The Blue Board

Right on pace for the off season naty. I was worried you guys werent going to show up

Think what you want Gator, but FSU's defense is silly right now

I haven't been this excited for a defense at FSU ever in my life, and a new coach came at just the right time

Joyner moving to corner has me tickled pink and was a move that was long overdue, or should I say never should have happened in the first place but back then we had no safeties really

Im curious but not worried about DE, they are younger than last year but far more talented and the depth is much deeper

If somebody tells me that Werner and Carradine are more talented than Edwards and Casher they are fools, its that simple... I will say they probably don't equal the sack total as Werner and Carradine but we should get more sacks as an entire defensive unit

Im willing to say this is the most talented defense FSU has ever had

When you have Matthew Thomas type talent coming off the bench, shit is real

I love it for sure, and at the end of the day it might be the strongest unit but LB and DT will see major upgrades in talent and depth as well imo

Jernigan McAllister and Goldman are a better top 3 than Jernigan, McCloud and Dawkins

and that should help a lot too in terms of overall improvement

But aside from everything I can be excited about, Karlos finally starting is #1 on my plate

He is gonna end up being my favorite Nole ever, I can feel it

Nope, you are just a moron who doesn't know dick about FSU

FSU has had some great defenses sure, but nothing like what they have now

Mainly cause most of the time we haven't even before seen a Miami this down and an overall open market in south florida

You will see, Im damn near 30 years old... lived through most of the Dynasty and know what talent looks like

FSU has never had a defense this talented, the second unit would still be the best defense in the ACC much like the old days

But these days we see an ACC that is much better and deeper with good teams

Pretty funny you talking about age though with an anime avatar

Is this what we have to look forward to until after the last week in November.....again?

Florida didn't dominate our defense though, they only passed for like 114 yards

Like all of FSU's downfalls last year, they were all offensively inflicted wounds

UF didn't start running down our face until well into the 4th quarter, and when our best player was lost for the game

They attacked his side and the rest is history

Rivalry games are tricky, and especially when you have a real rival with a pulse.... unlike Bama who could sit their starters and still win

Nova, do you remember the defense when fsu won the national title? that "D" was very loaded. Andrews had a 1st team and 2nd team and the 2nd team defense was just as good.

FSU is gonna have to force some turnovers, this yr. I'm guessing Pruitt will be a more aggressive playcaller than Stoops.

At least early on, with a new starter at qb.

No doubt, that is the only weakness of last year

And it was a strength for you guys and the clear difference between us as teams, look no further than our game as proof

Stoops did what he was brought in to do, now its Pruitt's turn to take us to the next phase and that is a defense that attacks you like Mickey's did back in the day at FSU

Im confident turnovers should come along with this change in philosophy

Its not like Karlos and company can't get picks and force fumbles, they just need to be coached to do so imo

Yeah that defense was damn good, but nowhere near as talented as this one

The 93' defense was the best, and right now the only thing separating the two is the fact this one hasn't hit the field yet

Brooks would have likely been the best player overall on either one, but the talent is deeper on this group

Outside of Brooks nobody else really made a name for themselves off that 93' defense

I imagine this Nole defense will be different when their NFL time comes years later
