I have good news and bad news

[umfire2005]

I used to be on Shadow’s board a lot. I went to my first home game this year. I am commenting on personnel.

Good news:

We have improved on the lines. No question. You’d expect Mario to do that and he has—mostly.

Borregales is an excellent kicker.

Mark Fletcher played well. He’s going to be very good.

LB corps had a rough day but can see growth there. Wes needs to be told where to line up constantly

Bad News:

We lack and have lacked difference makers for 20 years. We have ONE, Reuben Bain. He’s a freshman, he’s played a ton of snaps and is still our best DL. Great teams have 3 or 4.

See above on DL, Harrison hunte is playing well but other than that we could be wake forest.

Our RBs are slow. No other notes. 2 or 3 times today there were holes where excellent fast running backs get 40+ and we got 8-12 yards.

Our WRs are barely above average. Young is the one with the highest ceiling but the separation was pretty minimal. Restrepo is above average but is so athletically deficient that he makes defenses bend but not break

Our DBs aren’t fast enough to be this middling technique wise.

Safeties — woof. Kinchens gambles. When he guesses right he makes the interception. When he doesn’t he’s a pretty slow pretty small safety. JW… decent. That’s it. Average.

None of this attempts to describe the horror show that is Cristobal’s game day management.

I’m currently trying to figure out if all Mario does is go after 4 or 5 star recruits that are good players but lack speed. He needs to recruit players that are fast even if they’re a 3 star. Develop those players.

I really don’t see the speed problem like others do. We aren’t track stars, but it doesn’t stand out to me as a weakness.

Is there a specific position? Obviously Flagg is a liability when he has to go horizontally more than 5 yards.

QB, RB minus Chris Johnson, WR, TEs, CB, LBs all lack speed.

Ehh I don’t see it outside of TE and CB, but understand the frustration. We aren’t world beaters but it’s enough to get the job done in my eyes

You are not wrong. Just was very obvious in person.

It took you 10 games to come to these incredible conclusions?

 

[Angry Ibis]

And you're being kind with some of that good news...

Not in my eyes. The speed isn’t there.

Hey at least we aren’t USC. Heisman all world QB and Barely get 7 wins EWWW THEY SMELL LIKE MY *** AFTER CHIPOLTE

It means nothing to me that you were on shadows board. Decent recap tho - that everyone else can see with their own eyes. Sorry. I’m angry.

Not entirely true. Mauigoa and Flagg lack speed in coverage. Cloyd can run and just about all the young LBs can run. It isn't like we need to go out and get fast LBs. They're already on the team. They're just young and haven't played other than special teams.

TE is also in good shape speed wise. For whatever reason they don’t play Skinner. Arroyo can run, but he's injured, and Riley Williams has + speed at his position.

CB needs to continue recruiting speed. I think we have a couple of young guys with speed.

I definitely would like to see an athletic QB. The guys with speed at WR don't play.

I agree speed needs to be a priority in recruiting certain positions. We need guys that scare the opposition.

This is quality commentary.

What the **** is a shadow board

another board, was pretty goat level with quality posters.. Shadow was kinda like Dmoney version of that board but I dont know what year it was he had a kid or something, we were losing bad I think with Golden and his connects or his view of admin he basically told the board, go live life, might suck but go be with your family lol, get other hobbies, its been great serving ya but dont waste your time because the admin cant or wont invest enough to where cfb is going and the writing is on the wall, then NJcane (could be wrong on the name, its all a blur was another top level poster who was great at recruiting side of things) basically said the same thing.. should of listened to those guys, lol.. Board went on for a couple years with other posters but then faded and moved to more updated website but I didnt make the move so not sure what happened after..
