I would love to see Dickey put it together and a huge jump, but I would treat that as a pleasant surprise, not something I'm counting on. If he was going to be 5 star good we would have seen more of him by now.

Just get his route running tightened up and have him run routes for traditional passes, some quick flip inside zone runs, and some tunnel screens. Spare me the gadget plays that take a long time to develop with blocking that has to be perfectly executed.

This. Anything they do in the name of the student athlete that prevents them from seeing one penny is a lawsuit. The NCAA's mission statement continues to be the definition of a trust, they just can't get that through their heads what that actually means. This is so simple. If it's about student health and ability to complete their degree they have every right to step in, if it's about dollars and cents, butt out!

I like the idea of a new passing coordinator. Dink and dunk won't work for Moore. Let's get dudes open consistently down the field. To be unstoppable with Moore at QB we need to be able to make 10-20 yard passes without yards after the catch, at will. 3rd and 10? 3rd and 15? no problem.

Although top speed of nuclear carriers is classified, it's estimated at over 70 mph. They are the fastest ships in the NAVY. It takes two to cause an accident on open water, both failed to see the other in time to react and avoid collision. Because they are big it is hard to make quick changes, but then again, because they are big they should be harder to miss. But it was at night and we don't know if it was foggy or not.

It's a little counterintuitive that not blitzing allowed them to pressure Mahomes more, but if your coverage is elite that is how it can work, give the 4 DL time to get home. We haven't had that coverage ability since 2019 unfortunately. Here is to the development of the elite 2025 class secondary..

The Rose Bowl wasn't a case of the defense not getting off the field. 7 possessions for the offense in the first half is a lot, and they did almost nothing with them. Losing Stewart really hurt, but did we really have to wait until half to adjust? Looking forward, how much will Stein adapt our point guard offense now that we don't have "most college games ever played" QB behind center? It's a huge change due to personnel. Dink and dunk with a QB completion percentage of 70% or less won't work. We need to become a seven on seven greatest show in turf type scheme to make the most of our new QB's strength's that can overcome his penchant to make mistakes Bo and DG never did.

I think we need to stop caring about our overall rank, and focus on our average per-player rank. The reason being the portal. The reason greater numbers of played in a class adds value is just probabilities that some of the lower ranked folks will pan out. But with the portal all you need to focus on is getting quality over quantity and let someone else deal with the lower probabilities for lower ranked players, and the ones that actually pan out, grab them in the portal.

If the B1G is too lazy or unskilled to execute and manage those things then I could see them trading away that responsibility along with an equity stake. Obviously a 49% share for private equity would optimal, but I think they'd want 51% to be able to dictate outcomes to their advantage at the expense of everyone else if necessary to maximize their return on equity. Therein lies the problem. You're turning over you organizational decision making to an entity that has only one objective, returns on investment. Unchecked free market capitalism we've become so famous for that grabs every possible advantage to squeeze as much money as possible from as many people as possible as long as it is legal or will be legal after greasing a few palms in the right high places. They would squeeze the taxpayers and students of the public universities, the private university students, all coaches, the players, the fans, the advertisers, the janitors, etc. Everyone becomes mark. Will we get a benevolent PE firm (about as common as unicorns), or a United Healthcare type firm (worst case scenario), or something in between (most likely)? It definitely makes me nervous. We already get a taste of that from Fox and ESPN, stopped clocks to run more plays exchanged for running clocks and 2 minutes warning loaded with commercials. PE just takes that 360 degrees no stone left unturned.

From what I gather they've been getting low grades for effort, which is definitely something they can try to turn around.

Do you really think that rules would stop Washington from claiming they were national champions?

It should be easier to tailor defense for the offenses we will face that can compete with us. The game continues to change on offense. Is the Georgia scheme still the best? Or is the Ravens pro-style defense Michigan runs the best? Or is something else Jim knowles was running at OSU the best? Or what Avalos ran in 2019 the best? I don't know. All I know is any defense that is most vulnerable at the edges and the middle 10-20 yards downfield is going to get eaten alive with modern spread offense schemes as the Ducks have shown over the last 3 years, and it sucks to watch. I don't care about stuffing the middle all day if the other team can just go over us and around us on any down and distance.

Yes, Jordan Burch. In the fake punt he was moving so dynamically I thought it was our WR of the same number. Tez should be special too. He's going to put up some amazing numbers in the jumping, 40 yard and shuttle drills. I'm curious how many reps he gets on bench at 225.

You beat me to it.

The last thing I want to see happen here is Hampton go to OSU and outcoach Tosh. And it definitely says something already that OSU doesn't want Tosh. I know the 2 reasons why, our last 2 games of the season. You can guarantee questions Hampton will get in the interview, what happened and what would you have done differently if you were the DC?
