Yemen Sanders and Jordan Pulu come on down. I just did the Haka naked while spitting Copenhagen on Biggie Smalls' picture and sacrificing a virgin in Old Faithful.
Those guys would really fit well in a defense that has potential to be loaded.
The interior of our line was our weakness. Let's look at it now.
Patrick Mertens is back. He is a Wyoming freshman of the year, Phil Steele freshman All-American, and a valuable member of the trench crew. Mike Purcell has proved his worth on the interior. Like my girlfriend just said moments ago, "He does a great job, he just needs more guys around him." He'll get bigger and he's already a force. Uso Olive is a key signing for this program. He's a "rank bull" on the interior with disproportionate speed to exploit. The other spot in the two deep falls to the bodies we have in the system and available scholarships. We're going to be just fine on the interior. Now add some athletic defensive ends in Willis, Puletasi, and Yarborough and Wyoming has a line that will be dominant when they are veterans and extremely dangerous as youngsters.
At linebacker we get Shober and Nzeocha back. Pulu would be a great fit at linebacker. With Jones and Muhammad we've got a lot of guys with athleticism, the ability to cover, and some size to stop the run. I feel great about the linebacker spot.
At db we're already strong and young with Huff and Burns. We've got a couple of lockdown corners that can catch. With the addition of Jashawn Jordan Wyoming now has nickle depth that can dominate in man to man and produce a lot of interceptions.
Safety is the spot where the defense probably needs the most help right now. There's a chance that a freshman could sign and win the starting job at safety. I love Yemen Sanders and think he would be a perfect fit on a defense that will not lose many games in the next few seasons.
Throw in a punter that can smoke the ball in Tim Goddamn and Wyoming's defense has potential to be truly dominant.
I'm amped. With Boise losing almost their entire two deep and us hosting SDSU, Boise, AFA, and CSU, we are going to have to be considered as the dark horse for a league title.
