the come up in the db room is crazy ... it shows self awareness and good evals ... after guidry left we immediately put money in that room, some of us thought we over signed, now look at us

Why would that annoy you? They are referring to the top 5 outside CBs. Keionte Scott played Nickel as you know and it's a completely different position to what Lucas, Frederique, O'Connor, Brown and Antoine play.

Semantics! 😂
 
Love Lake, he’s one of us. But ****, that was word salad. 247 said they needed a piece and that’s the result.

I was wondering myself if we over signed!

I just don't agree. I think he'll be this season's version of Mesidor. He's been playing out of position at guard, and I think that's skewed how people view him. When he has been beaten, it's mostly been on stunts looping inside. At right tackle, he won't see those. He has the athleticism, and play strength to be a dominant RT.

100%, McCoy from an athleticism and body type, is a much better tackle than guard and I believe everybody will see that this year. That was always supposed to be his position here.

To add to this, Tommy Kinsler transferred after the playoff run, so the staff had a full month to evaluate every offensive lineman on the roster, including Jackson Cantwell. They invested heavily to retain key players, yet they still let Kinsler walk a player who, as you pointed out, is expected to start at Ole Miss.

That tells me this staff knows exactly what they have in that offensive line room. There's no way they would have let a starting caliber player like Kinsler transfer if they didn't believe they already had better options on the roster.

Surprised to hear Upshaw may straight up beat out Josh Moore. Was thinking it would be a battle between Moore and Jacobs. Still think Jacobs will end up starting at Z and playing way more than people think. Dawson has been looking for that speed at Z for 3 or 4 years.

all I know is that when Upshaw was healthy he was catching passes and making plays. almost every game he had one or two big plays. he's a baller

Everyone is going to get a chance to step up and prove themselves. I fear we have JAG’s and I also hope they make me eat crow for thinking that as the season goes along.

McCoy isn't a "if he ends up starting" question. So I think we should just skip to the part of hoping you're wrong....

I thought that was him, I just didn’t have the time to go back and find the post. The talk about McCoy is silly. He’s a 2 year starter on a top 10 offensive line and the most experienced offensive lineman on the roster, yet some people want him on the bench. That just doesn’t make much sense to me. 🤦🏾‍♂️
 
I don't envy content creators (specifically for football) during this time of the year. Yes, Lake said nothing new, but what's new to report? This is the deadest time of the football calendar and these guys get paid to produce content, even when there's very little content to produce.

I do find it interesting that the areas with the most questions, OL and LB depth for me, are the two areas where we've lost players to the portal (particularly Popo and Kinsler). It happens, but now we have to rely on unproven talent...just like any other team.
