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...

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 |

that list is definitely young, I'm not sure if we'll get a 3rd year out of freeman as a starter. Pure speculation, but he will be highly touted by midseason if he lives up to expectations. If he is that good, it would be hard to return after two solid seasons with a high draft stock.

I know Gholston is a freaking monster, but Tres loves his seniors. I'd go with JRich at the other DE (opposite Wilson) and Kerr in the middle with Laurinaitis on the outside. I know, I'm boring. That also skews that young defense to a more senior-based one. Wait a second, was this what we want our defense to look like, or what we think it will look like when the season comes around?

What happened to the Two-Deep Guessing Game thread from about a month or so ago? I did a couple searches but it didn't come up...that thread had a ton of defensive predictions in it.
