re: This year is a failure of recruiting, not playcalling

TLDR: our recruiting has been fine, and can fill in our losses except maybe at receiver and a better QB may fix that.

Maybe I'm optimistic but: Jackson will still be here, Shemar Turner looks like a stud, Tunmise got some pub in fall camp, but couldn't break depth, Ardarious (sp?) Jones has had good things said about him, D. Harris, Jazion, Elijah J was heavily recruited, and the kid from Texarkana - all for DL.

Safety should be fine: E Young, Antonio Johnson, Jardin Gilbert, Brian Williams

Hansford is gone, but you've got Cooper, White is still here, Antonio Doyle, Tarian Lee has been mentioned by Jimbo, Chris Russell. Hansford is good at blitzing, but I bet we've recruited to fill in.

Myles hasn't even really played, so you hope Tyreke C, and Deuce H improve to start opposite of Jaylon J. Depth concerns me, but you have Norwood and our DB recruiting class... If you can hold your top guys looks good.

To me the only really really weak spot where no one is consistent and I don't feel super great about depth/prospects is WR. But that may be partially a function of who is at QB. And with Haynes/Connor W maybe a couple diamonds come out and Demas/Moose/Price/Chapman produce 2 options with Yulkieth Brown in slot.

OL will be better. I'm not worried about RB

I think the talent in the wings, with another year of seasoning (this year) will not leave us in an awful place for next year.
