Boulware seem to be another Shuey - it will take time for

him to make first team. I sure hope Stewart plays like he is capable of and can really hold off Boulware?

I think Boulware could be a first teamer this coming year, if it were anyone other than Anthony ahead of him. He reminds me of Luke Kuechly in a way.

Maybe he will learn another spot. My guess is the coaches will shuffle player positions if they think it is best

Good article Nicki, but I thought you were fired shortly after picking the Ohio State over Clemson in the Orange Bowl.

I think this will be the year the WHOLE defense comes together. I think with who is there, they will be stingy. I see MA, and GP/MJ at the corners and TB and Wiggins at safties. I think Kearse will continue to come in, but I think Kearse has a firm grip on that job as of now. I see Blanks working his tail off to get it back.

Kearse should have the safety spot on lock. He made a few mistakes but has shown that he is better than Blanks IMO. I believe Wiggins will earn a spot, and the suprises will be J.Johnson and Marcus Edmond. Both had good camps and scrimmages. If you look back at the highlights from camp you see alot of Johnson and Edmond. Venables clearly stated that they went with experience over talent. Now all of these guys have experience. I don't see Smith or Blanks keeping the starting spots. The younger guys are too physical and have too much speed.

IMA opinion it will be hard to keep Tankersley out of the starting lineup at corner. Coach V did go with experience over talent this past season and they have moved Tank back to his natural position of corner. I cannot see how you keep the fastest corner off the field and also the biggest.Kearse will not stay at safety for too long, he is going to gain weight on that frame and would be better suited for the SAM position. Marcus Edmond is a little more athletic then Johnson and Wiggins. Smith is a liability in the passing game and Blanks didn't fare to much better but he was playing hurt I think.

We seem to forget when Carlos was healthy he was a co- starter with Josh. I anticipate he will be back were he left off.

Carlos started a game or 2 before his accident and Josh will require off season surgery so he had an injury as well... I do not think he was full speed after mid season. I expect both of them to have a big impact next season. It would not surprise me if we had 3 DTs on the field at times.

We have lots of depth at tackle

I hope we rotate rotate rotate.... And wear them out. It'll be nice to see a team that you see no drop off with substitutions .... All the way three deep

I wish we would consider getting some experienced JUCO guys

Just seems like there have to be some top guys out there that want to come to Clemson.

For what position?
Jan 10, 2014, 3:17 PM
|

We seem pretty deep on the defensive side of the ball. I'd rather have a redshirt SO in his 3rd year at Clemson than a JUCO Junior who spent two years elsewhere.

Kicker position
Jan 9, 2014, 11:56 PM
|
|
Robby Lowman, a walk on kicker that will be starting conditioning this spring, is by far better than both Alex spence and Ammon Lakip. He will be the next reliable Catman.

Wouldn't be suprised to see Jones, Anthony and BB starting

TJ Burell is solid but like QC I don't see him being great physically compared to Jones, Steward, Goodson, and O'Daniel.

Seem like we have a great problem to have with the entire defense. Finding a place for so much talent. Tag team motto. Play them all. Orange unit and then the Purple unit.
