no doubt. Now, Where the hell you been bro? I've had to hold down the fort by myself for quite a while now.

Work... we've only got three people to run two clinics, a full-time contract, and the business operations. I don't count our two assistants since they can't run anything without supervision; I'm hoping to be around more though. How ya been?

gettin along pretty good. Let's see, while you were away, I put in a 24 ft. above ground pool, grew a beard, my boy broke his arm Saturday (ulna and radius), they made me a mod, and I'm about to build a deck around the pool. Not much really. I've had to go to SPS and espn and tigernet to chat up Clemson football. :L Hope you're around to post a little bit now. I can't get a Clemson peep over here for love nor money. They are dug in like ticks at those other sites and won't leave.

Those old bastards... they're not going anywhere unfortunately (or maybe that's not such a bad thing). Hope your son's alright, he'll be casted for 4-6 weeks if it's non-surgical, maybe 6-8 if they have to fix it. I'm excited to see what the youth can do in the defensive backfield; Lord knows anybody is better than the crap we had back there last year. That and how the LB rotation works out, Jones and Shuey are going to make it hard for Steward and Anthony to outright claim the Mike and SAM spots.

The like buttons are gay; if we're doing this, we should have rep.

Yea, I like Shuey, just don't know if he's quick enough in coverage. I want to see Blanks playing full time where he's suppose to be. I think that kid has potential to be another great ball hawkin' safety. Lord knows we could use another Terry Kinard or Brian Dawkins back there. I can't wait to see the entire defense really. We've got some guys that push for playing time now like Shaq Lawson. I think the offense will be outstanding again. Would like to see Hopper and some of those other WR's step up. Who will it be?

A few people are asking for rep back. The hesitation is all the butthurt from being negged and the circle jerks of rep, like the steelers, flyers, and other boards where it made it kind of pointless. I like rep and second the motion when it's brought up.

On offense, my votes go to Sammy and a combination of Peake and Bryant. Either way, somebody needs to step up and fill Jaron Brown's shoes; that dude was money on third downs. If a combination of Peake/Bryant/Watkins/Hopper can match last years production, I'll be thrilled. Shoot, I'll actually be happier if it's a production by committee type deal.

On defense, I think Shuey is definitely fast enough to cover a TE and most RBs which the mike is usually tasked with. His production was unbelievable and he seemed to step up when we most needed it. I just hope whatever the LB rotation ends up being that they're productive and if they're not, we've got the depth to send the next guy in. Blanks is back to safety full time, and the DL might be a strength if Vic Beasley steps up along with Lawson, Ebo, and a few others.
