- Having reviewed the roster in my annual preview, I actually think we are bursting with talent at nearly every position- except offensive line and I think, when fully healthy, we will have a decent starting line-up there, (Pat Davis definitely belongs ahead of Elmore). I think lost year was a “Murphy’s law year and that it will be the anomaly year, not 2018, (discount the first two years, aside from the Va Tech and Clemson upsets).
- Loved the way Dino talked about our linebackers on his show this week, even without Tyrell Richards. He thinks they will be a dynamic group, even if they will have a lot to learn. That position should be a significant upgrade over the last couple of seasons.
- The 3-3-5 is supposed to be an aggressive defense and I like that. It should enable us to cover passes very well but also to make big plays on defense. I hate “read and cover”. The good teams don’t wait for things to happen. They make them happen. And we’ve got the athletes on defense to do it.
- UNC was special on offense last season but not on defense. They were 109th against the run, 110 against the pass and 115 overall. There are only 130 teams in FBS. We can do business against these guys. I still remember that 49-47 game…
- Adams and Howard are about to be Pipped by Jawhar Jordan, who could have a Joe Morris-like career here. I’m also looking forward to Courtney Jackson in the slot. Johnson & Johnson better be on their toes.
- Dino clearly thinks Taj Harris is due for a big year after a disappointing sophomore season. That’s what the single digit numbers are about.
- Tommy DeVito owns these guys - 3TDs in the fourth quarter and OT, baby!
- If it comes down to a field goal, we’ve got Andre Szmyt and they don’t.
0-0 and 11(?) to go!
LET’S GO ORANGE!!!
