RE: Book it? - New Recruit at Center (Football) - Larry Landry
bbutler63 Wrote:Our defense has been undisciplined in their play for the past couple of years. They were constantly out of gaps. One guy gets out of a gap and it can look like half the defense is missing. One of the best DT's I played against was Turk MrBride at UT. He was only about 275-280, but he understood how to play. He was quick off the ball, attacked edges, and never gave you his chest. Our guys give you their chest too much and attack the middle of the blocker instead of the edge. If you are squared up with the blocker, you are not in a gap. We have talent up front. I think they are really close to getting it. I think Clint McDonald and Freddie Barnett can be two of the better DT's in the league. Also look for Charlie Bryant to come along. He is a legit 6'6 315 and freakishly strong. If the light switch ever goes off, he will be close to unblockable.
You said it all right there in a nut shell. I am frankly still baffled. You could see that Barnett was strong at times and has a lot of potential but I notice that blockers were getting to his body. I am praying for a big difference in our defense with the acquisition of DC Tim Walton.

I think or hope that Tigerx3 was being sarcastic.

I saw an article that was a couple weeks old where a teammate of his in JC that committed to JSU said that he was coming too. That's hardly a solid commitment.
