  1. ..I’m not hearing much about what/who needs to be upgraded in every way before ANY tangible success happens..and that’s linemen, both sides...this years Group is by far the weakest physically, mentally and absolutely unathletic...can run a single run play with a pulling lineman cause they are so overweight and slow that they can’t get to the edge..I never understood why pack 35-45 pounds of straight up fat on these O linemen..I would think a fit, strong and agile  270-280 lbs man would be far better..

      Your comment about the OL and DL are heard.  I agree.  We are in a world of hurt on the OL.  We literally have no system and there is not even a "sniff" of any type of pipeline.  

      Additionally, I think that over the years our recruiting ranks above someone like Wisky because of what we bring in for "skill" players.  But, if you look at the OL and DL recruitment of Wisky verses us both in the type of player they bring in and how they are developed ... it is the perfect example of why Wisky continues to roll and we can't seem to do anything with our higher rated classes containing better skill players.  Thankfully, Frost & Co. get it and now we wait, let them work and give them time to restore the order.  Do note however, Wisky is not going away.  They get it.

      Linemen should definitely be a priority. We also need some legit pass rushers because what we have right now isn't working too well. I have faith in Frost -- he will need 2-3 years to get his personnel in here but I expect to see improvement on both sides of the ball with each passing season.

      I'm not convinced that all the problems on the OL and DL were personnel as much as scheme.  I fear Langs and Diaco insisted the players had to be coached in such a way as to cover up perceived flaws in the scheme.  These kids can't be as bad as they played.  I honestly think we'll see better performance out of both lines next fall.  I expect Boe Wilson will explode onto the scene.
