WR most improved unit. DL is ok need some guys to step up.... D is legit but we need some guys to turn it on...DBs were solid but not great. WR were improved.. OL is the best they have had... QB is solid. No concern.... LB... fast physical. Need to play under control. D intense but need to play more in control.. WR improved... DBs. Better. Need some guys to step up. Better than expected. Did I mention WR impressed....
The defense hasn't been that good. Still learning and short on players. WRs are still inconsistent but will be better than last few years. Watching this SMU/Texas State game, these damn WRs are making some crazy good catches!
Leach said KJ suffers from "big arm disease" and the objective is for the WRs to have a chance to run with the ball once they catch it.
Implying KJ needs to put some touch on the ball occasionally so they receivers are not bobbling a hot potato and can get up-field.
Take this for what it worth but I've heard from a few defensive players that Schrader has looked really good this fall. Arm strength is excellent and has recovered from surgery. Rumor that JoMo S&C program did absolutely nothing to help him rehab his shoulder. Once again take it for what it's worth but it's coming from guys on defense that would know. I think it's gonna be fun interesting season.
I'm just hoping that our scheme creates some confusion and turnovers to offset our lack of talent and experience. And that Leach can outscore some people if need be.
Ducking is a man child here and Shavers does somethings

Maybe... but most kids, and I say most, thrive the more they are pushed. He wasn't a cancer last year. He just got led the wrong way by someone. Maybe he wouldn't have made it. But had he stayed, I doubt he would have quit and would have instead flourished. But that Ship has sailed
I'm not going to argue w you it would be a waste of time. But I'll leave this, . our second best cb isn't 160 lbs. and he's gaine more than 10 since he got here. We have zero depth at any position. But let Arnett have it when I'm right. I tried telling everyone last year our d was not going to be good. I was told but rivers, Cole and so and so were Nfl players ( they never were close) we lost them, gay, Autry, Lovett, dantzler and Jones off of a bad defense. But ok we will be fine.
The "we gonna be bad on defense" crew is very similar to Coronabros
They don't want to hear other opinions, they don't want to hope, and care more about being right than trying to be optimistic.
It's a disease of arrogance and I'm not saying they're wrong. I just prefer to hope and be optimistic.
I just want to clarify my post about schrader. I was not saying he would be the starter or even the 2 just that he was progressing very well under leach and doing well. He's incredibly athletic and does have a very good arm so like I said good problem to have.
Naw Its to prepare everyone not to freak out when we give up some points and yards this year. Also, there's a consensus that we have found a great DC and given enough time to develop depth and get a little more talent on certain spots we'll be back to having a nasty defense.
Heck man I'm just glad we're arguing football again and not all that other stuff!
It's good to have it back!
My thought is that it can’t be much worse than last year when we didn’t have the suspension players playing but the truth is we don’t have a legit SEC starter everywhere and the depth chart is really thin some places.
Hopefully the scheme itself can cause enough confusion to help some bit. Expectations are just going to have to be realistic though for the squad. Given the tempo of our offense and roster issues, holding anyone to under 25 will be impressive and anything under 30 will be dang good
I'm just looking for toughness and effort from the D. We are going to swarm to the ball, that's what you do with defenses with a disadvantage. Timely stops and turnovers will be the biggest stats in our winnable games.
The effort definitely seemed to be there. We play hard all year like that, and I will be happy.
No here's the problem, you dipshits want info. I bring what I know and hear. Y'all don't like it some I'm wrong or don't know crap. Fine. Start 8000 threads and beg for info from someone else. It's not like I want to be right it's just what I'm hearing from really really good source. But don't worry I won't worry about it. Figure it out for yourselves. Checking out. Enjoy.
