quote from a new coach on our football staff

[msbulldog]

Your right 34, I forgot about B. Cole.

[99jc]

completely disagree. We have some good depth finally at DT and on the OL- especially at OG.
Not as worried about CB as I was for 3017. Dantzler looked good in the bowl game and either he or Peters will be the 3rd CB because the juco that redshirted is going to start at 1 corner

I agree with 34 this team is 1999 good.

Areas of Concern: OL (depth), DT (depth) & CB (starters & depth)
Need Corey Thomas to stay healthy this season. He got hurt vs LSU and had to miss both the Georgia and Auburn games which allowed Georgia to double and even triple (a couple of times) J Simmons and pretty much do whatever they wanted vs our D.
CT, if healthy, should have a huge Senior year but he must stay on the field and give Jeffrey some help at other DT spot. Also, still pretty average at CB with little quality depth. Peters is too routinely beaten inside and deep, cb is still just not a natural position for him.
Ditto for OL. Paper thin.

I don't get why we're "paper thin" at OL. So we lose Rankin and the backup C, but Phillips and Suggs should both be good enough to be competent backups. Maybe give Story some snaps at C and and we can lose 3 starters and have competent backups. That's pretty good depth.

DT is another position I don't see problems with. First off Rivers gives more depth at DE and allows us more freedom to shift other guys around, secondly Lee Autry comes off redshirt to add another big body. Hoyett, Brown, harris, and now Autry gives 4 competent backups along the interior. Seems like as deep as you'll ever get, tbh

CB I agree with. We all agree Dantzler will be solid, and Peters isn't a disaster... but with Rayford as the only backup, we really need MM or Cole or someone to step up and play at a level between Peters and Dantzler. If peters is the #2 CB come game time I'll be worried. But I'm fine with him as the first backup in

According to multiple people Ive talked to- Cole will be the best CB we have. I worry alot less about them now- especially after Dantzler's bowl game

Dead on 100% accurate.

In what ways is this staff better?

There blue collar, not country club.

Knox-Holloway!
Hev recruiting-Pleeaze!
Gonzales-no receivers with more than 300 yards 2017!

[VandelayIndustries]

Nice. Can we start the season tomorrow?

[Bulldog1]

In what ways is this staff better?

JoMo- aggressive play caller. Don liked to be aggressive, until we played a big game, then he played not to lose; AND he won’t be out job shopping every year like Don.
Shoop- Don’t think he’s better than Grantham, but I think he’s just as good.
We have a former NFL coach as an assistant- that can’t hurt.
Shoop will be working w/ safeties- our biggest hole on D.
Someone else can fill in the other improvements, this is just a few

[Coach34]

In what ways is this staff better?

Communication in recruiting and with current players for one

[Commercecomet24]

There blue collar, not country club.

Yep I see this as well. This staff actually understands the concept of relentless effort.
