[Orange4]

Hodge is my pick, going to surprise a lot of people in the ACC.

I knew he had a big year and a couple of monster games. If only my brain could retain as much "important" information at work. :noidea:
