[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 196238, member: 265"] "You will do whatever it takes to prove he doesn't belong there"; Coach is paying, like, zero attention to opinions stated here. Especially your and mine. A few points: That a lot of people like Marshall at BB doesn't mean they're right. I don't think they are, but it isn't up to me. Coach will make that decision. Maybe the problem this year was the OL; a lot of people think so and they didn't tear up the pea patch, especially on pass blocking. I don't think they're the root of our problems, however. It was more a dearth of experienced and talented skill people. And now a little data analysis: [FONT=Courier New] Min. 1st Qu. Median Mean 3rd Qu.
