LSU is running completely different formations, 4 wide...
- Thread starter 46885
- Start date
That is crazy but then again look at what happened in that Tenn game when thinking about lines.
Not imo. We are just too small on the D line. I would like to be wrong on that.
DE Bryan Cox 6-3 269
DT Taven Bryan 6-5 293
DT/NT Khairi Clard 6-2 319
DT Caleb Brantley 6-2 297
DE Cece Jefferson 6-1 262
Right behind them:
OLB Daniel McMillian 6-1 223
ILB Alex Anzalone 603 241
ILB Jarrad Davis 6-2 238
OLB Kylan Johnson 6-1 231
And right behind them:
CB Quincy Wilson 6-1 213
FS Marcus Maye 6-0 216
SS Marcell Harris 6-1 211
CB Jalen Tabor 6-0 201
Nic/Dime Duke Dawson 5-10 208
Nic/Dime Nic Washington 6-0 197
There is plenty of good size imo, it's the depth with experience that might hurt them.
Yep we are small and the one real big guy isn't playing that well.
There are many times we have Jefferson and 2 light DEs out there with maybe one other guy that actually has some weight.
Cece probably played better than everyone on the DL yesterday from what I remember without watching the film yet
He did make some nice plays but it is scary thinking our current D line has to hold up against LSUs running game for 60 minutes.
What you gain in lard-azz pounds, you lose in side to side speed and straight up quickness.
What would you like each position to weigh?
I use the 'official' GatorZone Bio's. They are either up to date and correct, or not...

Well Bama is known for being able to stuff the run if that is what their primary focus is. Do they have any 260 lb D Tackles playing a ton of snaps?
Sigh..unless Fournette or any other running back they have runs backward, we are gonna be on the field a long time defensively. We will be there but I have a feeling its going to be a quiet crowd after the 1st quarter. Noon kickoff. Ugh the wife will be sleeping in the Rover on the drive up Saturday morning..
~ UF is not Bama, and our HC has not been here for 8-9 years yet.
~ No, and neither does UF.
DE/DT CeCe 6-1 261 ***** is being forced inside because of current injury/depth problems.
However, he seems well able to play either position fairly well so far.
But you failed to address my lard/quickness point, and you failed to answer (what weight do you want) my question.
(your dodge-ball ain't workin') a team with bad coordinators with injuries and not any good overall, especially if Del Rio can't play the whole game.. read more posts on the board. If you lost to Florida that would actually be pretty bad given the circumstances right now and start putting O for head coach to bed early
Serious question, out of curiousity:
If Ed wins out or maybe only has one loss, would you be cool with him as your next coach?
I think that they are going to run it down our throat...I HOPE that I'm wrong but I think that we are going to get pounded.
I don't know how you can criticize a defense that gives up 267 yds, 6 pts, no TDs, I don't care who you're playing. We had a makeshift DL, that's why they ran the ball on us as well as they did but they still didn't put the ball in the end zone
Hard to see it any other way. I could see us slowing it down for maybe a quarter but that is probably it. I think we won't get lucky and catch a flat LSU team since Miles got fired. They probably have Missouri game level effort this game also and their is too much of a talent difference in the two teams.
I think that we'll come to play but honestly the only game that we've played a complete is against UK and they are just terrible. Yeah LSU hasn't been that consistent either, we'll see what happens but with some of our experienced D Line out I think that it's going to get ugly for us as the game goes on. Imo our only chance is if LDR plays and the office is lights out and get get 2-3 turnovers and points off of them. I hope I'm wrong but after the last couple of games my hopes of seeing a consistent effort from this team is going away.
We can get turnovers, Collins is just gonna have to be committed to taking away the run though which we sometimes aren't (from an alignment standpoint anyway.) Get them into a few passing situations and who knows what can happen. But if they're getting 4 yards on the ground on their 1st down carries we're doomed. We won't ever be able to force them into any mistakes.
How big do you really need to be? Just Big of heart maybe?

Not to bad for a guy that many thought-said was too small for the position....
Physical size on the field or court, really does not matter as much as the other traits.
