Time to start drinking the Koolaid

That’s impressive. But I have no doubt he could’ve squatted more. I’m a 170lb weakling and I squared 315 last year (my PB). I’m guessing he has twice the muscle weight that I do, so I’m sure he could squat twice as much as me. I’m more impressed by that speed with that associated squat number :-O

The man is squatting well over double his body weight. Most guys that get in to those huge numbers don't need to worry about testing for PEDs.

We should all be impressed.

Antler spray misters at every station. I damn sure like it.

Yeah I'm firmly on the train this year.We've got a nice runway to get right for that road stretch. Just need to stay healthy.

running game will be legit. Hopefully we can see some improvements on the defense.

I'm worried about the passing game if we can't run the ball. I have no idea if our receivers can win in space or if Enos can be creative enough to make it happen.

I think we will be able to run the ball. The question will be, can we have a couple of guys step up at WR to be dependable and that KJ has trust in?

Having a great running game and being able to keep defenses honest with a serviceable passing game can mask a lot of weaknesses on the other side of the ball.

The proof will be in the pudding, but I've seen a lot of positive feedback about the WRs this fall so I'm cautiously optimistic. Armstrong, Dozier, and Satenga seem to have gotten solid reviews and the strength coach said Teslaa is a freak show.

I want to see plenty of intermediate routes on display as well. We know Enos will use the TE's for more than just another blocker.

That'll make me take a few sips of that red stuff.

Seems like there's been positive feedback everywhere. The staff seems confident in who they have pretty much everywhere you look. My heart won't let me write it off as preseason coach speak, though. The confidence the staff puts out is infectious.

My personal worries are the back 7. If they end up solid and everyone else is as advertised, it's hard to keep predictions in check. The potential on this team really is sky high but the floor is also West doormat.

If I'm signing up for another year of suffering I'm taking a few of you with me.

Everything hinges on that road trip. If we can go 2-2 or even 3-1 through there I don't see how we don't have it in us to run the table the rest of the way. I said 9-3 in the Rant prediction thread but I don't think that's our ceiling.

The LSU game is monstrous. That'll set the tone for everything.

If we beat lsu (which I put at about 5% likelihood) we could have a shot at the playoffs. But again, I seriously doubt we do that. As much as I’d love to beat their arse they are going to be very good defensively this year, and I’m not sold on our defense. My guess would be we finish somewhere around 7-5/9-3. I really like our offense and D line. I’m not sold on the rest

O line concerns me...

I believe our D will improve greatly overall, but it may take a bit for Eno's offense to take off as well.

I'm hoping that, by week 5, the Jimbo/Bobby experiment is an obvious failure and they are on the sidelines trying to skull frick each other.

Yep, I hope catching LSU early works in our favor as well.
