to be very very good as the year unfolds. We can not afford to lose Lawson because he is a difference maker but our defense is talented and plays physical. I thought going in JJ would be a strength and he may still be but it will take a few more games to see if it was just a case of being to hyped up for the first game or something more. However with a very good defense I think the way the coaches manage a game will change and we may just need JJ to be average. I also thought Barber looked a lot like Mason in how quick he made decisions in the run game. Mason almost never took a negative play because he could see so quickly what was there and always seemed to get what he could. Barber looked just as decisive to me.
