It's year 3. This is disingenuous and gross. One minute we have the best LB recruiting in a decade, next it's how could we expect these JAGs to step up. Only 1 LB on the roster remains from the Manny era.
Which is 1 too manny. He didnt recruit 1 good LB in his 5 years. Its about depth. By your logic we shouldnt have gone after Cohen last year. Shouldnt go after Martinez so the young RBs can play. LBs play alot on Special teams. Again 1 injury away from an unproven 1st/2nd year LB starting
By your logic we need to focus more on the portal and stop bragging about top 10 classes that are only good enough to take large chunks of NIL and not playing time.
Flagg was a senior and the young guys were freshman and true sophomores lol.
Well yeah, I'd actually think it makes more sense for having him next year than it even does this year tbh. Mauigoa will be gone, and I'd bet theres a good shot Wes leaves after this year. Either he stepped up and declares for draft, or he didn't take that step up and possibly gets surpassed and transfers. Then we have no experience for next season... So that part makes sense to me why a guy with 2 yrs is actually more preferable than just 1.
We sure didn't think that way regarding DL. It's all a cluster-fu#$.
The issue there is the lack of experience on the roster. When you look at the group of guys being targeted in the portal are older guys with lots of playing experience.
We don't know till Florida comes. Thou shall not use Spring Games to evaluate.
Look at the LBs we have now. And then remember the LBs we had with Manny as head coach.
Then at the end you don’t play the talented freshman's and you bring experience depth? Then we wonder why they transfer!! There is no need or lack of talent excuse on this unit.
So none of the freshman are playable? GTFO. This is lack of development by coaches!
So if he is not a stop gap fold the LB unit and the crap being telling about how great LB coach he is.
Well we have to many, we just don’t play him and keep bringing portal LB. Then we wonder about all the trash talk about how great the LB room is looking under DN and MC regime. Follow the actions not the words.
Ive been a fan of almost all the LB we recruited the last 2 years. If these guys cant be trusted for minor snaps a game we aren’t in better shape. Once they perform at a high level or any level I'll accept gloating. A year ago we were celebrating guys that aren't even on the team (Kelly, Wayne, Collins etc) Whining and acknowledging double standards are not the same but I know this is moping.
We needed a C from the portal. Idk if he's any good or not. I was just making the point that we are using the portal at nearly every position.
