Defense:
Specialists:
And a few observations:
- ‘Bama leads the list, with seven total. Predictions of a dynasty ending may be a bit premature.
- Second place goes to LSU, with four. Chase and Stingley are picked as the conference’s offensive and defensive players of the year. And this is the team some pick to finish as low as fourth in the West?
- No TAMU players, speaking of teams expected to finish ahead of LSU.
- Trask at QB is a lazy pick. Costello is a bolder choice.
- Two Georgia players, with zero on the offensive side of the ball. Depth is nice, but having a game changer or two helps, as well.
Your thoughts?
Offensive line which has supposedly been a strength over the last few years now is a weakness. However after what I saw last year I don’t know if the OL was as a big strength or not.

Yeah they need all the other teams in the league to read their stuff. Check back at the end of the season and we’ll have 4-5 on defense and probably a few on offense as well.

Five most-likely to make the list on offense:
1) Hill – how the fuck isn’t he on this list now?
2) Newman – Trask is a noodle-armed bitch
3) Zeus – Dude is gonna open eyes. Having good spacing with WRs and a less predictable offense will also help the run game improve
4) Salyer – Kid is a beast.
5) McKitty – Yeah, over Pickens. Look, the two WRs on the preseason all-SEC team are amazing. Pickens is still young. McKitty though, is gonna feast on passes over the middle, up the seam in Monken’s offense.
Five most-likely to make the list on defense:
1) Stokes – Much like Hill, how the fuck isn’t on this list now?
2) Ojulari – Dude could get 10 sacks this year.
3) Rice – He’s a tackling machine.
4) Dean – Yeah, over Smith. He’s on the inside, Smith on the outside. Dean has a chance to be the new Roquan.
5) Davis – He puts it all together this year and makes himself a ton of money in the draft.

Thanks. I honestly just picked the most obvious peeps I could think of given the situation. Except McKitty. I think he’s gonna thrive in Monken’s system.

Potentially DRb, Cook can have much better years. Really lots of guys. I just don’t think the general audience and writers really appreciate how horrible bad horrible Coley and are offense play design and passing trees were. quite literally the worst I’ve ever seen and an incredibly utterly maddening waste of some the most talent we’ve ever had. I’m not a from fan but I even think he would have done better.
I can explain it this way. I had not watched pro football in almost 20 years. I hated are offense so much that I started watching some of the top NFL teams just a wash my brain out of how horrible our office was. And help compare and contrast when I was seen with Georgia versus affective offices. We were absolutely terrible horrible insanely badd. Overcame by amazing talent. 33!!!!! Inside zone runs against SC. We should have been able to put 50 points on South Carolina.

I seriously don’t understand how a QB that was one of the worst in all CFB last year in throwing balls that travelled ten or more yards through the year beyond the line of scrimmage can be the best QB in the SEC.
I hate how narratives (over reality) drive everything in the media, all the media. This narrative about Trask is not rooted in any kind reality, yet it’s the narrative, so that means it must be reported and disseminated for all to read. 🤦🏻♂️

Trask is going to throw a lot of interceptions this year. He should have thrown a lot last year but was lucky.

Yeah, I’ve made that point over on SDS.
No team had more wins in one score games over the last two years in the SEC than Florida.
This is the year that ball bounces the other way. They are an 8-4 team. They’re gonna lose to us, to LSU, and two times to the group of UT, Sakerlina, UK, Ole Miss, and Mizzou.

Because the punditry are a bunch of morons.
We had the second-best defense in all of CFB last season. Eric Stokes should be on the pre-season All-SEC team. So should Monty Rice. That they’re not is ridiculous oversight.
Trey really should’ve been on this team. It’s fucking insane he isn’t.
