physical appearance by the players. Looked at Denzel last year vs this year huge gains. Basically all returning players have noticeable physical changes. Can this translate into game day? My concern will be overall team speed from side line to side line on defense and vertical on offense

Overall very impressed that we are now "boys to men" and not thin like we were a few years back. I am not the computer savvy poster like most are but it would be interesting to get a before and after on our athletes to see the bulk they have increased to. Can someone walk me through making something like this?

Thank you

I want to believe, but I feel like we say the same thing every offseason. Then the season starts and our D gives up 500 yards and our "massive" o-line gets stuffed in short yardage situations.

I agree but according to Pete's last work his sources are saying the team is very fast and the most talented team we have had since 04'.
 
Hear the same story every year but I gotta admit, this one feels a little bit different. Not a drastic overhaul, but also not just chest thumping trying to make ourselves feel better.

It does feel different, the talent is starting to come back, not one doubt about it... The talent was very thin the past few years, we should be absolutely loaded by 2016, the fun is just beginning.
 
I think 2016 will be a beautiful team to watch but we will be losing lots of players and the bulk of scholarships. So we will be in a rebuilding stage once again until we are done with losing scholarships. However I want to see what this years team can do.

I want to believe as well. I truly do. But, this happens far too often.

not sure if serious....2016 team will be stacked with talent like no other as Al's recruits will be in their prime. This current senior class is the class Al had 2 months to put together and from here on out are all his kids. rebuilding my ***

What bulk of scholarships are you talking about?

We have been getting "bigger" every off season for 10 years now.

Just like going into 2010, when we had the most talented team we have had since '04.

And when Shannon was here, the feeling was fewer Coker Clubhouse players on the roster.....
 
I think we start fast again and fade towards the back end of the season. Depth especially at LB and safety will bite us in the butt again. Clearly though, talent is improving. Gotta get beyond these players getting tossed for misbehavior which is killing us depth wise.

So allow me to say this can we keep our top juniors from going pro? Should we allow our freshman to get major playing time just to avoid a numbers issue along with the scholarships we have to give up?

I hear ya, but the look is not the same, the leadership is not the same. When was the last time we had this many playmakers together on a team. We have guys with serious experience. No serious staff turnover. I'm excited big time. Stay healthy and college football will be surprised and on notice.

If we don't have any stupid to happen that would cause the team to self implode like the genius of an offensive coordinator running the offense like it was arena football and Shannon being Shannon we will be fine... kids on this team have been putting in work and one can see it from the pictures.
 
Oh, boy, we have one clown chatting about "bulk of scholarships" to be lost (apparently never got the memo related to skating) and another about lack of depth at safety.

I'm excited as ****. I'm ready to start decleating people walking down the sidewalk. I'm cautiously optimistic about the defense. There's speed and strength we haven't seen in some time. The concern for me though is the QB and OL positions. Our OL has been underwhelming and it was on paper much more talented in the past than this year. Obviously Morris and Jacory had issues but I think most everyone would agree that the QB spot is a major concern, though there is a glimmer of hope in Kaaya and Williams speedy recovery.

its the same hype every season but for my eyes and brain (if that means jack ****) I see more there this year. How much? No ******* clue.
