wazoheat 1 FRIENDSHIP ENDED WITH SUMLIN, NOW JIMBO IS MY BEST FRIEND
Rainbow_Beefcake 9 I guess we'll find out if Jimbo's all he's cooked up to be. After much internal conflict, I'm betting that he is. That's the reason for no FSU on this list, and for ATM being so high.

Grimbo_Reaper 12 Okay. So at first, I was tempted to just write “JIMBO” 700 times as a reason, but if there’s anything I know in obscene abundance, it’s A&M football. So this is going to be long and will be justifying my delusions, so buckle up. Also, this websites format doesn’t allow me to do page breaks, so I’ll be putting like ten ellipses to indicate a new paragraph. ………………………… OFFENSE: Yes, we lose Kirk, Ratley, and Keith Ford. However, what we return is a talented and intelligent QB (dude had Ivy league offers) who is going to be coached by multiple coaches known for developing QB talent to the highest degree. He’ll be playing behind an offensive line that returns every single player and is going to be coached for a third consecutive year by arguably the greatest OL coach in the nation. Starkel will also be handing it off to some very talented RBs and passing to 7/9 of the WRs from this past season. There is a strong recipe for moderate to great success there. ………………………… DEFENSE: In 2016 we lost our #1 (the number one pick overall in the NFL Draft) and #2 pass-rusher (third-rounder) who combined for 13 sacks. In 2017, our starting DEs combined for 16 sacks (and our team sack total increased!). This is probably one of the reasons that the DE coach is being retained. On top of that, we hired the former Green bay DFA to coach the DTs. So in spite of the fact that we lose one starting DE and DT, I have high confidence in our front line not losing a step. Beyond that, we have every single LB returning, a unit that showed a strong step forward from 2016 and is led by Tyrel Dodson (5.5 sacks, 3 int., 105 tackles, 11 TFLs, 8 PBUs, and 4 QB hurries). Our secondary is losing Armani Watts, but they return every other starter, as well as Donovan Wilson (starting safety) and Nick Harvey (CB1) who were out all season due to injury. Dono went down in the UCLA game and his departure was felt immediately as that was when Rosen began to light it up in the second half.
