I bet in December you’ll be nowhere to be found on this post.
So that's what you want? You have already decided the season will be a train wreck even though there are so many new moving pieces that no one has any way to know good or bad, and so you're literally looking forward and excited to come back in December to prove to everyone you were right and the season sucked?!? That's ******* pathetic.

is not so promising after just 5 practices and the issues that plagued CMR schematically on the offense side of the ball are still there. For instance, the OL is so below the level of a top tier Power 5 Blue Blood Program that a true FR is playing left tackle for us. Now granted, as the absolute diehard and homer that I am I do remember a youngster from TX named Andy Fox but from what I have seen at the last two practices Zion is no Andy Fox. To be more specific, the only guy I see playing at the next level from this group is Donaldson and at best he is a second day take for an NFL franchise. Then at QB its the same issues and although on paper there is more talent from this current trio, Tate has to be better than Rosier, he still has done nothing at the highest level of college football and continues to throw ducks all over the field and cannot hit a man in stride on a crossing pattern. No matter what scheme you want to run if the guys upfront look like chicken shi! instead of chicken salad you cant win consistently at this level of football as execution will be exactly what we have seen the last few years which is the epitome of inconsistency.

This reality will impact the defense and as the season goes they will get worn out once again. My "HOMER" goggles convinces me that our depth at just about every position on that side of the ball is much improved but the LB position cannot afford any injuries whatsoever if we are gonna be on the field over sixty percent of the game. Some may argue that we have a punter now and my explanation is once again we have a liability there as for every good punt I have seen its been followed by 3 bad ones and to add to the mix he is now day to day. He's gotta be brought in and fine tuned as there is no need for him to get hurt doing all the things real players do. His positional and hang time work has been better than his deep work which at times has been unacceptable. So in summary TNM looks a lot like the old MIAMI and at best we win 8 games and I predict the TURDS will win in week zero and that absolutely will suck to start my football season. No matter what happens this year or the nest I'll always pay my $200.00 a month for our tickets and cheer on my CANES just praying that somehow some way the glory days will return to my beloved 305.

Either this is a troll or someone Just going for the sake of it. You haven’t seen one thing that would lead you to believe that this offense/system is anything close to CMR days. You all see a couple of clips from these practice and make a who analysis for the season. Smh. 😂😂😂. It’s comical and stupid. Not sure which one is more. Wait til the season begins buddy.

I’ve been at both practices and all spring games so far and yeah guys look like they are in better shape but not better skill wise.

You mean Manny has not able to fix the last 15 years in five practices and less than 1 recruiting season?

Thanks for the #HotTake. Watch your back @rokulika

And yes, the first line is intentional.

Well as the ultimate homer yeah and keep wanting to have all this fixed in 7 months and have it translate into the field but what we are seeing on the field is the stuff we saw in the spring games. We will struggle at the point of attack and rely on smoke and mirrors this year.

Not a train wreck at all but winning eight games at best and staying mediocre

We don’t need the offense to be perfect, we need them to be average. If they were average last year, we would have won 10+ games. You haven’t been at the practices, and can’t tell much about what’s really going on, other than the 8 second clips that are uploaded. Everyone knew Tate’s arm strength isn’t amazing. What is ability to improvise in bad situations is Great. Regardless of who wins the competition we will be better than last year on the quarterback front and on the offense of line front.

Don’t be the guy to rain on the parade five practices In and not even a full day of pads or full contact.

OP is not right, and nobody knows ****. At least wait for the scrimmage to happen to have an opinion on how things are going, and the first team OL is actually doing really well, so I don't know where he is getting in his information, because it is completely false.

Well what do you think will change here? There is no magic switch that makes you a quality OL and we are very soft and undersized there. Now what can offset that? A stud QB which we don’t have so all good opposing coaches will load the box and dare us to throw just like last 2 years.

I’m serious here on all the fronts I’ve pointed out. We are not strong upfront and that’s where you win games.
