TUSK asks the 6pack... (football fix)

[TUSK.sixpack]

What position(s) are you guys sweating the most?<div>
</div><div>and</div><div>
</div><div>If you could nab any other SEC player to wear maroon, who would that player be?</div>

 

[missouridawg]

not sure who it even is.

 

[pDigital32Dawg]

Offensive line scares me because Relf has yet to show great poise when the offensive line is getting shredded. Now granted most quarterbacks don't show great poise under pressure a whole game, but I still fear Relf might throw a bunch of interceptions like we have seen the before. If I could pick up one player from any SEC team I would go with Marcus Lattimore even though he doesn't fill any immediate needs for us, one can't argue how much he brings to the table for your team.

 

[615dawg]

I think we have some great talent there, but we lost three starters that were all-SEC caliber. I think we struggle with Auburn because they will try to test those new backers.

As far as another SEC player in maroon - I like Trent Richardson, but our running backs are fine. Courtney Upshaw would take us from a darkhorse to a contender.

 

[ckDOG]

We could be okay at LB by mid-season with Brandon Maye transfering in and some decent young talent, but any time you lose all 3 starters (2 of which will likely be drafted) you are going to have concerns.

LT is either going to be a young guy playing or James Carmon, who was a DT last year.

If I could have any other SEC player, I'd probably pick Dont'a Hightower.

 

[MStateFan22]

So I'll say Courtney Upshaw, though I'm sweating LT the most.

 

[Sutterkane]

I'm not that concerned about LT. I think Carmon will be ok, but won't be Sherrod by far. We'll be..."ok" on OLine.

I'm not that worried at all about LB. Maye will fill in nicely and it appears we have some decent talent stepping in. Won't be awesome there, but we'll be "good". Could be surprised too and we might be really good.

DE is another story. Losing Pern might be one of the biggest losses because he was also in the middle of the huddle too.

 

[gasdawg]

I am sweating LT the most. Hope Carmon or Clausell will step up big time in August and have a clear cut number one LT. Also, the lack of a big time pass rush DE concerns me as well. I think we will be ok at LB with Maye coming in. We will miss experience at LB, but the group as a whole is very athletic and fast.

Any player from SEC I would want Alshon Jeffery. He could be that dominant go to WR Mullen says that we are missing.

 

[ckDOG]

He got thrown into the fire a little too early, but he's developed into a solid LT. Didn't he end up 2nd team All-SEC last year? He's a documented whiner, but I could get over that -- talented veteran LTs are worth their weight in gold in my opinion.

 

[Columbus Dawg]

are you saying Gatling was All-SEC caliber? We will be fine at LB with Maye in the middle flanked by 2 of these 4: Skinner, Hughes, Lawrence, Wells.

LT is the biggest concern with DE being a close second.

I would take Jadeveon Clowney because he will be around for at least 3 years and he is the most impressive DE prospect I have ever seen.

I think we have some descent DE's, but none really that proven other than the flashes Fergusson has shown. Maybe since he's "the guy" this year he will play well. I think we have athletic ability here and some good young talent, but it's all unproven. I would say Clowney like someone else said, but I haven't seen him play yet, so I would take Berquette (sp?) that DE from Arkansas. He's a great player and he would be a huge asset for us.<div>
</div><div>I think we'll be okay at LB. They looked good in the spring game. Maye will be good and so will the players behind him.</div><div>
</div><div>I'm somewhat worried about LT, but not really. I think if Carmon can't do it, Claussell will be able to work there just fine. He's been through 2 springs and he should be able to be a solid back up to Carmon if not take the job from him. Our OL will be okay and so will our RB. I'm not worried about our offense for the first time in a LOOOOONG time!</div>

 

[Malfunction Junction1]

I'm worried about LT. If the offensive line is good, then this offense should be able to put up points this year. As for players I'd like to have I'd take 2 gators. Jeff Demps for kick and punt returns; it would be nice to have a player that can flip the field or take it to the house. And we desperately need a shut down corner like Janoris Jenkins. Some love him, but I'm not a Broomfield fan.

Due to some boneheaded mistakes we just recently lost a bone-a-fied Playboy Bunny off the squad. Now here we are careening toward the season without a decent replacement. I don't know what the hell they were thinking, this is an important part of recruiting!

As for who I would take, this would be a good start:

 

[TUSK.sixpack]

it's a old joke 'bout you guys dropping dime on Auburn...It's a "rat"...<div>
</div><div>as far as who I think is a Nasty guy I'd want on my team... I'd go with Alshon from SC.</div><div>
</div><div>... the guys I'd least like to lose would be RB Richardson, LB Hightower, S Barron and LB/DE Upshaw... in no particular order.</div><div>
</div><div>what we really need is an explosive DL and a QB that can hand the ball off without fumbling...</div>

AP 2nd team All-SEC.

No we didn't.
