The entire group of D backs left last year and we got better at the position.
I’m waiting to see what happens

Better players or better coaching. What/which happened?

 

[TrippieRedd]

Who knows out there. The going rate spends different in ETN than SoCal. I don’t know how committed that fan base is to winning either, just a different world.

Just hoping some names come out of left field, because the dudes outside of the CFP teams still bowling are pretty lackluster.

I mostly like Boston from Washington.

Good kid but this opens up a spot for far more talented players in my opinion.

Would Cam Seldon be an option since he wants to be a wr and it appears there are openings??

Coaching always looks better when you have better players

My brother said that about 10 minutes ago. Lol

So we’re down to 3 returning WRs? Woof. That’s rough. I know that room hasn’t been good lately, but it’s not like we’re willing to spend big on portal WRs.

Interesting how different people view the same scenario. To me it’s exciting. I’m pumped to see some new blood on the field

 

[JT3]

Thank the Lord. Hate to say it but he’s gonna take Squirells 2025 snaps and do better.

Over Staley??

I feel the same way with several guys on the team.

They don't play the same spot

 

[JT3]

They don't play the same spot

Who don't? Squirrel and Staley both play the slot.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

We dont have many playmakers but we got to find a way to get back to being tempo. Boy it was ugly when they slowed down.

 

[LaagerVol]

Do you have any concerns with us not making any or quality replacements at these positions in the portal? I'm concerned but optimistic.

If we haven’t added anyone significant before the season starts I will have some concerns. At this point it is borrowing trouble

Say “out coached” in front on any football analysts or decent coach from the high school level up and be prepared to be laughed out of the room.

A couple years back Bama and Georgia played twice. One one the first game big. The other won the 2nd game. “Out coaching” doesn’t happen game to game. It happens over a decade. One coach is just better than the other regardless of what the Tards think

You’re freaking hilarious.
Analyst and opposing coaches have been saying it.

Right…I missed when he posted Jenkins to the portal 6 minutes after Pete Thamel, for god sake, tweeted it.

Think about it man, these kids and their agents want these stories out for bargaining purposes. Sometimes info gets out so the money goes up . I’m telling you scoop knows and if you like free intel let him do his thing.

 

[hotcypress]

Kinda hard not to view the timing of the Squirrel and Boo decisions as being a trade-off

Staley is gonna play outside imo

 

[Orangeblood75]

 

[JT3]

Staley is gonna play outside imo

He played slot all spring and fall. Also played slot against Ohio St when Squirrel went out. He is a slot guy.

 

[Blake25p]

What now?

Buzz words to appease the masses. Most of which are stupid. You’ll never hear it in an actual conversation. But if you need to feel like you’re part of the conversation and can’t discuss it intelligently then have at it.

 

[TrippieRedd]

I’ll guess Bishop out of left field.

We shall see

Not a loss

I understand that perspective, but relying on 3 true freshmen to be impact players doesn’t seem like a recipe for success. I’m also just skeptical that Pope is actually capable of coaching them up. 2 years he’s had the job and the WRs have not looked good. That’s not all just recruiting.

These players are holding the teams hostage
