For me the big concerns are SS and NB. Need Head or Williamson to step up at SS and be the big bad wolf roaming the middle of the field. Williamson was a true freshman playing NB last season, and though he did flash some, he was also picked on A LOT. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the true frosh got involved early, and am excited to see the trajectory of our secondary in general over the next couple years. It's overall REALLY young.
I think everything is relative. Antoine seems to be the best of a relatively mediocre/unproven lot at this point. Maybe FS is a better fit for him but he seemed to be caught wrong-footed way too many times during last season.
How long have we been waiting for Stuart Head? OF's post shows a pretty gaudy offer list for him.
That said, I trust Akina's evaluations implicitly. If someone is disappointing, it just means there's no one better behind him.
