Agree. He should be better than Shamburger. He will probably be better in coverage than Parker too.He_Needs_More_Time said:I really don't see Baker starting as a problem. Talented freshman start all the time and I'd feel better with him back there than a 5th year guy like Will Shamburger who was another Doog legend who totally sucked ass.

Petermans entire offense is predicated on flexibility - would be surprised if his d wasn't similar

The thing I hope for the defense this season is that one or two of our young DT step up. We have been pretty lucky the last couple years with Danny Shelton basically not missing a snap. I suspect an injury to him would have been the most damageable to the team. So let's see if we can give him a bit of help.

Yes this is a big key.The_Undertaker said:The thing I hope for the defense this season is that one or two of our young DT step up.

Kikaha coming back last year was huge for the DL. Kikaha, Tanigawa and Smith all came back healthy after missing 2012. Really fortunate for that...added at least 1 victory to the overall total.
Hopefully Qualls and Mathis can add push and Farria heat. -
I'm most excited about Qualls. I want him to be a more mobile interior beast alongside big danny.

Looking forward to Lindquist taking the reigns on offense.
Colin Tanigawa's transition to RB is curious, to say the least. He certainly has the attitude and is ready to rumble; it'll be interesting to see how this plays out. Or not. -

You're thinking I'm racist for thinking Lindquist will win the QB comp? Because its seems like you're insinuating that I believe Lindquist will win because he is white.He_Needs_More_Time said:

There's no reason that Budda at minimum will not be a major contributor against the passing game as a true frosh.
If you're super concerned that he doesn't have the bulk to be able to stand out to physical ground games, you can either limit his plays against those types of teams in favor of better options or play him as the last line of defense and away from the physical pounding.
The way football is played today with the spread, it's more of a tackle version of 7 on 7's than it is trying to avoid the big uglies road grating you. -
safeties have some of the hardest collisions on the field every week even when they are playing a finesse team. If a qb is going to hang balls up in the air the safety is expected to make a play on the ball or knock someone out. I hope I am wrong but history is what it is with playing freshman early on defense. Almost always get hurt and it delays their development.
The main issue is who is there at safety right now. I fear you're right that he is going to be a major contributor good or bad / ready or not.
Beaver- Somewhat highly recruited out of high school but hasn't done anything yet. May be good, may be not. Hasn't stood out on special teams yet. Played and was probably told to be super conservative vs byu.
Walker- Not a big guy, don't know much about him, made no impact last year.
King- Tall but paper thin, around the ball a lot last year which makes me think he may have good awareness (small sample size) but now he is hurt. -
I get what you're saying, man. I've seen all 3 QBs and I can't explain it but Lindquist has something the other two just don't have. Just looking at him you can tell he's a kid who excels in academics, comes from a good solid family, and has outstanding values. If you were a CEO Lindquist is the kind of kid you would hire without hesitating or worrying that your inventory would go missing. He's the kind of kid you would want your daughter to go to prom with and not have to worry that shed be getting banged on a bare mattress on the floor of a basement while 6 of his friends watched, hooting and hollering all the while. Lindquist just seems to look like a kid who has all of these qualities. The other guys, I'm not so sure. I can't put my finger on what it is about him that leads me to believe this but I'm confident he will emerge as the starter. -HughPostGameOrangeSlices said:

Move Troy Williams and Cyler Miles to WR. The QB position is in good hands with Lindquist and Carta-Samuels.
-
I wonder if Andrew Hudson will make an impact on the DL after missing a year. He was probably the 2nd or 3rd best DL on the 2012 team. Same with Shirley. Is he really that bad against the run that they have to keep him sidelined?
-
Baker ain't Jack. He may get there one day, but he sure isn't there now.
