You start a thread about confirmation and all we get is you opinion and no article or even description of why you came to this conclusion. Give us something to reply to or read or something.
On the for what it's worth note...
If I had read this and knew it to be BS I would have called BF on it. Same can be said if Porter, 'chop, '66, or any of the mods for that matter.
About half of the freshmen coming in have no plans to sit on the bench this fall or 'shirt for that matter. And, they have made that perfectly clear with the players returning from last years squad. Reports have them running the skel drills then meeting with coaches to study more of the playbook if not watch film of those same plays.
On the subject of this thread...
There hasn't been a doubt that Julio would contribute early. It's still to soon to say he'll be in a starting role when we travel to ATL. What was said about Jerrell is also true. He's done very well in pass coverage (not unexpected) and as soon as he gets the running defense scheme down he'll be a major contributor as well. I would almost dare say he's ahead of Jimmy Johns for playing time right now (not in terms of position) simply because he's smarter than Johns. (I like Johns athleticism, but he reminds me A LOT of Shontu Ray. Great athlete, slow on learning schemes)
On a related note to this thread...
I saw a better conditioned team last year than in '06. But, the team we'll see this fall will make last years squad look weak. Just in terms of physical conditioning (stamina) when you are *required* to run 26+ 110's in a day and you do it in the time limits the staff requires it says A HELL OF A LOT! (26 is the routine, if one group doesn't make it in their alloted time the entire group continues running)
