I'm still in pain. Last night sucked. But let's look ahead.
We return pretty much everybody. Should be a very good team. Here's what needs to happen to give us the best chance to make it special.
1. Get a LT.
Cross was a stud, and we're going to miss him. We need to hit the portal for a legit LT. We're probably going to land Percy Lewis from MGCCC so that's big, but we need some experience and talent here, otherwise, we in trouble. LT is priority #1.
2. Get an older CB.
Emerson is gone. Forbes is back. Richardson has played good in his few opportunities, but we need an older guy here to bring competition and depth. Whether it be a few JUCO CBs or another transfer, get another CB.
3. Get a 17ing kicker.
There are high school football teams who have better kickers than us. It really isn't that difficult. I'm not asking for a guy who can nail 65 yarders. I just want a mentally tough kid who can consistently hit from 40 and in. Matt Brock needs to be removed as ST coach. I'm not saying fire him, because he's a good recruiter and OLB coach, but his STs unit has been atrocious all year, and that's unacceptable. It's 1/3 of the game and should be treated as such.
4. Get a pass rusher.
The only way we ever get pressure is to bring the house. We need someone that can get to the QB without having to send all the LBs too. Maybe that guy is Jordan Davis who was hurt before the season started. Maybe Demonte Russell matures into that guy. Maybe we hit the portal for a guy. I don't care honestly. We just need someone that can 17 things up off the edge.
There are other issues too. Our LBs and safeties are slow. RT is a position that needs to be addressed.
But if we address those 4 areas I listed, we have the chance to be really freaking good. Hang in there everyone.
