I know everyone gasses up S/C program but i think we’ve seen the players that DK and Bituli are. Maybe a little room for improvement but not much.
i think the injury bug for DK did him in.
bituli has flashed, just not consistent.
i'm not ready to poo poo strength conditioning...that's not something that comes together overnight.
which is why i'm really paying attention to the middle of the roster more than anything. if we're gonna do something this year, it's going to be because the middle has come up to at least the level of some of the returning starters.
we have very few bonafied "stars", so aside from guys like thompson or taylor at CB, i mean who else really is an "all sec" level performer? DT has that ability, if he can be consistent. i think Bituli has it to, but he's gotta find another level.
past that, if we can jsut get most of everyone else up to average/above average and capable of making plays when they're in the game at least, we can be pretty good.
if the middle stays where it's been and they can't be counted on to go rotate and contribute, probably 6 or 7 wins is the celing. if not, then 8 or 9 isn't out of the question.
as per usual, we still have more questions to answer and we're probably one more season away from being able to come in to a year with some already answered questions about the roster.....
