[QUOTE="dressedcheeseside, post: 221653, member: 77"] My point is that it would be easy to fill up with acceptable numbers if you dropped your sights in talent. It's a double edged sword and we're feeling the edge that cuts on the side of low numbers rather than low talent. Then again, there's a good argument for talent not being quite there, either, so I'm not fighting you on this. As for last year, the OL suffered for a multitude of reasons. The biggest was the loss of Shaq which hurt us exponentially. His talent loss at the key OL spot, RG, was a huge hit, but I'm not sure it was as big as the loss in leadership. His mates in '14 were hanging by a thread and Shaq was most likely the only thing holding them together. He got some of those guys to perform over their pay grade. Freddie was dealing with his dad's illness and I think that took a toll on his play. Throw in the fact that our Bbacks were not nearly as good and that defenses could send more than we could block because they didn't respect the pass and you see what happens. Heck, they didn't respect the dive or the end runs, either. [/QUOTE]
