Man, these guys look ready to go. Barring major injuries, I think our defense is going to dominate again this year. Our depth at linebacker is concerning, but Venerables seems to be happy with them and our secondary is loaded with veterans. I can't wait for first game!

Williams is a big fella. I don't see too many issues with our defensive line happening this season barring any injuries. The one thing about the coaches is that they've always been able to recruit big guys who can move with speed and explosive burst. This creates chaos on the line of scrimmage and allows for our line backers to perform surgery in the backfield with the defensive ends. It creates a condition of picking your own poison. If you drop back to pass the odds are you will be sacked by one of the defensive ends. If you pass from the pocket you're liable to be sacked by a defensive tackle. If you choose to run the ball then expect to be met at the line of scrimmage by a whole host of fine Clemson Gentlemen who will be more than happy to introduce you to the turf. SPOT THE DANG BALL!
Our country won't go on forever, if we stay soft as we are now. There won't be any America because some foreign soldiery will invade us and take our women and breed a hardier race.
