Recapping Media Days and Previewing UCLA Defense

In this edition of the BROCast, Dave and Tracy recap what we learned at Media Days and then preview the UCLA defense for fall camp. I attended Media Days and gave a brief synopsis of the format and what we learned from Bob Chesney and the players. We also talked about Media Day in general and how it's evolved from an availability to something like an event that's covered like a game. We then continued our preview of the UCLA football team for fall camp, this time breaking down the defense. We talked about the defensive line, where UCLA is pretty thin and uncertain at defensive tackle, but more robust on the edge, at both the bigger defensive end role and at the outside linebacker/JACK position. Moving backward, we talked about the linebacker group also being a little thin and uncertain, though we feel better about it now that Sammy Omosigho looks like a player. Still, if there's an issue on defense, we'd bet it'll be defending the run up the middle between the uncertainty at defensive tackle and at linebacker. Finally, we talked about the secondary, where UCLA has good, proven starters at several spots, but again a bit of uncertainty because of Scooter Jackson's status. If Jackson is available to play this year, we'd put this secondary up there among the upper echelon of the Big Ten. As it stands, though, we still think it's a good group.
