[QUOTE="InsideLB, post: 643333, member: 857"] As Boomer and several others have said it's all about the trenches. How teams project in the trenches (experience, depth, playmakers) is how teams are projected to finish. Even before losing Minihan, Lee, Cooper, Morgan, and Brandon Adams we projected very poorly in the trenches on both sides of the ball. We just don't have the horses. A lot of folks are bitching about our OC but how the hell can you tell when your already highly suspect OL is then devastated with injuries? Truthfully, I am actually surprised we've made the offensive progress we've made. It's pretty much smoke and mirrors right now. Ibeeballin posted some good offensive analysis of what we have been trying to do and it makes sense. We are trying to make up for our deficiencies. On defense we have had--for years now--precious few DL who consistently win 1-on-1 battles. So you are going to get torched on 3rd down. You can't leave a decent QB and set of receivers with that much time and expect otherwise. We have some ingredients on the DL but they just need a lot more experience and development, and overall we are lacking depth. Recruiting here is key and DL recruiting so far for me is one area of our current recruiting class that still needs a lot of work. We just need more war daddies to develop physically, develop into playmakers, and we need depth so we can rotate, stay fresh, and plug in when the injury bug bites. I think our kids are working their tails off but they are just young and there are not enough of them. On top of that they are having to learn new schemes on both sides of the ball, and in many cases were not recruited for those schemes (i.e. don't have the traditional physical attributes). That's the reality. [/QUOTE]
