I tried the hoodie off thing. I tried the Orange and Green glasses thing; but it’s time to be real again and not a homer fan.
Today’s close; unacceptable, IF we’re trying to compete at an elite level. We’re hella unbalanced right now, and that’s my biggest issue. Our weak points are Trench Depth (particularly in the middle) and DB depth.
Kul missed out on every DT prospect outside of Nesta and here’s hoping to Miller becoming an animal. U can’t lose two prospects in Briggs and Chatman to a coach who’s only been on the job 2 months and a staff that’s been assembled for a month. That’s absurdly unacceptable. He gets a pass on Keondre due to him being a long time Texas commit.
Rumph missed out on, not 1, not 2, but 3 supremely elite DBs.....all in our back yard, and 2 of which are once in a generation prospects that he happened to coach. That’s inexcusable, ladies and gents. There’s no way to excuse or explain this.
The perception around here has to change. The TO chain was cool, but it’s not cool when the D is being shredded by QBs who will never see Sunday’s at the next level. It’s not cool going 0-3 to end the season.
We can’t continue to lose battles for elite players. Dugans, Hartley, and Brown are helluva recruiters and their coached positions are killing. Until we truly become elite on D, until we stack chips, this will happen again, and again. Storm 18 is a good class, but it’s not great b/c we didn’t excel at closing and improving depth at severe position of needs, DT and DB, and that falls on two guys.
I’m going to stop u right here; I don’t want to hear just wait until 2019. We’ve said the, just wait til (insert year) theme for too long. I said it at the beginning of the season, if we have another long losing streak, the 18 class momentum will crash. Our saving grace was the early sign period....believe that.
