mwj98 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 The announcers mentioned we are losing 8 starters on defense, but had some young guys stepping up, who could be impact players. Who are we losing and who are the back up players? My brain is mush right now. Quote Link to comment
caveman99 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Safety - PJ Smith and Stafford (back up Osborne as well) DB - no one that I can think of LB - Compton, Whaley, Fisher DT - Baker DE - Merridith, Martin (back up Carter as well) However we also have lots of players with decent playing time at many of the positions, and arguably a step up in overall talent level as well. The list below doesn't include promising talents on RS like Valentine and Thomas Brown. Safety - Harvey Jackson, Cooper CB - loosing no one I don't think =loaded LB - Santos, Anderson DT - Curry, Randle, Peat DE - Ankrah, Avery Moss Quote Link to comment

Nope, he is a RJr. this year. All CB's are returning except Bell and Blatchford. Basically everyone is back. Quote Link to comment
whateveritis1224 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Evans is a Junior, never redshirted. We also have Jonathon Rose that will probably play anywhere in the defensive backfield. Quote Link to comment
EZ-E Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 We are losing a lot of bodies on defense. But we are very well stocked on that side of the football. We've played a lot of guys there this year. Quote Link to comment
caveman99 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Evans is a Junior, never redshirted. We also have Jonathon Rose that will probably play anywhere in the defensive backfield. Yep my bad, knew he is just a Jr. this year. Not sure why I forgot he came in as a Fr. in 2010. Great to have him next year. Quote Link to comment

Yep my bad, knew he is just a Jr. this year. Not sure why I forgot he came in as a Fr. in 2010. Great to have him next year. He seems like he's been around forever, I thought he could be a senior too. I remember him wreaking havoc against Gabbert in Memorial, and it seems so long ago. Quote Link to comment
In the Deed the Glory Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Evans is a Junior, never redshirted. We also have Jonathon Rose that will probably play anywhere in the defensive backfield. Will immediately be the best player on the defense next year. Joseph called him "a bigger, faster version of Ciante Evans". Wow. Quote Link to comment

Will immediately be the best player on the defense next year. Joseph called him "a bigger, faster version of Ciante Evans". Wow. I will believe it when I see it. Same things were pretty much said about Seisy for this season, and haven't seen much of him. Quote Link to comment
whateveritis1224 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Seisay rolled his ankle a couple times during fall camp that put him behind. Also Rose played and I think started as a Freshman at Auburn. Quote Link to comment

WOW that says alot for a guy who hasn't played a down of college football He did play for Auburn as a true frosh, it is the reason he has 3 years of eligibility since he didn't RS there. As far as him being the best player everyone needs to settle down. He will be very good, but he still has to play in Bo's system. It will be a learning process regardless of how physically gifted he is. Quote Link to comment
