Does the CB Rose still have 3 years left?
Predict the starting defense Week 1, and by the end of the season

Yes. This will be his RS Sophomore year.
Him and Mitchell are probably our starting CBs next year - unless Charles Jackson moves back over to CB so Gerry or Singleton can take over safety again.

Our secondary has the potential to produce some major NFL talent in the next couple years. They love good size at the corner position and boy do we have some. I'm sure there will be a lot of rotating throughout the game because we have so many capable CBs but for some reason I think SJB and Seisay will get the nod. Two huge, fast, and physical corners.

How some of you are not putting our best defender on your list is mind blowing. Ciante Evans is a starting corner. He will slide to Nickel because of his ability in run help and because Bo's D doesn't have safety help for slot routes as often as it does outside receivers. When that happens a backup will play that outside spot. JP said this exact thing in July.
DE Jason Ankrah
DT Thad Randle
DT Kevin Williams
DE Randy Gregory
OLB Zaire Anderson
MLB David Santos
OLB Jared Afalava
CB Ciante Evans
CB Mo Seisay
S Harvey Jackson
S Corey Cooper
However against Wyoming we will play PESO so take out Santos and Afalava and Insert SJB and Jonathan Rose/Andrew Green

Haha. Good catch. If they allowed the golf club he could do well at safety.

Rose will start by the end of the season, if not the first game.

Nailed it! This is our starting lineup. Only switch could maybe be moss or McMullen for Gregory to start the year. Gregory will be a starter at some point this season though.

Only if he can grasp the mental aspect of the game. U don't put someone on out there with all the depth we have if u don't 100 percent trust a guy. I think he will have a role and it should expand as the year goes.

Oooo. Fun game.
1st week:
DE - Jason Ankrah
DT - Thad Randle
DT - Curry interchanges with Valentine
DE - Moss interchanges with Randy Gregory
Buck - Jared Afalava
Mike - David Santos
Will - Zaire Anderson
Nickel - Ciante Evans
CB - Ciante Evans or SJB depending on whether we're in Nickel or not.
CB - Josh Mitchell
S - Harvey Jackson
S - Corey Cooper
The only changes that I think might happen by the end of the season would be:
S - Charles Jackson beats out Corey Cooper or Jackson. He'll find his way on to the field somehow. Gerry could maybe get some snaps too, but he is awfully young to take on a position with so many responsibilities in Bo's playbook.
CB - Rose beats out SJB, but still shares lots of playing time with him.
DE - Gregory becomes a full-time starter and doesn't split time.
DT - Collins works his way into playing time.
One note: I'm really curious to see what happens to Andrew Green this year. I think he could be a great fit at SS. He's always had some pop in his hits, but lacked the major speed necessary to stay with some of the major WRs.

What about SJB? He is athletically built better than any other CB we have. Don't give up on him too soon...
