Depth Chart - Defense
by DarthMonk » Fri Mar 13, 2015 10:43 pm
At the end of last year it looked something like this:
Jenkins Baker Hatcher
Kerrigan Riley Robinson Miller
Breeland Thomas Clark Amerson
Now it looks more like this:
PAEA KNIGHTON HATCHER w/BAKER AND FRANCOIS IN ROTATION
KERRIGAN ROBINSON RILEY MILLER w/KEARSE, MURPHY AND COMPTON IN ROTATION
HALL IHENACHO ROBINSON CULLIVER w/BREELAND, AMERSON, AND THOMAS IN ROTATION
The line is brand new, better, bigger, deeper. The corners are a very good group. The backers ( - Riley?) could be real good. We've done more at safety than people realize. There are guys we can let go (or not) and gain as much as $10-$15 M if we really wanted to. We haven't even drafted yet.
I like what I see.

We all hope Thomas can develop...
I also hope Harcher can play more, but it looks as tho when he is out we wont have as much drop off as last year.. the Dline looks to be a strength now with solid depth. Where does run stuffing Jarvis Jenkins figure in to the mix?

The big thing is, those 3 guys up front change EVERYTHING for the other 8 guys.
You can get creative in bringing the OLBs for a rush
Your ILBs can play in coverage
Pressure on the QB means your DBs can jump routes easier and get more takeaways
Penetration to the backfield means better run stopping, less runs, and more predictable play from an offense
The benefits go on and on...

getting better play out of our offensive and defensive lines should not be too difficult considering ... the additions on defense are great to see - we should also see better play from our offensive line this year but that's not going to be hard to achieve either
the key is to add about 7 good starters on defense and about 4-5 on offense before the 2017 season
I'm looking forward to seeing these guys continue to add good young players here

Until recently, Snyder & Allen have made a lot of really bad decisions - nobody with any sense believes this franchise will get better under their guidance
Snyder's W/L record = 45% (80-96) - Snyder/Allen = 41% (59-84-1)

Im hoping if we stay at #5 we get Donte Fowler... kid is very smart and skilled, and with this d line and kerrigan would be ridiculous. The way we would be able to move him around disguise him in coverage, swap him and kerrigan...qbs would not be able to figure us out at the line and assign blockers.

I may be missing something, but why at this point is Miller starting over Murphy?
It is still very clear DB and DE are our areas of concern. I think I am beginning to understand what Scot wants to do at the DE position and don't disagree with it --- as long as we have OLBs that can apply pressure. We have one in Kerrigan, but that isn't enough and neither Murphy nor Miller have the ability to execute this on the other side. Based on this, I wouldn't be surprised if we see Scot draft an OLB at #5.
That said, DB would still be the more obvious choice..... we still need another DE, though.

RIP Sean Taylor. You will be missed.

Looks like we've got a new SS, for now at least. Let's see what Jeron Johnson can do.

Riggo- is there OLB top 5 talent out there this year?? I dont follow NCAA super close.. didnt know much about Kerrigan when we drafted him, and we all knowbhow well that worked out.
I reserve hope for past draftees- Thomas, Amerson, and Murphy.. Murphy wasn't Rak his rookie year but he was serviceable- when he wasn't making bonehead penalties that is.

I think we've done well since January to shore up SS. Bringing back Inenacho and signing Jeron Johnson were both good moves. I anticipate that those two will fight it out for the starting job, and Philip Thomas is still there to provide additional depth. All of that seems solid to me. Maybe our long-term starter isn't in this group, but I have confidence that this position will be stronger than it has been in years.
Of course, free safety is still a disaster waiting to happen. Trenton Robinson as a backup is OK I guess but doesn't inspire confidence. I've never been a fan of the talk of moving Hall to safety — I remember back when Springs made the same kind of noise, and it just never made sense to me. We need a starter to come from somewhere.

Digging the new defense. On paper it looks way better than the previous units, of the last three years. Note how I wrote on paper.
