We also had DE's playing DT (Glover & Pernell). Also had another LB playing DT (Hairston II), though I think he's too big (250) to play LB and I think he should be at DE. You can have 250 lb OLBs in a 3-4 base scheme. They just have to be athletic enough to play without a hand in the dirt and run sideline to sideline quickly. Yeah. I'm concerned about his athleticism to be able to do that. We'll see if he proves me wrong if they play him as a LB.

Well, it appears that Jamison Warren is back and healthy, so we should be good at the slot positions. I'm not sure about the outside WRs or anyone else. We certainly need Caldwell to be better. If Warren is back and is healthy, we could have up to 4 legitimate options in the passing game. That will be a vast improvement over 2023. Of course, that's all predicated on the QB getting the ball to them on time and those options not dropping it. I feel that Nick Dobson and Jamison Warren will be our two best receivers if they are healthy. What about Amonte? He was our most productive receiver last year.

To me, all 3 having productive seasons in the passing game will go far in us actually going out and shocking a few teams. And we can't forget about Blizzard and Christian having opportunity to catch the ball out the backfield, making plays in space. To me, Caldwell is the one that has to really step up to get the passes he wants thrown to him this season. With Warren back and a new OC that actually uses the Tight Ends and Backs in the passing game, opportunities may not come if he doesn't show up and make plays in Fall Camp.

Well, if they are dropping passes, I'd have to say that will be a problem since the primary role is to catch the ball. I know Bell, Leslie and Wilson spoiled us to death but, we should be able to get some above average receivers on the field, right? And if you cannot catch, you are not above average, my opinion.

The fact that we had a true freshman linebacker playing defensive end says a lot about the depth of the defensive line last year. I'm glad that he's moving to his natural position. Also a positive that he said immediately that we have to stop the run this year. We also had DE's playing DT (Glover & Pernell). Also had another LB playing DT (Hairston II), though I think he's too big (250) to play LB and I think he should be at DE. If he is athletic and can play in space..i.e pass cover . And still be able to execute his assignments 250 is not to big . Hell Devin White for Oklahoma is 260. Don't pigeonhole the young man if he can play and ball he can play and ball.

Our QB room has me excited. Our RB room has me excited. Our OL room has me hopeful. Special Teams...dont we have someone replacing Taymond running back kick-offs. We really blocked nicely at times during kick-offs.
That Thurs Nite at Wake has me excited.

I thought we signed or had a few young men with similar speed. I like the mix of youth and experience on the O-line. Hopefully, they gel early to give the team balance and improve the passing game. I am not as concerned about the D-line. They showed a lot of fight last year to be undersized and on the field too long. Overall, I am excited to see how we look this season, and I must admit that I check the rosters every day to see who has been added. Still looking to see if all the O-line signees made it to yard.
