@Crimsonorblue22 that’s a really interesting observation. I checked out the offer lists for 2020 and 2021 and we haven’t offered anyone we’d consider a “bruiser” like Dave or Doke. Lots of lanky, 210-230 pounders who have some skill.

Might be in the market for another big in this class.

What’s sparking that?

College sports is all about ABC. Always Be Cruitin.

I think he just didn’t know he had passed, unfortunate but I don’t think he meant any disrespect. Obviously he had talked to him in years.

This is my take. I’m sure he’s embarrassed to be saying hey hope you’re well to a dead dude. Right thing to do to apologize. I doubt Kwamie is offended or anything.

Crimsonorblue22 said:

@FarmerJayhawk why on earth would he need to apologize for that? Guess I missed that!

It wasn’t great (https://imgur.com/sDbhNeN)

Anybody hear what the fox sports 1 announcer said about our receivers dad? Not sure which one. It’s in Kc star, can’t get it. I guess he apologized.

Yep. He was giving shoutouts to Kwamie Lassiter Sr., who passed in January.

@FarmerJayhawk How has Nick Saban’s defense fared against spread offenses with good, mobile QB’s like what they’ve seen against LSU, Clemson, Auburn, or Georgia? They get torched because a 3-4 is a bad fit against that style of offense. If more SEC teams ran that system, Bama’s defense wouldn’t look as elite as they typically do.

A 3-4 defense has never been a good fit against spread offenses with a mobile QB. It opens up too many running lanes.

Saban vs: LSU 9-3 Clemson 2-3 Auburn 8-4 Georgia 5-1 Total: 24-10. So I’d say pretty good? Michigan and BC under Don Brown based out of the 3-4 for years and led FBS in total D for like 3 years in a row. Georgia bases out of it now. If it was so bad why are elite defensive coaches playing it? You can scheme that some by spying a LB or playing zone behind it.

LSU didn’t run a spread offense until this year and they torched Saban’s defense. Auburn with elite QB’s have torched Saban’s defense over the years. Saban has a losing record against Clemson, go figure.

Saban gets by with superior talent, not superior strategy.

Cool, give me stats. Just saying stuff over and over doesn’t make it true. Now do Kirby Smart and Don Brown.

@FarmerJayhawk The issue with the DLine is schematic. A 3-4 defense doesn’t work against college offenses because the NT isn’t strong enough to handle the role of a nose. It takes years to get big enough.

With the OLine and LB groups, they’ve been hit by injuries pretty badly this year and having to play some guys who shouldn’t be playing yet. Dineen isn’t his brother and should still be a backup, but Prox’s injury has forced him into a bigger role than he’s ready for yet. Gavin Potter is going to be a great B12 LB, he just needs game reps.

The OLine seemingly has injuries every week so I’m guessing those guys are playing at 75% healthy at best right now. Malik Clark seems to get hurt every game at this point.

Long term, those positions will be fine and the OLine would look a lot better with a better QB behind them.

Sure it can. Otherwise guys like Saban wouldn’t base out of an odd front. Stanford plays a 3-4 and has won a ton of games with it.

Well they haven’t been good all year so injuries aren’t really the issue. They got worked by Indiana St. for cripes sake.

Agree that we’ll be fine long term. Sounds like we have a good shot at landing some quality OL in 2020 and already have a bunch of front 7 guys committed. Would love to get Fortin to top it off but we’ll see.

Also, Manny is terrible. Lets not do this anymore.

Not sure what’s going on since the announcing crew doesn’t know what’s going on but if Stanley is hurt let’s see what Mac or Locklin can do. We know what we have in Miles. A GA next year.

McVittie showed up big on his ONE play - - ugly interception

That was bad. Not going to read much into it given it was a janky trick play.
