What's Your Starting Defense?
There has been a lot of talk about this year's defense and for obvious reasons, and it seems like there will be alot of competition at each position. So Who do you guys think the starters will be when the season comes around?
Here's my take:
DE-Lawrence Wilson
DT-Quinn Pitcock
DT-David Patterson
DE-Vernon Gholston
OLB-Marcus Freeman
MLB-James Laurinaitis
OLB-Larry Grant (I think Grant will move Laurinatis to the inside therefore taking Ker out of the 1st unit)
CB-Malcolm Jenkins
SS-Jamario O'Neal
FS-Nick Patterson
CB-Antonio Smith (I think Smith gets the nod at the season-opener but Amos will eventually win over the job)
Thoughts?

I'd have to say that Ginn gets the nod at the other corner...

Some interesting movement on the chart there. Add to the fact that jwins has seen these guys actually play this spring, he might be on to something. |

The first thing that jumped out at me when I saw JWins list was the youth on the defense...
2006 eligibility
DE - Wilson SOPH
DT - Patterson SR
DT - Pitcock SR
DE - Gholston JR... maybe SOPH with medical RS
SAM - Terry JR
MIKE - Laurinaitis SOPH
WILL - Freeman SOPH
BC - Jenkins SOPH
FS - Patterson SOPH
SS - O'Neal SOPH
FC - Washington FR
(NB - Russell) FR
If that does hold out, this should be an excellent unit in 2007 (and even 2008, with 6 of the back 7 returning). Oh, and 2006 should be alright as well
