2016 Starting Lineup?

We can not stop the run without Gotsis. I don't think this will change in 2016.
 
JJ Green will start. Also the CB transfer from USC. If the light turns on then Gary Brown will be a factor on Oline. Glanton could push to start at DT too.
 
The offense has potential but until it shows better than this group--it is a going to erratic.For the first time in a while no pro-type WR again.Don't begin to think a FR will be a huge difference maker.The backs will talented but young mainly--read erratic.The OL? will it be '14 or '15? Will JT get over the psych battering from this season?

The def has the potential to be a giant sieve again like a traditional PJ def.Tackles undersized with no depth.DEs undersized.very avg run def and NO rush. FOUR new DBs--that can not be good, esp at CB.(see DLs--no rush).LBs-ok.
THe BEST thing about next yr is the SCHEDULE.

All schedule all the time
 
If our o line doesn't suck we should be fine. Most years they suck.
 
Hopefully Sellers, the Morgan twin who is a DT, KCH, and Glanton spend the spring eating everything for them to get over 300lb plus bc we will need it in the interior. Not even getting my hopes for Kallon.

Not sure how you guys can forget about Taquon. He probably is our most complete Aback. He needs to hit the weights and protein shakes too so he can endure a full season.

PJ Davis needs to step up big time now and next year.

I don't think its possible for the 2016 offense to be worse. Lots of young guys are coming back with more experience, and a number of career underperformers on OL are departing. If JT regains his poise and decisiveness, and everybody else makes a few blocks I think this roster has the potential to put up some points. Or if nobody can block it will be the watch-JT-run-for-his-life offense again.

I was worried about the 2016 defense. Gotsis, White, Milton, and Golden are arguably our best 4 defensive players right now. Looking at who is returning, I'm less worried about the secondary than I was. The Austin twins have been somewhat inconsistent, but they are great athletes who are getting better every week. AJ Gray looks legit. A little worried about untested Step Durham and Corey Griffin. LB looks great. DE looks great. Definitely worried about DT. Unless Kallon (finally) steps up we will be starting a true Sophomore at DT with a r-Fr backup. Henderson was good enough to burn the redshirt, but that might just be a statement about how bad our depth was at this position.

Impossible to tell at this point. Could be a 6 win team, could be a 12 win team.

I largely agree with this except I would not be at all surprised to see JJ Green starting. I think we will struggle on defense and we will have a much better record than this year because of the schedule.

I have to admit, you are a football genius.
 
Quaide Weimerskirch.....he gonna be able to play next year? I ask both because I wanna know and I just had to type his amazing name.
 
What if JJ Green and Keith Marshall were our starting A-backs next year?
