If Rosie can come back and play Safety or CB that would add a lot of depth to the secondary. He told me wants to, hopefully his injuries have healed sufficiently for him to play.

That would be fantastic. Rosie is an exceptional athlete. I'd love to see him back on the team.

I think that some of the questions for next year is who will be the defensive front, Beck, Dierig, Fennell, Johnson, Sullivan... and who will fill in at the DB positions, Buten,Gold, Siedel, Duanes(sp)...? Not to mention the two O linemen positions that need to be filled by some of the above mentioned or Hahn, Meyers or Moyer?

I feel that the LB positions will be solid with Roller, Alford, Hogue, Bankemper, Compton??? There are a lot of interchangeable parts and I think Spring ball will be interesting this year!!!

 

Might see Welz or Beck on the interior O line also. And don't forget Welz played some D line this year. Could Grubbs, Combs or Schlosser do a Dempsey and play some D line in addition to their O line responsibilities? I can't wait to see spring ball and see who steps up to take the open positions. Should be another intense spring.

If needed I know Schlosser, Combs and Grubbs can, like you said it will be an intense spring!!!

Colin Rosenhagen.

Thanks LN. Lil bro I am assuming. If he plays 1/2 as hard as Big Rosie Bird fans will be in for a treat.

Cousin. Dave's boy. Very nice athlete.

Rosie worked out with the team yesterday. So did the Bruns brothers.

Hunter Schlosser would be a GREAT noseman! Gotta get him healthy and ready! Tyler Combs did an OUTSTANDING job this year stepping up at center...another year in the weight room and he will be a beast! The Grubb-man could be unstoppable...but see him as a "short-yardage" specialist. Not the speediest plus MUCH needed on the O-side. D1 in Grubby's future for sure...IF he keeps working!! He improved light years from beginning of the season to the end! Hope he spends the summer at FB camps not playing hoops! Don't forget Welz...big #86 logged alot of time on the D-line last year. Officer Dill will have PLENTY of parts to rotate and keep fresh next year!

Won't the Hoosier kid be a senior next year? Sorry I don't know his name.

Justin Johnson I believe is his name and he will be a senior next year. Very, very strong kid. With a year under his belt in the off season conditioning program he should be an excellent defensive lineman next year.

What's the possibilities of some of the hoopsters joining the football squad next year. Do ya think Watson, Grote, Dill and the like could have an impact? Some big bodies never hurt !

The possibility or any of them playing is very low. However if they did, there are several that could make an impact.
