Lol we don't have a roster of sloppy seconds. At some key positions? Yes. Depth wise? Yes. But we have a pretty talented starting 22.

Sure, but are they pieces of a cohesive unit? Do we have a cohesive strategy that emphasizes traits of certain players over other traits?

That seems like a no. The offense lost its focus when KK left (are we HUNH? spread? power run?) and it seems Chavis values a different kind of player than Snyder did. Chavis and Mazzone weren't hired because they excelled at the system that the talent in place was recruited to play. They were hired because they are top professionals on their side of the ball (when they have the players they need for their system in place). That is a mismatch that takes years of recruiting to fix.

So yes the roster is very talented, the most talented for A&M in decades, but it is like an isle of misfit toys. And quite frankly too much of the elite talent is gone after next season. Hopefully those misfits lineup and make a bigger splash than the sum of the parts so that way we don't have to reboot everything and start over again.
