Questions for SPS on next year defense

[Bneal]

Who is the best chance for CBs? Safeties and LBs.

These areas were super average this year. Hoping the young kids I may or may not know about are the keys to improving here. Just curious what your thoughts are. Sure, the egg bowl was incredible, but talking about these positions throughout the year. LBs have to get better and faster.

LB - Dez Harris and Leo in the middle. Gerri Green one side and a combo of JT Gray/Traver Jung on the other side.

Safety - McLarin has a starting spot. Does Brandon Bryant get it together? Can we land CJ Avery and he step right in? Smitherman? Stamps?

CB - Graham, Durr, Cleveland. Does Jamal Peters stay at corner? Giles gets his med redshirt year and returns?

Gotta see what scheme we are running. If we are sticking with the 3-4:

Star: Gray/Jung
ILB: Leo Lewis
ILB: Dez Harris
Viper: Montez Sweat

CB: Peters
CB: Cleveland
S: Bryant
S: McLaurin

Hopefully we can Peters position figured out....

I like him as a big CB...but his build fits more of the "Star" position.....you got to figure Cam Danztler and some of the other Fr. contribute at CB.....

I think the 3-4 is here for a while...that seems to be the preferred D against these spread teams, however more teams seem to have a bigger impact with their "Viper" position than we did...

I wouldnt be surprised to hear that Brandon Bryant gives up football.... he avoided contact all season and left the egg bowl early with a concussion...Avery could step in his spot almost immediately...
