I am sure more details will be forthcoming later.http://blogs.tampabay.com/usf/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garrison most likely would have seen major playing time, while Peguese and Peoples most likely would see the field on special teams. This is not good.

In other words, we know going in there will be concerns at certain positions, and our coaches can account for these concerns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peoples is not a BCS talent, left NC ST to find the competition here just as tough, hes no real loss. Jenkins would have been a Senior, and was a solid special teamer, but again no really big deal. Smiley was the primary back-up to Selvie, but with Buie back for another year, Bedford and Marshall coming in bigger and stronger than him, and Chris Robinson (imo) poised to be a great edge rusher, its not too big of dissapointment. Peguese was a high school lb trying to make the transition to dt, but by all accounts a very hard worker and promising player, with the lack of experience at dt, he probably would have had the biggest impact....

With Marshall and Bedford, along with Selvie, Buie, McClain, and Harris coming back, and McCaskill coming along, the DL should be OK. Peoples was a Maryland transfer.

A kid like Peoples may have thought he was going to come in and be the man and was surprised at how good the kids already here were. Julian Riley found that out as will Trent Pupello. All these kids have to do what is best for them, and sometimes it may be better elsewhere (Chad Simpson). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
