And a bit of 8. They made all the difference yesterday. They made the plays that needed to be made. The guys are studs, two of which will be 1st round picks next year.
Lingering questions...
6 looks a little undersized for a DL. He held up against VT, made up of 30+transfers. How long can he go against SEC OLs. He'll be disruptive in the backfield always, but can he make 7(!) tackles?
16 picked up where he left off last year, but that will end after SEC Ds watch enough tape. No one will try to grab his shoulder pads. Hopefully Shula can scheme Sellers into successful runs and not rely on his escapability. There will be plenty of Ds this year licking their chops to hit 16 in the legs.
0 looks to be the lynchpin of this defense like Eman was last year (imagine if he had come back for his SR year!). Hopefully Johnson can stay healthy.
Here's to hoping that 8 keeps going, making every week better than the last - like we saw with Debo and XL in the past.
