D-lineman for the Redmond hawks of pop warner fame? Is that you?Sledog said:
Being a former D lineman I am interested in them as well. Haven't seen or heard much about J. Johnson but he was highly thought of when recruited and I'd like to see where he's at. Pete raved about Gaines in his presser last year and Gaines made the two deeps as a true frosh to start the season but was then redshirted. Choate talked about Vea. Dissly , Topou etc. Lots of big bodies and lots of big shoes to fill but I think were gonna be OK! Great to see some flippin' depth!Passion said:Vita Vea and Greg Gaines - whichever one can fill the void.

I like you 55 but King is junk. Have never seen a safety come down and two-hand-touch a ball carrier like him. Biggest pansy I've e ver seen play safety at Washington. Would be a better corner. Dana Hall had similar measurables and equal pussyfied tendencies.RoadDawg55 said:I don't think it's a sure thing that King loses his starting job. He's familiar with the defense and is a good athlete. His athleticism makes him not a total lost cause. Nobody has ever watched Zeke Turner play.
I know this thread is about redshirt freshmen, but Joyner could win a starting job at CB or S. -
I don't think King is very good. He does have the athleticism to get better and Turner is basically a mystery at this point. Maybe he's not any good either.puppylove_sugarsteel said:

He "may" have athleticism but he's 6-3 168lbs. Rather put a lightweight linebacker with speed back there. Nobody fears our safeties. Go back and play Dick Tomey's or Lambright's safeties. WR's avoided the middle of the field and people got hurt. Havent seen a vicious hit from our safeties in years. Not once last year, the year before etc.... Milloy and Parrish had several EVERY game.
FreeThomas, Safeties play in the backend of the defense (a position you're fond of)...they patrol the secondary in pass coverage and run support. Good ones are fast, physical and quick to recognize plays. They're supposed to bring PAIN (something you receive nightly on the hill) and deter and prevent WR's and running backs from making big plays.
Now, what do you think of Kevin King as a safety? Do not consider his svelt and muscular frame and handsome smile. Those dont count Thomas;) -
I just like 6 foot 7 players with enough athleticism to play basketball. I'm curious if he'll be a TE or OT or DE.puppylove_sugarsteel said:
Plagiarism puppy. Nice work doogles. You obviously ran with my touting of Al Burleson Jr jr.Doogles said:So now that this recruiting class is over and ideally r hear about them for another two years, I was thinking about guys who redshirted last year and who I want to see the most after a year in the shadows.
Everyone knows about Mcgary on the Line, but I really am curious to see how Burleson developed. Does he look more like a lineman, TE, or someone Romar should poach if he wants to survive?
Also are any of the DBs we haven't seen yet going to step up and fill the void in Safety (JoJo? Gardenhire?) or are we just praying Ezekiel Turner is already a man? Kevin King is a freak athlete but he really needs to borrow some aggressiveness from Budda if he wants a chance to stay on the field. Generally if that hasn't happened by now it never will.
I don't remember anything you've said since More Cock left. It's like watching Jordan playing for the Wizards with you. -
Sean Parker fucked people up on occasionpuppylove_sugarsteel said:He "may" have athleticism but he's 6-3 168lbs. Rather put a lightweight linebacker with speed back there. Nobody fears our safeties.

Everyone is assuming it's Carta or Browning for the starting spot (and I understand why) but is there ANY chance that Lindquist will make strides in the off season and take it? I get the feeling he's peaked but you never know... any thoughts @Doogles ?HFNY said:I think Petersen was going to RS Magna Carta regardless of what Dude Brah left him with (Miley, Lindquist, Williams).
I'm guessing Magna Carta starts the season but if he struggles during the OOC schedule, then Petersen will turn to Browning. Or maybe Browning is so advanced already, he runs away with the job in fall ball. Tune in because either way, it will be interesting.Doogles said:
My only worry about Carta is that if he was good enough to supplant Miles, you figured it would have been worth burning the shirt before TSWO. Unless Peterman took a long look at the squad and just assumed (smartly) TSWO before it began and saved him.DugtheDoog said:Well, hopefully KJ MagnaCarta didn't win scout POY by default. I really hope he's a better version of his brother. If not, we could be fucked this year.
I know, water is wet POTD.
It might be doog speak, but if Browning is as good as I hope, he should be better as a TF than a guy who wasn't good enough as a TF to supplant Miley.

Only hope for king is that since his shoulder needed surgery he avoided the weight room and milkshakes apparently as well since as plss stated he weighs 168. Now that his shoulder is healthy maybe he can lift and get to 190-200lbs. JL is peaked in high school rob Lowe. His time has passed. Sean Parker dished out a few good hits.

I prefer the fundamental tackling approach to the big hit (or miss) mentality you seem to be pining for.puppylove_sugarsteel said:He "may" have athleticism but he's 6-3 168lbs.

FreeThomas, Safeties play in the backend of the defense (a position you're fond of)...they patrol the secondary in pass coverage and run support. Good ones are fast, physical and quick to recognize plays. They're supposed to bring PAIN (something you receive nightly on the hill) and deter and prevent WR's and running backs from making big plays.
Now, what do you think of Kevin King as a safety? Do not consider his svelt and muscular frame and handsome smile. Those dont count Thomas;)
The game has evolved past the headhunting days of the past. Hate it or love it, the guy that makes a sure tackle to stop the big play is more valuable than a big bruiser who gives the offense a free 15 yards and a 1st down. Those big hits also put people in wheelchairs.
What do you think about that, Jason Street? -

Best thing is that there will be competition and depth: Turner (my guess is that he'll play at 205-210 lbs), returning starter RS-JR King (hopefully he can get up to a buck ninety), and RS-Frosh McIntosh (listed at 191, probably will get up to around 200). Trevor Walker will be back though he suffered an ACL tear, is already a junior, and probably won't be 100% until midway through the season.

One of the coaches during season said JoJo was up to a solid 200lbs already so he may jump in the mix

I would love to see the Jake Locker to Safety experiment with Lindquist. Purely selfish, but it would be hilarious if he turned out alright.
While we're at it, let's do the Stanback/any black QB ever to WR experiment with Miley. -
