Only takes into account players on current roster. Maybe we get a JUCO as well, but it's entirely possible our two starting CB's for next year are on campus and haven't played a down there yet this year. Anyone know of Arceto's status with the team?
I still can't decide if the problems are talent, coaching or a mix of both but this is what we're looking at for next year. Went ahead and did the full defense for the heck of it as well.
SECONDARY
<font color="#000000">LCB: A. Clark (So.), Anderson (Jr.) Watson (So.)
SS: Mitchell (Jr), Thames (So), Galting (Sr)
FS: Z. Smith (Sr), Whitley (RFr) or Lawrence (So), Bonner (Sr)
RCB: Langston (Sr), Broomfield (So), Banks (So)
Do you realize that it's possible our two starting CB's for next year haven't played a down at CB for us this year? Areceto was at one time though to have big-time CB potential and he'll move back there assuming he's reinstated. Langston can't be worse than what we've seen so I'm giving him the nod. Anderson could move to S I guess as well. Lots of the CB are still young so one or two of the making "the leap" is not all that far-fetched. Free Safety may still be a problem on passing downs unless we move Anderson or something like that over there (maybe Thames). Lots of shakeups in store here.</font></p>
<font color="#FF0000">DEFENSIVE LINE:</font></p>
<font color="#000000">LE: McPhee (Sr), Ferguson (Jr), Stigers (So)
LT: Boyd (So.), Jackson (Jr)
RT: Cox (So.), Williams (Sr), Jones (So)</font></p>
<font color="#000000">RE: Bell (So), Cooper (Sr), McCardell (So), McKenzie (Fr)
At DE we have to find another impact player to compliment McPhee. Maybe that's Dorsey (JUCO). Bell, Cooper and Ferguson have been ok, but none looks like a future Sunday player at this point. Maybe McCardell finally has the lights turn on since he supposedly has the most raw athletic ability. McKenzie supposedly drew good reviews in Fall practice.
We need some more bodies at DT. Hopefully Carmon comes and can be an impact guy. Then we just need one of Jackson, Jones, Williams to step up for depth</font></p>
LINEBACKERS
<font color="#000000">SLB: Wright (Sr), Johnson (Jr), Skinner (RFr.)

<font color="#000000">MLB: Wilson (So.) or Jones (Jr.) or Walters (Jr.)
</font>
<font color="#000000">WLB: White (Sr.), Brown (Sr), Hunt (So.), Lawrence?
</font>
<font color="#000000">The depth chart here is tricky. Does White move to MLB pushing Brown to starting WLB? Who is this Wilson guy that came out of nowhere to unseat Jones and Walters? Do those guys step up? Wright and White are locks but the 3rd spot and the backups are going to be battles. Does Cam Lawrence end up here?
