He could loose 30lbs and weigh more than KingMeek said:ahhh yes, here we go already with the true freshmen starting in the defensive secondary is the way to get back to the top. how about let budda put on 15 pounds and get coached up before we anoint him the next savior again.
HTH

I don't disagree he'll be better than anyone else we have but i think we need to start the redshirt process right away and let the first year after sark exist with an eye on 2-3 years from now.puppylove_sugarsteel said:The tank is slam empty at safety . If we had 2 RS JUNIORS returning at safety I'd agree with you. Baker is possibly better at safety than anyone we have on the roster so of course he should play, he has to play if we want to win some games.. Sark had problems with preperation at certain positions.

Not with Budda. He's too good, just like Kasen, ASJ, Shaq, Sankey, Shelton. The best guys have to play, regardless of class. If he's the fourth best safety (not happening) then redshirting him is fine, but if he's in the top 3, he has to be ready to play. I am pissed about wasting guys like Kevin Smith, Ducre, Farria, Mathis, and Darrell Daniels, but if a guy is elite, you have to play them.Meek said:

Guys who don't redshirt should start or get solid playing time. Hopefully there will be no more guys like Daniels and Smith who only play on special teams, or Farria and Mathis who play only in blow outs.

This. It makes too much sense for Sark to ever consider doing it.NeGgaPlEaSe said:Shaq at strong safety..... It's a lot easier not to get "burned" playing the SS position with his skill set. He's not meant to shed muther fucking offensive linemen to make a tackle Road. He and Budda at FS in the back field, Kelly and peters at corner. Move Shirley back to a spot they can take advantage of his speed to the QB, and length to OLB, Feeney and Timu to add experience.

cool dude brah, but i don't think the 3 plays a year we notice Budda make as a true freshmen warrant blowing his redshirt. i'm just looking for the actual future.RoadDawg55 said:

and with Peterman's first year he should save his war horses for when he has his guys in there. Don't forget how Woody has downgraded the schedule so we play a watered down schedule we should be bowel eligible early and save the kid to build a championship quality group in year 3.

To be honest, that's a pretty nasty defense with the right coaching staff. I'm glad to ditch the pussified 3-4 and get Quals and Shelton on the field together, Shelton is a war daddy! Mathis and Jamora on the edge with Shirley targeting the QB. Petters and Dixon/Kelly with Shaq at Strong Safety, Buda at Free Safety. Timu will lead this defense with cerebral game and Feeny should return to form.
I'd be surprised if Peterson doesn't focus on returning defense to Montlake with this group.

The pieces are there to have a stifling D. All they need is good player development, position management, and schemes. I think Pete and C. will turn this D into a force in short order.

Redshirts are no longer popular. They make sense for positions that required a lot of strength and technique like the lines but few teams are going to Redshirt your skill positions if that kid can see the field.Meek said:

If you assume your player is going to stay in school 4-5 years you're likely fooling yourself. Kids want to play now and few will stay for that senior season if they find out they are likely to be drafted in the NFL.
Much of this comes from the new NFL rookie contract deal. You're playing for that second contract so why would you come back to be a senior unless you thought you could hop into the 1st round (larger pay)? Many Juniors are electing to leave get and get that 4 year contract started.
