Absolutely correct!

If dan plays Fitz all game against USA and Aeris from game 1 we win at least two more games last year, possibly 3 more. So in actuality we had a 7-8 win team last year with shit coaching decisions.

You might be surprised by how well our WR's are going to play this year.
You hear those bells mother-fudder....an Air-RAID is coming and that is yo ass!

Did you forget the 2 years before last season already? Or are you a Bear? We have the QBs lined up. WR is getting fixed already. We need OL, I will give you that.
Yep. May need the Enforcer to just do a status check on this one

Pulling in better OL will help our downfield passing more than anything. OL giving us time for those plays to develop is really all we've been lacking. We all see what Dak can do with a competent OL. That's what is ultimately holding us back from taking that next step.
Guess I answeeed my question from another thread. In order for dan to take the next step, we have to get better on the OL. And sadly to get better on the OL we probably have to send Hev packing.

I understand that. My point is we still won't be in the top 10. It's too difficult. Not enough star power in state. And yes I think it too will be a great class. Should be top 20 assuming we sing the full 25 as we should. But that doesn't change my point about this year. People are saying we are having a much better year, Mullen is focused more or whatever. I think he's always been focused, yet this is class that will finish about 25-30. Just what it is. And again, I really like our class.

Please show me where I said the 19 class is only top 30.i said the word THIS class, this meaning this year, 2018. As far as 19 and forever, I said and mean it's hard to be top ten. And it won't. Bookmark this if you like.

Next year's class actually does have the star power in MS.....but we would literally have to sign every 4/5* player to finish in the top 10, and that won't happen. A top 15 class should be doable though....especially if Jalon Jones gets bumped to a 4*.

That strategy is great for pro development but does allow for the risk/reward plays that help you have upsets.
Read this article and look at Mullen's quote about 3/4 the way down on QBs making the average play.

I think we throw it deep enough to be effective enough to beat Bama if we can complete the passes. Having a better o-line and taller outside WR's would help with as well.

I agree. When Jake Wimberly had his video review thing last week the thing I noticed wasn't so much that it was a bad play call or anything like that- but it was our o-lineman got completely blown up on the play and that wrecked it before Robinson could do anything.
