I guess Kiffin keeps such a tight ship that no one knows why Robison got suspended (Again). I’ve been one of this kids biggest defenders but this is pretty pathetic. Imagine you’re one of the young guys having a great spring but all anyone wants to talk about is Robison. Meanwhile, I’ve listened to interviews with Tronti and he seems like he has a really good head on his shoulders. I want him to show us why he was Mr. Florida.Posted On: Apr 1st 2019, 3:30 PM #385771
Too many red flags for my liking, could care less how many stars he may have had coming out of HS. Sometimes stars don't translate on (and off) the field for whatever reason. Until Robison can get his act together – if he even is capable of doing so – I for one am pulling for Tronti to emerge in the Fall (sounds like Littlejohn is a year away).
I do feel Kiffin is enamored by Robison's talent, but that leash is getting shorter.

I agree that a simpler defensive scheme when you have a roster-full of really good athletes is the better route than trying to complicate and react and overthink what the guys are doing. Spencer looked like he got a whole lot out of a less talented group in Charlotte, so I am counting on a comeback from that side of the ball.

Emmons looks good, both on the field and physically. Bruising back with some agility and speed. Perfect fit for this offense, especially if the interior paves the way. Not saying he'll be a 1,500-yard back, but the potential is there and I don't see any reason to think it won't be him getting major reps in that RB rotation. Who the 1B will be to his 1A, that'll be interesting. James Charles has looked good with the ones (shameless plug) but can he fight off all the incoming freshmen? But Emmons looks better than I thought he would've with the rust and all.owlsdad said
Moving on from talking about Robison (who is not out there), has anybody actually watched the team? Talking about stars/potential, I would think Emmons was a hotter commodity than Robison coming out of high school since he was a 4-star who actually saw the field for Ala-freakin-bama as a true FR. I saw the brief mention of him punching a TD in during the scrimmage, but I am hopeful (as a fellow NC guy is way older but played in the same high school conference as BJ) that he finds a way to fulfill some of his tremendous potential as an Owl.

It'll take some time with the defense. I will say I think Kiki Leroy, the linebacker in Azeez's old spot, is going to be a fan favorite. Big hitter with a great attitude and awesome vision on defense.

Our D has always played better when ya let 'em PLAY! I want our DC to recruit, teach, motivate, game plan AND make in game adjustments. Not install an NFL complicated D just to prove he smart HE is!

Ok, this D simple vs "complicated'' thing is just way overblown.
The 4-2-5 scheme's we ran in 2017 and 2018 were not that that crazy different from each other.
It's more about how the coaches teach it than how complicated it is.
They are not that hard to learn and the more multiple you can be the higher ceiling your D has.
2017 we were very basic, but our D caused sacks and turnover more so because we were up a lot every game we also did not open OU and UCF in 2017.
