Yeah I think when talking ceiling with him it’s recruit well (hs and portal I guess), strong defenses, smart enough to stay out of offenses way and not stubborn (golden richt with their coordinators). Things that scare me are the awful games from last year plus bye week issues. The bye week issues in particular worry me because we have been a terrible defense on opening drives since he’s been here not sure if those are related
This. The short term improvement has been pleasant. I think a lot of people’s memories of the last couple years are clouded. However, there are aspects that need to be improved if the program is going to build for further success. They can’t stand pat. Just beating bad teams is an improvement over losing to them but eventually they’re going to have to start putting some distance between themselves and the ACC also-rans. There’s some minor fundamental shifting needed but not a major overhaul.
They tried a few stretch plays against UVA and they all lost yardage. You can’t block 7 or 8 guys with 5 linemen. They need to force defenses to respect the pass more. They were able to stretch Virginia vertically and horizontally and that opened up the running game in the second half. I just think in the rush to run plays as fast as possible, Lashlee limits his own offense sometimes. You don’t NEED to run inside zone right after a first down because it’s the fastest play you can get into position to run.
Notwithstanding that you have a cat, like me (I have 2 cats including a panther like you - a Bombay), knowing your manly demeanor, I knew shît tsu’s wouldn’t work so I had to find puppies that grow into more manly dogs. I wanted to leave no openings but not overdo it with Pitbulls or something like that.
I agree with this except Miller and Harrioson-Hunte seem like good evals. Harrison-Hunte is explosive and Miller is Big and strong. Yet we play Ford. One thing I can't understand is why we line Ford up at the 2 or 3 tech and put Nesta at the 1. If Ford is that much of a non factor sit him. He is supposed to be the space eater and half the snaps he doesn't even line up over the center.
I agree w u whole heartedly. I harped about securing & getting more talent in the trenches for yrs, primarily OL & DT. Our DT position is much better than yrs before, but it’s still inconsistent. However our OL is absolutely putrid.
History says this is probably wrong. Keep in mind that Tyree St. Louis has started NFL games this year, Kc McDermott has played and Ty Gauthier is one call away on a practice squad.
Williams is the only one with a chance in the near future. The others have to keep developing but have enough tools (they each have multiple years left after this one). Gaynor probably isn't athletic enough, but the others are. I'd say Zion has the best chance long-term.
From trips to the dog park I can say with some certainty that huskies are the biggest a-holes of the dog world.
