Who also had a Stone Age offense. 7-6 Wisconsin was not Michigan, either. That’s not relevant. Look at the schedule and tell my why their defensive ranking is impressive after facing Iowa, Rutgers, Northwestern and Nebraska…

Our CB situation would have been far better last season if we had stayed put and not taken Duce chestnutt and Denver Harris and instead worked on developing our young guys.

Taking Denver and Duce had nothing to do with developing anyone. The young guys weren’t ready. Throwing them into the fire in year one isn’t a development plan. There is also nothing ironic about it. We don’t have a young group of DT’s. Outside of McKinley, our other underclassman were ranked outside of the top 500 in every publication. Everyone else is upperclassman that have no history of production. As it stands now, Guillory is our most productive player at the position with 2 career TFL.

I’m not sure how anyone sees anything else than this observation. If you don’t believe me, just listen to Pete Jenkins talk about how much of a disaster the depth was last year with 3 draft picks in the room.

The young guys were thrown into the fire in the middle of SEC play without half a season’s worth of first team reps and focus and film study.

Did you ever play sports?

You don’t think our secondary would have been better off against bama with 8 games together?

It is unquestionably better to sort stuff out against grambling rather than Alabama.

Denver and Duce both MASSIVELY directly contributed to FSU and OM losses and massively directly and indirectly contributed to the chaos in the secondary all season.

That is inarguable.

Their talent NOWHERE justified in hindsight taking them on for what amounted to half a season worth of play.

Maybe barrow and williams end up being the next Dorsey.

Their college careers so far don’t say they will be.

Their behavior and the circus of the portal thus far though makes me believe they will be a lot more like Denver Harris than a Greg brooks or Jayden Daniels.
