I wish Thompson had come in the spring. Everyone is gushing over Coleman, and well they should, but come late fall when the defense is worrying about him (the way everyone worried about Lynn Swann) your boy Perry Thompson (aka John Stallworth) is gonna eat.

I do hope we get the DB all sorted out, lots and lots of talent, just need to get them in the right spots. OL settle on starters and get them working as a unit.

Please let some of these young DL help on the outside, maybe Blockton on the inside.

Lastly, pick me up a couple of interior DL. in the portal.

I would expect it to be mid season before you see significant snaps from Thompson and would expect a limited route tree from him. It is very difficult to come in as a true freshman and pick up an offense. Especially an RPO offense. Same for Simmons however I think he can give ups some burn on special teams because he seems fast and physical.

The guys going through spring have a huge advantage.

I would say if we count the Buck as a DL we need 4 in the portal. 2 interior 1 strong side and 1 rush end. I’m not sure we don’t need a corner or nickel from the portal as well.

Offensively the players we have just have to play better period and that is for every position. Especially our “star” players… Hunter has to pass protect better, fairweather has to dominate defensive backs blocking in the open field, OL has to keep the pocket clean, Thorne has to check down more and throw fewer interceptions. The WR room has get much better. I think having Maurice Harris helping Marcus with the WRs is going to make a big difference.
