2007 Football preview and offseason fan talk

[RCAJUN90]

I did not attend any of the scrimmages this year, and I am, therefore, not qualified to offer any perceived explanation for the reported poor offensive showing. However, is it possible that Bustle instructed the officials to extremely strict in calling fouls by the offense? If they are SBC officials that makes it even worse for the offense.

Also, I am certain the guys are getting tired of hitting each other. A change in this aspect will help.

A good example of a defense that is ahead of the offense is Kansas City. They look pretty tough while their offense seems to be struggling to find a rhythm.

_ We have sooo many stunts in our def. package that I think this can cause a problem early for any offense---I think that showed in the second scrimmage--Now the penalties are something else that reps and mental practice can eliminate---The holding calls need to be addressed as well!!!! How did Morel do in the scrimmage???? _

Maybe just maybe our defense is better than we first thought? lol Our defense is all about attacking and that can cause a lot of probs early for the offense.

On another note in a real game Fenroy will get more touches and be able to soften up the defense even more.

About Morel I am not positive because I was not able to make the last 2 scrimmages.

Exactly what I was thinking earlier

My thinking too.

WTH, who said they could use "USC"??!!!

It's not their legal name! That has to be against the law!!

Don't they know they aren't THE "USC"?!!!

Blah, blah, blah...

I think you should give the name thing a rest. Football season is just around the corner. The only name I want to here is winner.

The tackle position on the Cajun defense isn’t very big or physical, but in the new defense quickness is more important. The Cajun Red Zone takes a look at the athletes that will contribute on the depth chart at the defensive tackle position for the 2007 season.

The rivals link is the best place to get good football chat. of course we have our share of idiots as does everyone, so if you encounter them i apologize in advance. Southern cal is legally "USC" and actually ironically we are " The USC". LOL hoping for a good game with no injuries.

Ok. Well I will try to clear it up as best i can. First Mitchell has appealed the Athletic Departments suspension. His appeal is based on his and his advisors claim that he dropped the class in question and thats why he stopped going. Now if he is out he will be replaced by chris smelley who is a great student and highly touted prospect. not tested though. Garcia is the freshman QB that is redshirting this year. He did have troubles in the spring off the field but comes from good family and will be fine. Chris hail is the CB that is suspended NOT Carlos thomas. Thomas is fighting to start in the opener and will play a lot either way. Spurrier ran the score up before because the depth was so strong, not sure that is the case here yet. hope that sheds a little light on it. anyways. take care

Well I have to say. That Article is from the university paper and written for students by a student. That being said, with our history we dont tend to overlook anyone. You guys will be respected. to give you a breakdown

DL - Is returning 4 starters(including Norwood who didnt start but led team in sacks so he played a lot), but excitement is on four new guys. little misleading because 1 is coming from JC, 2 from prep school, all tru freshman but all been in school since January. So went through winter conditioning, Spring ball, and Summer conditioning. Lots of size and speed. True two deep here.
LB - Led by Jasper Brinkley at MLB Around 260 and very , very fast. His Twin brother moves from DE to OLB despite an outstanding season last year at de. and Rodney paulk(all SEC freshman team) at other OLB. second team has former starters, so should be depth here also.
Secondary - Should be best group. Strong 3 man rotation at CB. return all SEC freshman SS. and return starter from last year at FS, but starter from 05 is now back and will be 1st team.

QB - Think we have 2 maybe 3 that can get it done.

RB - Strong point of team. Boyd and Davis will be one of the best tandems.

WR - really just returning kenny mckinley. Loads of young talent but no one has proven a thing.
TE - Again Young Talent but unproven
OL - Tackles are good, but interior line is not doing well it seems. so if your tackles are good, def some opp there.

now all that said. The Game is played between the white lines. We will see how it transitions from paper to the grass. We traditionaly do not play well in openers. Will we take a step this year. Who knows. Good Luck and heres to a game with no injuries.
