Would be nice.

We might make a couple more stops last week with Dillon.

Poor guy, not sure he or Craft can stay healthy.

Dillon was in Beast Mode last Spring, and Craft is a difference maker on the field. I hope they can both come back 100%.

Go Tigers!

I agree. If these two guys are healthy then they can help the team greatly. I have real questions though that either guy can bounce back from those problems. I hope they can.

I think they both get approved for the 6th. I wish Sam would convert to defensive secondary. We have a need. May help him stay healthier. Not sure how much he helps on O at this point.

Maybe Sam would help the basketball team out too. He’d be the best recruit they have

Both are fantastic players, and we could use the experience they could bring next year.

Need to take it easy on these Dudes in practice, green shirts, let them run the plays, no contact until late summer
Limited playing in cupcake games and then turn the Dudes loose..
Sammy should play Defense

With a healthy Dillon we're prob in the peach bowl...with gentry and Dillon it would have been a given...those are the breaks though but to be 10-2 at this point is something else.

Why do people put Dillon on a pedestal

Can never have too many offensive playmakers and stoppers on defense. Like Brandon Hayes was in his sixth year, they'll be the hungriest of the hungry on the team and with all their experience, you're getting two more coaches.

Cause when he was healthy he was pretty damn good...it was hard to get on the outside with his speed and he was a sure fire NFL player but injuries happen...is what it is...does that answer your question?

Sounds like maybe Craft is not sure he wants to come back for a 6th year.

Sure fire NFL player?

pffft...Look up his stats. I think your memory is a bit off.

If Dillion was a sure fire NFL player Avery must be a sure fire NFL 1st teamer

lol I never said he was going in the first rd but he was going to be a draftable type player after his senior before all of his injuries...Smh

Anyways my point of this conversation was our defense took a huge hit losing him and gentry and with those guys we're prob playing auburn.

NFL player means you actually make the practice squad...

Dillon best year he made 43 tackles at Linebacker...I doubt he gets drafted if he maintained that level

Obviously not but he had huge upside and was getting better as a sophomore with some real nice games,think he played banged up a lot his junior year...hopefully now he can get that waiver and contribute...it's all we can hope for.
