DL: Hill, Kidd, McDowell
LB: Boudreaux, McCaskill, Manac
DB: Turner, Johnson
These are the eight names I have heard the most. Sounds like Middleton is making a push as well. Thoughts on the other starters?

I would hope we run a 4-2-5 or 4-3Quote:

Gardner and Malbrue have had really good falls from what I have heard. I haven't seen a practice, so I'm not certain about anything. But I will go with Jacquet and Johnson at the corners, and Turner and Terik Miller at safeties. I agree with your starting DL, not certain that Manac will not back up McDowell or be in the starting lineup. I agree with Boudreaux and MaCaskill.Quote:

We had a huge no. of situations where teams called plays knowing they had four downs to move the chains. Our fourth down stop no. had to be a very low percentage. How much that unit improves is the key to more success.Quote:
