Now let's see what we can get from the young guys who have shown stuff before too.. Davis, etc
gotta give playmakers a shot, the guys that can turn a 5yd throw to a 20 yd gain, etc
can't wait to watch the cap of this game

anthony bryant isnt as young as we keep making it seem. hes 29, but he has played well and could fill a role next season. i thought rob jackson looked extremely good today. kevin barnes stepped up. macho harris did an alright job i suppose considering the circumstances.
on the veteran side, ive been very impressed with vonnie holiday. he has played all across the defensive line and works hard, never complains, and is a good role model for our young guys.

I've gotta root for Macho seeing as I'm a Tech fan as well.. hope he can continue making an impact until we get the position refilled

macho would be a good guy to keep around either way. he can play any position in the secondary and could be a good special teams guy at the very least, returned kicks in college as well

Part of me is happy but a bigger part just thinks maybe our coaching is pretty good and our vet players just suck. Guys like Rob Jackson coming in and contributing as much as a guy like McIntosh is telling.

Nah, our tackling has regressed, we get penalized at the worst times on special teams, and Kyle took a few steps back this week with regards to playcalling. Kyle may improve once he gets "unspoiled", but the other two should know how to coach fundamentals.

It's not like you are say, biased, in anyway. Not like you are a VT fan and want to see VT guys on the Skins or anything....

Rob Jackson looked like a real nice fit at OLB - a very pleasant surprise. Kevin Barnes making a play was big too. Hopefully these guys get a chance to play bigger roles next season.

Maybe we dont need so many fills as we thought on defense.
Barnes has stepped it up, and can play just about anywhere at a good level. I would like to see Rogers come back. He may not make many INT's, but he's pretty solid in coverage most of the time.
Rob Jackson, and Orakpo as our 2 OLB'S? I like the sound of that.. Now every dog has his day, but Jackson was a machine today. He was abusing the tackles, and making great solid tackles in open field as well flying around the field.
As far as ILB. I would part ways with Rocky. He's just not cutting it, and half the time his tackling is below average and he doesn't shed blocks very well.. it's amazing to watch Fletcher fly around the field being 6 or so years older then Rocky. I like Perry Riley as well, so if we can pick up a little more depth in this position I would be happier.
Our strongest of the defense is our DB's imo. Besides the lack at FS, but Macho looked okay there today. Atleast he was making tackles, and laying the wood. Unlike Moore who can't tackle high school RB's.
Bryant is looking pretty solid at NT, and has been doing 100x better a job then Kemo has this year atleast in game time. Maybe we should use the 2nd round to pick up some depth here?

ok? i said he could be a good special teams player and backup secondary player due to versatility, its not like i said he was going to be a pro bowler...and yes ive liked him for a long time.
