2004 Defensive roster???

SLB- Donterrious Thomas(2a), Hodge/Allen
MLB- Rod Davis(2b), Ruff
WLB-Cie Grant, Derrick Rogers

2 rookies and a 2nd year as the starting LBs next year? That\'s gonna be a long shot. I doubt even Haslet has the \'nads to do that.

You missed the 1st part I wrote...
\"I know rookies wonÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã¢Â„Â¢t start right away, but I could see this line-up dominating in the VERY near future. \"
By new future I mean midway to end of season.
Although I think Hall could start if he had a full camp (no holdouts), Maybe Davis too.

On the contrary, I did read that and I stand by what I said. As bad as the LBs were last year, I just don\'t see these rookies coming in and starting even after midseason if we are still in the playoff hunt. Now, that\'s all based on my knowledge of how rookies tend to play their first year. There MUST be an expereinced LB on the field to coordinate the defense.

But if we\'re out of the playoff race, then I\'m all for getting the youngsters as much experience as we can. However, you can temper my comments with my admission that I don\'t watch a lot of college football. I keep up with LSU, Michigan and the local teams (monroe area), but as far as the rest of the nation goes, I just don\'t pay that much attention. Therefore, I don\'t know that much about the incoming players as individuals. But I do know what position most rookies tend to play their first year... bench warming.
