Stroud v Simpson

DE talent is not there. Roche was a difference maker. Same with JP. We need Kelly and Stewart badly. Kid from UT not as advertised. Harvey looking like the line man out there until Williams flashes every once in a while.
 
Talent has fallen off. We don't have any stars on the DL right now. McCloud went from being the most confused LB I've ever seen to starting at DE. There's no Rousseau, Willis, Roche, Phillips, etc.

Man Simpson walked into nothing. They ain’t recruit barely anything after he dipped.

should be playing LT but we know how PT goes in the gables

Our DE are and will be special give them some times to develop! Elijah Robert’s needs to get some burn! Our interior D line is so bad! They play patty cake with opposing olinemen! These boys need to jump on a sled of something and learn to demand a double team
 
There no next level talent on the D line. JHH has a small chance to make a team. Other than that, we might have a practice squad guy at most. ***Young guys may change that we’ll see.

Unfortunately we don’t have any other options. The young guys are still learning the playbook and learning how to practice. As a fan you might ask, “how hard is it to just go after the QB? Our coaches even said they don’t care about gap integrity.”

Well thats not for you to question. You don’t know anything and frankly you aren’t qualified to ask that.

I think the end talent has fallen off a cliff. Maybe the run defense is better but not by much
DT is really good by committee I think. And will only get better. DE is a real problem long term. Even going into next season unless Manny hits the portal.

DJohnson unfortunately is who he is. A 3* recruit that barely did anything at Tennessee. I think we all hoped our scheme would make him look better but that aint happening right now.

Harvey is just a solid DE but nothing spectacular. (Now we see why Manny went to the portal last year to get Roche. Harvey wasnt it then and isnt it now)

Williams flashes but I think will get better with more reps. Hes only a 2nd year player.

McCloud is just doing us a favor here. Anything he gives is gravy because he shouldnt even be here. Getting a free grad degree I guess so its an even exchange.

There are numbers at DT, but they're just guys. Nesta shows up 2-3 times a game, though not often enough. DE talent is down dramatically over the last several years.
 
I mean, we did lose NFL talent and one of them a first rounder (GR15 didn’t play last year).
Losing players does not always mean going back to ground 0. Yes we have missed on blue chippers everywhere but its not like we had 5*s everywhere. We've recruited a decent amount of players that were ranked fairly high. I'd say vs App St our DL looked like a Sun Belt DL.
