Warrior10 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 So, how does this change now that we know who is not going to be here next year and who is coming in? I took out Moss and added a few I thought wouldn't redshirt. OFFENSE QB Tommy Armstrong, Jr. - SO Johny Stanton RB Ameer Abdullah - SR Imani Cross - JR Terrell Newby - SO Adam Taylor Mikale Wilbon FB Andy Janovich - SO Offensive Line LT - Matt Finnin - SR/David Knevel LG - Jake Cotton - SR / Ryne Reeves - JR/Dwayne Johnson C - Mark Pelini - SR/Zach Hannon RG - Mike Moudy - SR /Chongo Kondolo/Givens Price RT - Zach Sterup - JR /Cory Whitiker/ Alex Lewis (I thought he was a OT not OG, maybe I am wrong). Wide Receiver X - Kenny Bell - SR / Sam Burtch- JR /Monte Harrison (I know he still might go baseball but he is fun to put on the list) A - Jamal Turner - SR / Jordan Westerkamp - SO Z - Alonzo Moore - SO / Taariq Allen - JR/ Brandon Reilly SR Tight End TE - Cethan Carter - SO/Greg Hart/ DEFENSE Defensive Line DE - Greg McMullen - SO/Joe Keels DT - Vincent Valentine - SO/Kevin Maurice DT - Aaron Curry - JR / Maliek Collins - SO/ DE - Randy Gregory - SR JR / AJ Natter Linebackers BUCK - David Santos - JR / Marcus Newby RSFR/ Nathan Gerry SO MIKE - Michael Rose - SO / Josh Banderas - SO WILL - Zaire Anderson - SR /Courtney Love Wouldn't be surprised to see Love go to backup MLB and Bando over to backup Will. I know the coaches talked about ways to get Bando and Rose on the field together. Secondary CB - Josh Mitchell - SR/ Boaz Joseph RSFR S - Corey Cooper - SR / DJ Singlton/Drake Martinez RSFR S - LeRoy Alexander - SO/Harvey Jackson - SR/Byerson CB - Jonathon Rose - JR / Charles Jackson JR PK - Mauro Bondi - JD/Drew Brown P - Sam Foltz - SO LS - Gabriel Miller - FR / Joseph Rotherham - JR H - Sam Foltz - SO KO - Mauro Bondi - JR KOR - Bell - SR; Abdullah - SR; Newby - SO; Moore - SO PR - Westerkamp - SO; Terrell Newby - SO Changed my thoughts in green, really excited for the defense.

True2tRA Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Any likelihood Maliek Collins passes up Curry for that DT starting spot? Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Any likelihood Maliek Collins passes up Curry for that DT starting spot? I don't think so. Curry was really solid and working his way up last year - was ahead of VV part of the time. Quote Link to comment
suh_fan93 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I like that update. I'm super excited to see Stanton and Mikale Wilbon next season on offense. Wilbon of course has quite the group of backs already ahead of him so it will be interesting to see what goes on there. It will be interesting to see how this defensive group plays too. They'll have some continuity despite being young. I think time played together goes a long way so I'm excited to see how our DL plays this year after one year under their belts. I think we'll be o.k. at defensive back and linebacker too. Quote Link to comment
True2tRA Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I don't care what anybody says - that pitch to newby in the msu game was not catchable. almost all of TA's option pitches are terrible. I don't know how ameer catches them, but it's nothing short of miraculous that he does. the pitch on the winning td in the the big house might have been the worst I have ever seen. That pitch in the Big house the worst you've seen? I love these cases where two people watching the same thing come to completely different conclusions. That pitch was masterful. There were 3 Michigan players between Tommy and the goal line that were focused purely on Abdullah. They were simply waiting for Tommy to pitch it to him. Tommy nearly pitched the ball but instead faked it and hesitated. He hesitated just long enough where specifically #57 for Michigan, and a couple other Michigan defenders, sucked in closer to Tommy. At that point, Abdullah had gone past Armstrong and Tommy pitched it forward perfectly. Tommy couldn't have played it any better than he did and I thought it was a great example of that playmaker ability he brings to the position. Can't wait to see more next season.

Curry was really solid and working his way up last year - was ahead of VV part of the time. I like Collins, but honestly, I love the potential of every one of them. We get that other DE spot locked down and I am very excited about the DL. Quote Link to comment

Curry was really solid and working his way up last year - was ahead of VV part of the time. I would disagree, there is a chance. Collins was pushing through the depth chart like it was nothing from after the Iowa game through the UGA game. But it won't matter because our top 4 DT's will play about the same amount. However I like the pair of VV and Curry, then Maurice and Collins....just like to match a massive run-stopper (VV and Maurice), with a athletic DT (Curry and Collins). Quote Link to comment

I would tend to agree but it's surprising to me how few of our RBs redshirt. Taylor was about the second one in the last 12 years or something like that. But it would probably to good for him to redshirt. Quote Link to comment

Newby's drop was "catchable" in that it was possible to be caught but it was a poor pitch. I think the Michigan game was two separate sets of circumstances. The final TD play was a GREAT play by TA - and there was nothing wrong with that "pitch" (technically a pass). Prior to that, every one of his option pitches was high, hard and behind AA - basically the worst combination you can have for a pitch. I was very impressed that AA was able to come down with each one of them - it would have been very easy to drop one. Thus it didn't surprise me when TA came out the next game and did the same thing to Newby and he didn't come up with it. Quote Link to comment

I agree about the possible redshirt and I thought about that too. So much talent ahead of him which isn't a knock on him. We're just stacked at running back. It will be fun to see how that turns out.

Count 'Bility Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 So in other words, one man has to do a perfect job in order for someone else to do their's? No wonder the world's screwed. 1 Quote Link to comment
