I am watching how good our whole d plays as a whole. I think I am excited to see 3 linebackers playing against LSU for most of the game. There are gonna be some big hits.

Bostic and Jenkins have to be more physical than they were last year vs LSU & Bama. I dont worry about Morrison being physical. They also have to play better on outside runs.

Hard to be physical when its an OL blocking you every play^

Yeah but with Ball, Kitchens, Morrison, Taylor and possibly Jenkins, we have way more depth on the outside to protect against the outside runs... And also more physicality for sure...throw in McCray and Fowler at buck, and that's pretty solid outside play

We have been getting worked on outside runs this year. CWM said they were going to clean that up on the by week so hopefully the DB's and LB's get it together because if we can make LSU one dimensional I like our chances.

But compare our getting worked on outside runs last year to this year, I think we made considerable strides. Still not perfect I agree, but our 2nd half d looks so much more impressive seeing how the teams we beat are playing... And Kentucky can run... I think we did well with our nickel out there most of the time

Yea, but you'd have to admit it was a pretty bad half and for those of us that don't see practice it's hard to see how he would be our best tackling DB. Gotta believe there are better options at safety.

well according to the coaches he is the best tackling corner and proves it in practice. But I don't see him playing safety

Back to Jalen Ramsey.....is it safe to assume the above-average probability that Ramsey doesn't go to USC? With those odds increased, especially in favor of UF, what hindrance is there to him not going to UF? I know UT is not in the mix, but haven't heard any other schools high on his list aside from USC & UF

He went to Bama last weekend. He will probably go to Vandy sometime this year. Right now he is still 100 percent committed to USC.

I think he is still pretty solid to USC, as well. I wouldn't count UT out of this one, however, he is on record saying that he has been impressed that they keep coming at him.

Hope we're still working Alexander hard. He seems like at least as good a prospect. If his 40 time is legit, he's got wheels like VH3.

Agree with what you've posted for the most part on the overall subject.... but there is a difference between a good tackling corner and good tackling safety, which I'm sure you're aware of.

Other than that, I just don't see Purifoy being moved to safety... could be wrong, though.
