JJ Weaver returning
- Thread starter rick64
- Start date
couldn’t be any happier if I had 6 fingers
Sets up for another really good defensive year. While JJ has not been the edge rusher I hoped he be....he is adequate and if he can add more strength...he might be that double digit sacker we've missed since Josh Allen.
DT - Ox
NG - Walker
DE - Rybka
Jack - Weaver
WIll - Wallace
Mike - D Jackson
Sam - ???? (maybe Afari has a role here)
CB - Dre Philips
CB - JQ Hardaway
SS - Lovett
FS - Geiger/Childress
Pretty damn good unit and plenty of depth all over the place.

If you had six fingers, Inigo Montoya would be on your trail.
Dunn & Dru both get starter level of snaps.. With Nickel and dime packages, there is a lot of PT. DL is also a rotation so at least a two deep is needed. UK has that but Horsey and JJ are returning at thin positions so this is great news. Far better getting those two back than having to keep relying on the portal. Team is good on paper.
Have to figure Vito will figure in somewhere possibly that Sam/nickel position. Also not sure they'll kick Walker to NT to just take on double teams. Hes a more explosive athlete than other guys we've had there in the past.
Tend to agree with your assessment.
Many think Walker is a special talent. Coach White and the defensive staff need to move him around and design things so he is singled up more.
I think we will see this next year SEC offenses be afraid be very afraid. Walker the stalker is coming for you. (and Hell's coming with him)
Great news. Hoping JJ can add some upper strength aka Josh Allen and have a big senior year. Think that’s all he needs to be the edge rusher we’re missing.
I’m thrilled from a completely selfish point of view. I’ve watched JJ play since middle school when my son and him played basketball together here in Louisville. It’s gonna be nice to see them both graduate from college…damn I’m getting old!!
Yeah that is sort of iffy Imo
Option 1 as a the traditional Sam is Noah Matthew, Godfrey as a true Fr gets a shot, and Fearby just needs to add size
Option 2 with a smaller body type…Afari and Vito is going to need to get on field. With the emergence of Lovett as a true deep safety and Childress/ Geiger back there as well. You have to get these two on field and they make plays near LOS
So I see options wjtb that roster
If we can fin someway to get Lovett, Childress, Vito and Afari on the field at the same time a lot I'm for it! Those guys are all super aggressive and playmakers.
