If we transition to a 3-4 scheme in the midst of the season, then we are dumber than I thought we were. If there is truth to Rome leaving the team, the I say good luck to him. You all seem to jump on kid's backs around here and make comments toward their character because they leave. If they feel like they can do better and have a chance to be happy somewhere else, then so be it. If you've been at your job for 25 years, and the boss keeps promoting the young newcomers right past you even though you know you could do well in the position, then you would thing about finding greener pastures too. If you didn't think about it, then your the sucker, nobody else. Maybe Rome moves on and does well somewhere. Again, if there is even any truth to this.
If you're at a job 25 years and keep getting passed over its because you're at a level that you can handle and other people have more talent and are better. You can leave or realize you're as good as you're going to get and decide to be happy and contribute at your best level or you can leave and look for a job elsewhere and most likely be miserable.
Oh...and we worked on the 3-4 almost as much as we did our base defense so its not like we're starting fresh.
Yes, you can tough it out and stay, your right. But you can't fault a guy for thinking he may have a shot at making a difference somewhere else. A lot of these guys want to have great college careers and maybe even move on to the Professional level. If that's what he wants, so be it. Good luck to him. Cody Green and Aaron Green seem to making impacts for their teams already.
As far as you 3-4 comment, what evidence do you have that says we worked on 3-4 as much as our base? I never heard more than just rumor mill bullsh#t from this site. Other than that, I heard no concrete evidence that we were actually doing it. If we did, work on the 3-4 and 4-3 equally, I guess that would explain why our 4-3 looks so f'ing' terrible this year huh? Maybe we should focus on one scheme at a time.
