strange how many wideouts we seem to be loading up on…after the way this year has gone I’m somewhat of the opinion that we really need to focus on the trenches and take a page from Parcells building from the inside out. Dominant O-Line and D-Line and let the skilled positions work themselves out.

Any running back can look pretty damn good when he doesn’t get touched until the second level. Also, any quarterback looks a whole lot better when he can set up camp in the pocket and wait for receivers to find an opening. : )

are we still talking about football?!?!?!

We do seem to be doing a nice job of getting skill position players- especially at wideout. But the biggest weakness of our program, IMO, is this:

We are just as fast as the elite programs on the offensive line, defensive line, and linebacking corps…except their guys are 10-20 pounds bigger than ours, on average. We have to be able to get bigger and stronger at those three levels if we want to consistently compete in a conference like the Big 12.

Good schemes that are well-executed are great. But at some point, you need to be able to go man on man and physically dominate your opponent.

1. Have we ever really recruited New Jersey before? There’s a surprising amount of talent that comes out of that state- could be a good sign for things to come.

2. Remember, these kids could always be moved around to CB or Safety. If this kid really does have elite speed, at 6’4 he could be a devastating corner- you aren’t winning jump balls against him!
