To your first point, we need to get bigger up front through second wave of Portal and recruiting.
Made no sense to me. Those guys that played still made a lot of mistakes. Might as well have played the guys with the most athleticism and let them learn. Steed was the best of the LBs that played. He got better over the course of the season.
I don't know if TAC was handicapped because of the situation with his dad and the coaches. Definitely an opportunity for a fresh start.
Whomever rolls out onto the field, we can rest assured they are the best at their position. There won't be any questioning Steele or Strong like we did with Manny and Patke.
Cave didn't have his pops meet anyone. Don't change the narrative
FAAAAAAAACTS!!!!!!!
As much as Flagg gets trashed here, at least he seemed to know where he should be, even if he often wasn't physically capable of getting there. Jennings was the worst of them all. He looked confused and just randomly ran into people out there.
If a guy runs a 4.95 in the right direction, it can also mean huge plays for the offense.
I get what you're saying, but as a coach.... you're going to play the guy that you trust. You build that trust through reps at practice. If a guy is continuously making the wrong reads in practice and filling the wrong gaps, regardless of his physical abilities, he's not gonna be out on that field. Quick story.... (High school) We were making a depth chart one time, and my head coached asked me, "Coach, who are your starters (D Line)?" I gave him the names, but I was caught up between two kids at WDE and then he asked me..... "If your job depended on it.... and **** it very well may..... who would you choose?" I thought about it for two more seconds before I gave him a name. I went with the guy, that I trusted to know all of the calls, stunts, and assignments. What good are measurables, if your *** is unemployed? I can't feed my family, on a kids measurables. I have to trust that you're not gonna ***** up too bad or too often to play you. Now I continue to work on the kid with the measurables, hoping that he would eventually take the job.... and in a lot of cases they will, because they have a higher ceiling. I would play Mr. Measurables sometimes to get his feet wet, and I would let him do the things that he does best until he catches up. As a DC, if I did that... I would take off ALL checks. We were running what was called! But more than anything coaches will ALWAYS play the guy that they trust. If Flagg is still out there when we kick this thing off, you best believe that he has earned their trust. And trust that we now have coaches, that are smart enough to run a scheme that won't continuously put our slow MLB in a position to hurt us. That will be the difference.

Part of that was our DL having 0 gap integrity and allowing the OL to get to the second level at will.
That's not a thing we do here. Most people here had written of Harley and Mallory and ****, you even had a bunch declare TVD "ain't it" based on some garbage time throws.
