Should we be concerned about the DL?

[State43]

With Bailey entering the transfer portal now, why are multiple players who could likely be primary players next season leaving?

 

[ForbinsAscynt]

Which Bailey?

 

[CyCrazy]

Which Bailey?

Well the older one is going into the draft/ nfl udfa route. So his younger brother.

 

[CyTwins]

No we shouldn't. Lee and Singleton at NT is huge

You could just try reading all the other threads about how well stocked we are on the DL.

 

[awd4cy]

We still will be very talented on the DL next year, but it's hard to deny that unit will take a slight step back. Don't get me wrong, DL will still be good.

you’re missing one. I thought maybe C. Bailey was transferring. Smart ass lol

How many minutes separated them at birth?

 

[CloniesForLife]

I trust Heacock and Campbell to figure it out. Might be a bit of a learning curve early in the year. Lots of talent still.

 

[CyCrazy]

How many minutes separated them at birth?

2.7

I heard on AM radio that Bill Bailey might come home.

Because they have completed their degree and want to go somewhere else.

Why would you be worried about Josh Bailey leaving? I love the Bailey's but he barely played this year as a Rs Sr., his departure isn't going to make a dent.

He wouldn't be a primary player, he'd be at best a 2nd teamer but more likely a 3rd teamer just like this year.

So best guess, what's our 3 deep going to look like this fall?

Nope, it’s not really hard to deny.

First off, coming into this year, the middle of the DL was wide open. We’d seen a brief glimpse of Isaiah Lee ages before, but it turned out that he and Josh Bailey really had just been waiting their turns.

Next fall, the same thing applies to guys like Corey Suttle and Blake Peterson. They’ve just been waiting their turns. And Will McDonald and Zach Petersen both already have a lot of PT the last two years. Toss in Lee, and we’re actually ahead of this time last year.

Then, you add someone like J.R. Singleton into the mix, and we have a chance to even be way better that ‘20.

And those aren’t all of the names I could mention. Giggity!

FYI: Bankston is going to the ULL-Ragin Cagins.

Seems odd right? why leave a preseason potential top 10 team where you are going to see significant minutes to go to ULL?

 

[Mr Janny]

This is a quality response, right here.

 

[Aclone]

So best guess, what's our 3 deep going to look like this fall?

DE Will McDonald, Corey Suttle
DT Tucker Robertson, Johnny Wilson, Howard Brown
DT Isaiah Lee, J.R. Singleton, Tyler Onyedim
DE Zach Petersen, Blake Peterson

(Wilson remains to be seen whether inside or out, but at 6’2” 272 this Fall, I’m guessing “in”)

Edited: “Wilson”. I blame autocorrect.
