Do yall think we continue to get stronger, or will we see an Auburn-esque regression before the year is out?

I, for one, think we will continue to improve.

There have been a number of developments over the last few weeks that have totally changed the identity of this Defense.

1. Banks. Big time. Speed, awareness, nose for the ball. Huge asset.

2. Bonner's decreased playing time (I don't know if he was injured for Florida, but I didn't see him out there all night and that is a big, big plus).

3. C. White appears to have adjusted to the SEC. I think he can be Dominic Douglas-good for the remainder of this career.

4. Broomfield and Langston. Jury still out on how good they can be, but definitely an improvement. After going through Arkansas and Ole Miss, we will definitely know where we stand at CB next year. We actually played some press coverage last week. That was good to see.

5. Tell me if yall agree on this, but I think we are getting some high-quality play out of Sean Ferguson in both the run and pass game. He has stepped it up.

6. Getting more pressure from McPhee and more pressure up the middle.

Things I am still concerned about:

Jamar Chaney must have had skates surgically attached to his feet during the offseason.

Wright still disappears at times. Although I think he still helps more than he hurts.

Safeties could definitely be better in run-support.

I would like to see us blitz White off the edge a little more.

as long as Mullen and co are keeping our teams spirits up. We still have 4 games left and need 3 to make a bowl. Losing this weekend might murder that mentality but thankfully we get a week off to get back up to speed. I really feel that we wont see any breakdown between now and the end of the season. Or atleast nothing that comes anywhere close to comparing to auburns.
