    Timmy was miles ahead of Flowers as true freshman.

    Jimmy Horn had 400 yards as a true freshman. Thats gotta be a program record for a true freshman.

    Xavier Weaver went from never having more than 160 yards in a season to over 700, while missing some games.

    I hope you are right about Timmy however Flowers was also attempting to run a west coast offense his freshman year.  Not comparable.  Weaver is a god send and the recieving core is adequate.  Not sold on the entire package just yet.  It's taking a heck of a long time to see the pieces come together.

  2. Taggart found difference makers right outta high school and played them as freshmen and that gave us the edge (their high school film jumped off the screen).  I hope we get our pass rush right.  The last real everydown DE/OLB we had was Eric Lee and that was years ago and it took years to develop him.  Where is the player development and where are the explosive difference makers? ( I see you Battie).

  3. Or we could recruit difference makers out of HS like we did with Taggart and put them on the field as freshman and Dream Team 2.0 will be in full affect.  I will even change my avatar back.  I'd prioritize those HS relationships over mercenaries you find on portal and you have little knowledge of family, mindset, and intelligence.  Say what you want but Taggart was pretty good at relationship building and getting to know them early.  If you already recruited the player and missed on them out of HS then by all means (I.e. Taggart with MVS).

  4. Charlie Strong didn't take enough chances to win yesterday especially knowing before hand his kicker was iffy.  QB, defense, and o line are improving but coming from nothing that isn't saying much.  Product is wildly inconsistent week to week based on injuries to key personnel.  This isn't a Skip Holtz situation like I thought earlier in the season.  Everyone can agree he's wildly overpaid for what we have gotten but he isn't the worst thing I've seen either. 

  5. Our struggles offensively weren't too hard to predict.  We literally did go routes and HB dives all season last year.  Further, Glibert's designs cut off half the field so the QB only needed to make one or two progressions without a checkdown.   This stagnated everyone's growth in football IQ.  Now trying to teach routes and fundamentals it might be easier to start with freshmen.  Will it pay off eventually is anybody's guess...
