But doesn't it also mean that the Freak hasn't really emerged as the dominant force his high school hype predicted. Nothing against him.

Downs was a disruptive force his freshman year before he became serially injured. If he is healthy again, I don't find the depth chart to be that surprising.



This.

Downs used to get such a good jump on the snap that he was incorrectly called for offsides several times.

What has he done that meets the hype so far? Him not starting there is a reason behind it.

Glenn Dorsey didn't start until his junior year.

There are talented guys ahead of him. It happens.

Made the Freshman All-America Squad. Has pretty good TFL and sack numbers when compared to his playing time. Dude is the real deal (not Evander Holyfield).

Just because he was a 5 star you expected him to just frick the SEC up as a true freshman?

he obviously hasn't developed, he's probably an attrition candidate for next year... extremely disappointing, hopefully Alleva will hold someone accountable

The fact that we can keep guys like Freak Johnson off the field shows how good we are as a Program and as a team

Josh Downs surprise starter at DT over Freak and Ego.


Not a surprise to me. JD got a lot of love and PT in the Spring Game and did fairly well. He looked as big as an aircraft carrier and he managed to chase Mett around a lot. Also Miles loves his seniors... Dont worry, Freak and Ego will get plenty of action.

Make no mistake Miles is using more pyschology this year. He's knows he has to win the NC this year!!! From putting number #2 on the rings too starting unexpected players.
