Originally posted by IUP FLA 12 View PostOn the football hand, how do you guys like the defense? Want to hear your thoughts.
DL: Their first four guys are monsters. They will wreck havoc. Big, strong and experienced. The next couple (ones many haven't heard of yet) are also pretty good. Remember the name Tyrone Fowler Jr. This position went from a major concern back in early Spring to perhaps the strongest.
LB: Malachi Newell (Youngstown State) and Connor Kelly (Edinboro) should provide immediate impacts. Drew DiNunzio-Biss (a 2019 redshirt) is a hammer. Darrius Lloyd is a player. We'll see how the depth is at LB -- that concerns me a little.
DB: Nazir Streater is an All-American. Bryce Gibson (Youngstown State) is a stud. They have several other DBs back who have played in the past but a couple will move in to much larger roles. Interested to get a look at Akshay Thaper (Upper Iowa). Harrison Dreher is a tremendous athlete in the secondary. Devin Carney (Thaddeus Stevens) is a guy who will probably play both ways at times this season (WR/DB).
I guess we won't know until the lights come on, but it should certainly be an above-average group. They aren't going to have to pitch shutouts to win games. The offense is going to score plenty.
On paper, Tort plugged some holes really nicely.

Big Indians, from looking at the roster do not forget about safety number 8 Jaheim Howard. Watched his film this morning from Erie Prep it was very impressive. Howard flies around the field and covers great from his HS film. Should be interesting to see what the defense of coaching staff does with Howard.

That said ... never real big on playing true freshmen. Very few are ready.
