[QUOTE="ilovetheoption, post: 322996, member: 1414"] So, when I started rooting for you guys, what I wanted to see was a rich man's version of Navy. That actually hasn't really ever happened. Navy had sledgehammer b-backs (think Kyle Eckel), physical QB's that knew how to operate the offense, A-Backs that were well rounded jacks of all trades and masters of none, and offensive linemen that were undersized but athletic and nasty. I have been waiting to see just an improved version of that. Instead (and this is not necessarily a bad thing), you've ether had homerun hitters at B-Back or QB, or linemen that weren't as athletic as Navy's guys but much bigger, or some other iteration that was awesome, but not what I had in mind. I think you guys are going to look like Navy+ this year. A b-back that delivers bodyblows all game long. A QB that is more of a distributor than a first option, an OL that is at the 2nd and third level tearing guys up sprinting around with their shoulder pads 2 feet off the ground. I'm super curious to see if the offense that I envisioned for you guys (Navy, but with P5 talent), that I'm finally getting to see, is as effective as I imagined it (and I imagined it to be an absolute load). Again, I'm not saying this iteration is better or worse than other iterations, but it's the one I envisioned when Johnson was hired, and I'm probably more geeked for this year than any since the first.
