That looks like a 7 win team on paper. No explosion on perimeter. Same lack of pass rush on edge. No space eater at DT. Secondary OOOOOOOF. LB and OL look to be upgraded that's it.
I agree. But if that's a 7 win team, we're ****ed in 2024.
That offense loses a WR, LT, C, RG and probably QB.
The secondary loses Couch, Roberts and Brown, and the D-line loses 2/4 of the DT they have listed.
We'll also probably lose Mesidor to draft. Maybe Kam too. Which will suck because we have exactly one backup safety listed as it is. We already have to hope there aren't any targeting calls.
Let's be real here. Would J-Will leaving early really surprise anyone? Whether or not Williams is making a mistake is irrelevant. He's exactly the type of player we've watched leave early year after year.
Then there's the schedule. We play @ UF, @ Clemson, @ Notre Dame, and @ Louisville. FSU is home. Just for ***** and giggles, we'll probably land a Thursday night road too, since those games always go so well.
Anyway, if this is a 7 win team with the schedule we have this year and a 2 deep full of upperclassmen, wtf is next year going to be like?
