not a single guy on our Returning front 7 has done a **** thing. Yes, LT has tremendous talent and flashed here and there but he hasn’t done anyth8ng yet. JHH, Miller, chantz, harvey, Roberts, ishmael, linebackers, etc..
It's one thing believing the DL (or OL for that matter) has talent but another thinking they're ready to contribute in a meaningly way. It's a consequence of not having balanced recruiting classes. It can't be fixed over night.
There’s a few decent pieces and some young talent but you’re right. There were a lot of misses in recruiting over the years. It’s why you need to recruit every position every year. You can’t just say “well we got two guys last year so we should be good” because if those guys don't pan out, you get stuck having to raid the portal for stop gap help.
It’s not potential.. it’s proven! Smh
I’m obviously talking about our current coaches. It doesn’t take long for an Oline coach to know what they have. And also talking about the people who chose the all acc teams.. they agree he one of the best in the league also. I’m also discussing with you, but you’re downplaying a player that has proven he can play and it makes no sense. We need help at guard but tackle was not a problem last year. We played well in pass blocking last year. Run blocking was bad, but it’s cause we ran the same play on first down every time smh. If the whole stadium knows what’s coming they can stop it. You could see the other team calling out our runs.
Making all acc doesn’t mean he is by any means elite but you are not going to find an all American RT that’s better either. All sec and all big are the only two that could be better players honestly.
Honest to god Manny was probably the worst coach that we’ve had in our 18 years of sucking. Things were bad from day 1 to his last game. King, Brevin, and some select other players covered up how bad we really were in 2020. I wouldn’t be surprised if the staff Mario has brought in, Mario included, was absolutely shocked by how much basic knowledge our guys were missing. The program hasn’t been run the way it’s running now since the late Butch years. Of Randy, Golden, Richt, and Manny, I’d gotta say Manny was the worst.
true
