[QUOTE="dressedcheeseside, post: 226530, member: 77"] CPJ has been asked this over and over and he always says the scout team O's job is to show scheme looks, not replicate game speed and opponent talent levels. I'm sure having better athletes on your scout team helps but that's part of the challenge at GT. We typically do not sign college ready players. Some are, but most have to develop physically a good deal. This problem, like our poor offensive production last year, is multi-factorial. We like to try and find one big issue that we can blame and be done with it. It's not that easy. There's a bunch of problems that all contribute to the lack of production. Some can be attributed to staff, but some are hurdles that are built in to the difficulties of recruiting at a school like GT. There's also the fact that offense is much easier to scheme around talent deficiencies than defense. If you don't have talent on D, you're pretty much screwed. I also think too many of us overlook the fact that our guys have a huge academic commitment that takes away time and energy from football development. At most other schools, it's football 90% of time/energy - school 10%. At GT it's at least 50/50. That has a huge impact on performance. [/QUOTE]
