[QUOTE="Pointer, post: 620513, member: 4719"] There's no denying that bay bay is a once in a generation wr, and we are fortunate to have had Calvin as well. Dwyer was great as well. What people don't realize is that the trenches are everything and option offense has a hard time if the OL is not quick enough. They were able to make it work in 08 with a line recruited to a totally different system. This is where I don't think it's fair to just say well these players don't for the player system. Neither did the players in 08 on paper at least, but CPJ made it work. Besides coach p is supposed to run an offense that fits the current talent, which further refutes the use of the term rebuild. Skill players are nice, but if the line doesn't exist, it doesn't matter. That's what we are unfortunately struggling with right now on both sides. I think this has more to do with apr changes that made it more difficult with academic schools, like us to recruit big uglies, which it's especially hard to find one on the d line that can cut it at this school academically. That paired with what I posted before which shows tech reducing our recruiting budget by more than 20% since 2012-2013 season while most other schools increased by at least 50% and elite schools increased the budget even more than that.
