1/2/2006 1:00:41 PM

There is not a chance in hell he stays. Give it up.

1/2/2006 1:01:24 PM

he told the team after the bowl game that he's gone

1/2/2006 1:11:12 PM

well our defense has to be good next year. were losing our pass rush. we might be in trouble.

If we can get Brooks back, we'll have a solid DE on at least one side of the line. Brooks was a madman in the little time he played.

1/2/2006 1:22:16 PM

^What side did brooks play on, and what side does Willie Young play on? I mean if they're both as good as they say they are, then there wont be as much of a drop off. If brooks plays on the right, we lose some pass rushing ability overthere, but gain some run stopping ability. I dont know much about Young, but hopefully he can be at least half of what Mario was on the left.


but I dont know where they play, so who knows


and now ESPN is saying Mario WILL enter the draft. He said in the interview after the game the other day that he would announce on friday.

1/2/2006 2:55:50 PM

for us

for him

Devin Hester (Miami) and Vernon Davis (Maryland) are going pro as well. Least we aren't the only ones. Everyone knew he was gone. He will be a top 10 pick. Would you come back and play on another shitty college team?

Brooks is strongside


Willie Young actually probably won't start. From what I understand he's still quite thin and inexperienced (he gets pushed off the ball during the run). I think it'll be Littleton Wright at Weakside and Brooks at Strong (assuming Brooks makes it... which I hear is about 70/30 he will as of now).

Willie Young probably backing up Brooks on passing situations and... umm... Matt Kushner...maybe backing up Wright?(Unless we move a tackle such as Pressley over). Quentin Brown possibly? (Doubtful since he's a former OLineman) I have no freakin clue. We're thin and young at DE. I think Young actually has been seeing time at Weakside, but my guess is since he's the tallest we have off the bench, we'll put him as a backup strong side DE. Dunno.

Dammit, would love to have landed Ricky Sapp . He would start from day 1 across from Brooks. We really really really need Brooks to return next year. Sapp is a dumbass becuase he could have shined with our young talent on D-Line (Pressley, Brooks, Michael-Cash, Young, Bedics, Tank, Brown)... instead he'll get triple teamed over at Klempsun and not be nearly as productive. Idiot
