[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 750229, member: 2299"] People are looking too much into the terminology rather addressing the point behind it. Whatever you want to call it, whether it's scrimmage season, throwaway season, rebuilding season, transition season, foundation season etc etc etc it all just means the same thing. Look at the OL for example. The fact is the OL that we need for this offense differs greatly than the one we wanted for the previous offense. There was always a high chance that the OL that was inherited wasn't going to be able to transition that smoothly and that it wouldn't be until there were guys who were recruited for this offense and developed in it for a couple of years before we would see a "good" OL. There is a reason the vast majority of OLmen redshirt and why coaches usually want upperclassmen playing with the rare exception. Because you need a certain level of muscle memory to get the level of consistency that the OL needs. Unfortunately there is no shortcut to building 3 or 4 years worth of reps and experience. That's going to take, well, 3 or 4 years. And that's one position group. On top of that, we didn't have a QB on roster with a skillset that we need for this offense, had to completely establish the TE position here, and our most proven WR was a guy who had caught 12 total passes. On the other side there were very valid concerns about whether the talent level of the front 7 on defense was the level we need to have success here and whether they could be developed enough or if the solution was going to be recruiting + developing. If the latter is what was needed then yeah, that will take multiple years to happen as well. But we're at the start of year two and on offense we are basically cutting down on TOs and penalties away from having a good offense. That's not a bad place to be in considering where we were, and both of those issues are symptoms of a team lacking experience which we certainly do. [/QUOTE]
