WHICH CARDS ARE BEST AT THEIR POSITION? --- THE OPINIONS OF SOME OF THE BEST CARDS

?

At U of L Football Media Day, Cardinal Dominance had a chance to speak with 9 of the players Coach Strong had available to speak to the media --- and they are some of our best players.? These nine guys answered many of our questions about other players that they face off against every day.? Here are the thoughts about the best players by the Cards? best players and other key points.

?

MARIO BENAVIDES, CENTER

?

ALEX KUPPER, LEFT OFFENSIVE TACKLE

?

DANIEL BROWN, SAM LINEBACKER

?

HAKEEM SMITH, SAFETY

?

BRANDON DUNN, DEFENSIVE TACKLE

?

JAMON BROWN, RIGHT OFFENSIVE TACKLE

?

DEVANTE PARKER, WIDE RECEIVER

• DeVante felt that CB T. Floyd was the ?toughest? CB.

?

DOM BROWN, RUNNING BACK

?

?

JAKE SMITH, OFFENSIVE RIGHT GUARD

• Regarding the ?IT Factor,? Jake felt that all the starting OL was showing flashes of having that ability but ?the one everyone really looks up to is Mario?? Mario has such great persona and you want to mold yourself after him.? Kupper is the same way.? He?s got ?IT.??? He?s smart --- really smart.? He is a technician.??
• While commenting on his running mate, Jamon Brown,?at anchoring?the Cards' right side,?Smith disclosed ?Jamon?s good at everything.? This year the only thing different is he knows what is going on.? He?s a smart guy and a physical specimen?. He has coachability and a great work ethic.?
• Regarding the entire line, Jake said ?We?re just all trying to make each other better?. We are all going through this together and it?s a process we are learning together which adds to the cohesiveness of the unit.?
• Regarding whom the toughest interior guy on the line to block, Jake said if he had to give it to one guy, ?I?d have to say DT Roy Philon.? He?s real fast, he?s real quick, he?s smart, he?s savvy, and he?s a little older.? He?s tough and hard to block --- but so are all of them as well as the crop of new guys --- they are all pretty good.?

?

One of the keys to success this year for the young Cards is how well the O Line and the D Line do in the trenches.? If we can start our games by running the ball and consuming the clock, the opponent?s D will have to fill up the box with more players --- then Teddy has a better opportunity to hit one of our fabulous receivers.? Also, by consuming the clock, our D is going to be better rested and put much more pressure on the opponent?s Offence.? Like last year, the Offensive Line is the group with the most pressure on them to perform.? Everyone agrees that they are miles ahead of last year at this time --- but we still have 3 young sophomores that look like they will start on the OL and our first opponent?s strength is the Defensive Line --- but it appears their Cardinal teammates feel they can meet that challenge.
