Well, we certainly don't need hostages on the roster. This current situation with transfers is just a reflection on our society as a whole. Patience is not a current virtue of our "me first" culture. I barely saw the field at TECH my first two seasons. It never even occured to me to transfer...
Orwin got better as he went along. If compared to our current group, he would come out fine. However, when compared to his contemporaries, he paled. We gotta get better in this phase next year.
MJ will improve our running offense by being a good runner himself. He will get tough yards and be productive on the inside in a way that JT never really did. JT made us better in the passing game. That was his biggest contribution. JT was accurate as a passer and made decent decisions most of...
FWIW, I think DM is a better runner too, different style runner, but better none the less. The blocking part is certainly a bigger margin in my mind and beyond any rational debate.
Fair enough and you understood me well. I will never quit on a kid who is working, ever. If Philpott decided to stay and work even harder to reach his goals, I would be in full support.
I have been to one Army-Navy game in my life. It was in Philly's Vet stadium back in the late 90's. It was the single best game day experience of my life. The tailgating is the best you will ever see. Part of what makes it so good is that the fans antagonize each other but do it in a very good...
I don't know what to think about LSU to be honest. I watched them get physically manhandled by Wisconsin. It wasn't just a bad game. They got pushed around. It wasn't as close as the score by any stretch.
We have stuck with many players over the years with whom we would have been way better off had they moved on. I feel confident that the practice continues. For many kids today, getting passed on the depth chart is all it takes to decide to move on. You can't blame a coach for that. All you have...
I love Lance for his physicality, tackling ability, and nose for the football, but let's not pretend here either, length and top end speed is a limiting issue. Some of the guys he is covering are taller and faster. That is a lot to make up for.
As a program, we are better off if the guys who are getting passed up move on, so we can recruit more kids and increase our chances of hitting on good players. SEC schools force kids out. We stand by our kids. But if it happens it happens. Let's sign more and find some diamonds.
Look, I haven't seen the kid play a snap. Let me state that first before I go on. However, my gut says this is nothing about injuries or talent. It is purely a matter of buying in to what we do in our system and committing to it. Anyone who watched his tape could see he had abilities beyond some...
Where I have a high level of confidence:
The OL has proven themselves capable this season and they are young. If they work as hard this off season as last, it should be a good year up front.
MJ and DM both running on the inside will be very hard to stop. When you have a physical QB who can run...
