I saw a good question on Twitter today from one of the beat reporters (maybe Porter?) asking who is our best player not named Brad Kaaya? The fact the question is hard to answer is why I'm not optimistic about this year. I guess my answer is Deon Bush (when healthy) or 2013 version of Stacy Coley. After that? No idea in all honesty. There are some potential stars (AQM, Chad Thomas, Grace, Yearby come to mind), Greentree All-Americans and "good not great" players to sort through. In all honesty, it's probably our punter Justin Vogel. I expect him to be All-ACC this year.

Who do y'all think it is?

The scheme doesn't call for playmakers, it calls for #united and #wefense. Anything else would be considered too cliquish or too free-roamingish.
 
Al doesn't like play-makers, especially on defense. Ed Reed would ride the pine under Al. Al would probably bench Hester for scoring on KOs and punts because it puts his defense back on the field for another exposure.

Exactly.
 
I think Herb can be a playmaker for us. Maybe even Berrios, too. And Scott has some skills. I think it goes without saying that Coley can be nasty if he gets his game right. None of these guys, at the moment, are a Duke type that strikes fear every time he touches the ball (except maybe Coley), but they're potentially big-play guys IMO.

On defense, our ends/OLBs (Quan, Thomas, McCord) could be playmakers, but...well, you know.

This was actually funny. Lol. Esp the Devin Hester part. It actually sounds like some **** Al would do.
 
I am sorry to inform you that The Playmaker's son and nephew are going elsewhere. So, no more playmakers here.............

"Well, Joe, Ed knows what he needs to do. He is taking bad routes and leaving our linebackers exposed in coverage. It starts with me, though, and he knows what he needs to work on."

I am serious. Ed would stay in Al's doghouse -- way to much freelancing. And think about Amstead, Smith and Barrow as LBs. -- now think about them 30lbs heavier. Al would have destroyed every great team with even had. Cornhuskers would have scored 100 against Al in 83.

Yes, but we would be much better in leaping and bounding. That's what it's all about!
