[QUOTE="Jacket in Dairyland, post: 375918, member: 1097"] I will try to explain further. Let me say , as I have mentioned in several posts before, I am commenting from afar. I am in Wisconsin. I can't attend practices and must watch the games on TV. So I suppose I should keep my OPINIONS to myself because I am less informed than others on this board. I don't proclaim to be an expert. But I am a HUGE fan of all things Tech, and this forum is my chance to vent or cheer on the team I love. That being said, let me try to clarify. I feel we sign a number of players, at OL particularly, that never see the field except in blowouts. Perhaps this is getting better, but from the depth charts I see , it appears that very seldom do we have a singular backup at each individual OL position. We seem to have one player who can back up at 2 or more positions. This screams lack of depth to me because we are not truly 2 deep at each position. Same for DL , IIRCC. We have numbers, but not field ready players , at least not at the QUALITY we need. My comments about teaching come from the constant head shaking by CPJ about missed assignments. I will not question the player's desire on this problem ( should I ? ). IMHO, these problems either stem from players being asked to play a position they are not fully ready to play ( see lack of field ready depth above ) ,or not enough instruction/ reps. I also previously mentioned the recruiting angle here, where a player missed an assignment because he is a step slow, or he is not agile enough, or he lacks proper technique ( because he played DL in HS ?) WHISKEY, what do you attribute the " missed assignments" comments to ? [/QUOTE]
