Robot Santa

To who? None of the players on this roster have achieved anything. They don't deserve the benefit of the doubt based on the reputation of a program that no longer exists.

The rest of them were at least adequate pass protectors though. RT was just a turnstile unless Carroll was out there, in which case RG became the turnstile instead. We had 3-4 guys who could pass protect OK and maybe 1 who could run block. That's why they tried like 17 different combinations last year. As has been pointed out though, there is a distinct possibility that they don't get any better at run blocking and regress at pass protection due to inexperience.

Just one guesswork opinion, but I think a lot of the run blocking issue is just that our S&C program is great when it comes to presenting massive amounts of data in a positive way but fricking sucks at improving strength and conditioning. Ballou is basically a corporate VP of nothing whose primary skill is in making compelling power points that make his bosses think he's amazing.

Again, let's all say it together: Traeshawn Brown, Freshman All-American. Manifestation everyone.

The report I got from my REC sauce was similar, but far more critical of the OL and QBs, all of whom he described in....less than positive terms. He's a glass half empty kind of guy though.

That's pretty much every successful program. If you don't have those 2 things you're not going to be successful, generally.

Ohio State has won them recently with Will Howard and Cardale Jones. UGA with Stetson Bennett. Us with McElroy and McCarron + 95% of 2017 with Hurts. Michigan with JJ McCarthy (and some cheating). That's just the last not even 20 years. Dabo has been unable to create anything special with that tier of QB though. He has only really been able to make it work with a 1st round talent at QB.

Sark, Rhule, and Beamer are 3 other guys who probably need to reach certain benchmarks this season to be safe. Playoffs, 9 wins, and a winning season respectively. Norvell's seat is engulfed in flames but it's so well insulated by mountains of cash that it'll be a couple more years before it's hot.

"Well into the future". We're never moving out of Coleman are we?

First time hearing him talk. He's an impressive kid and seems to have his head on straight. Not many 17 year olds are this well trained in speaking to the media either. Reminds me of Bryce and Hurts.

Ty Haywood out of the starting rotation is surprising

Someone on here (so take it with a huge grain of salt :lol:) said a few weeks ago that the light hasn't really come on for him yet.

I am only getting 13.

Holloway
Diaz
Allen
Samuels
Jemison
Cloer
Bouie
Richardson
Bristow
Onyejiaka
Davis-Fleming
Fielder
Garrison

Am I missing 2 or do walk-ons count against the 15 limit?

If Reese is the kind of linebacker who stonewalls RBs instead of letting them gain 2 extra yards being dragged down he'll be the favorite player of this board by late September.
