the empire strikes back

>>The linebackers should be good.

Best group since 98. Moore is good, Whiteside has been impressive during the Spring, but Burnett may be the guy people are talking about seasons end.

Battle may be a first rounder, but our secondary is very small otherwise. What else is new. We take speed over size to ridiculous proportions.

at DT, Moore is a good 2 gap run defender, and he has some agility. What we will miss is the pass rush Henderson and Haynesworth gave up the middle.

>>I guess Hand is entrenched at the one end but I'd like to see Neal come on over Ritzmann.

Ritzmann will start. I'd see Hand faltering first, and Dickerson is more a threat than Neal.

I'd almost just as soon go to a 3-4 with Ritzman playing rush linebacker.

that makes some sense. I think he's the one with the size.

definately, but no worse than FSU. Still, they're talented back there, so that never hurts.

>>What we will miss is the pass rush Henderson and Haynesworth gave up the middle.

Oh, no doubt. Hard to replace two high first rounders, but you're better equipped than UNC.


>>I'd almost just as soon go to a 3-4 with Ritzman playing rush linebacker.

With your skill set, that makes a lot of sense. Plenty of linebackers to fill in the three LB spots, one or two candidates to play the 4th spot to rush, two big bodies, and a guy like Hand is good enough to play one end spot.

 

that's the only question mark on this team, albeit a MAJOR one.

fsu is back.
