re: Jamal Peters- Safety - top 5

FWIW, I agree with this post whole-heartedly as well.

Taking off the goggles -- it's easy to see the potential for huge problems at OL and CB that are mostly not Freeze's fault IMO that will self-correct next year. Now, OL kinda reared it's head already while healthy -- God forbid an injury or two this season.

The only reason I take the opposing stance is because of the one basically the entire online contingent of OM fans took with Mullen in year 3 when we experienced our OL clusterfrick with the 3 OL injuries against Auburn and LSU leading to Relf cracking a few ribs in the LSU game and never being the same again. OL issues turned another 8-4/9-3 team with a dominant defense(in spite of a dumb arse coordinator) into a 6-6 team that made me nervous against Wake in Nashville. All we heard then was "3 years is long enough to build a program -- Mullen can't recruit" etc... Was it his fault? Sure, partly. Didn't help that Croom only grabbed us one OL in 08 and 09 and Mullen was dumb enough to unleash Hevesy as our lead on JUCO guys we whiffed on across the board for 3 classes. Point being -- now that the shoe is on the other foot -- I've been trying to drive the point home that shite happens and it takes quite awhile to build an OL...
