All you soy boys just can't handle not getting your way. I'm beginning to wonder if some of you complaining are on the football team. Good luck against the Gators.

All defense. Can someone please find a few new offensive players for a change? Apparently NOT!

How'd that elite offense work out last year? Defense wins championships!

The all new defensive staff is not on the field playing. And being told in year 3 that the dline will be fixed in 3 years is laughable. I know the situation and it is what it is. Getting it fixed in 3 years is your opinion but I promise you that is not their timeframe. Peoples jobs are always on the line at this level. TWO years from now if the defense isn’t better changes get made. A lot of talent gets wasted if we can’t have at least a middle of the pack defense within 3 years. Last year was a wasted year in tgat if our D is average we have another trophy. I’m not talking about being elite. I’m talking average. At least our offense will be good but I just dont think BK is thinking “we will get it fixed in 3 more years”

It typically takes 3 years to rebuild via high school recruiting. It doesn't matter what anybody expects or thinks that is a fact. .

Yikes

We are starting over with all new defensive staff and depleted roster. 3 years is typically what is expected in this situation, Yes? Only way to speed up this transition is to overpay average portal players which may cause strife within the team. BK is in a hard spot but I don't see him overpaying and taking chance of loosing team. They will just keep trying to find players that fit within the team structure. High school recruiting will ultimately resolve this but that will take some time.

We gonna have to move Paris Shand and Savion Jones to DT at least on passing downs. They both weigh about 280 I think.

Passing downs? I don't expect much passing going on against this defense. You have to be able to stop the run first. Teams are going gash up the middle and force to commit more to the box. Then it's bombs away. I'm starting to have flash backs of last year.

Well, it’s a 12 team playoff now. So it’s more achievable based on the previous seasons

They wouldn't have made a 12 team playoffs last year with the #1 Offense! What the hell makes you think they can make top 12 this year with a worse defensive front then last year? :rotflmao:

Then let’s not make it a habit of having to rely on the Spring portal.

Exactly, these guys are praising BK for not overspending. NO shite. None of us want them to overpay for these average (at best) DT's.

Thanks for completing missing the whole point of this thread.

You are the one missing the "point". I'll spell it out for you. In year 3 of a rebuild you should never be in a situation to have to overpay at any position.

Leave? Ya, he left alright. To get the frick away from House.

people getting mad at BK for not giving in to these demands are foolish. he is going to build through the HS ranks, now that he has the D side shored up. and he'll use the portal for marquee guys when needed.

Wrong! We are mad because this is BK's third year and there is no excuse for our DT group to be this weak. BK is responsible for the management of the ENTIRE team not just the offense! He hired those coaches. He let House run off a very good DLine coach and hire a below average replacement. Now he's starting all over in year three. That isn't good enough!
