Sure. I would love to keep him, but won’t fret if he leaves either. I’d be more bummed if someone like EJ left than Fidone. And that’a coming from someone who wished we could have gotten Fidone more involved early in the year.
Dude hasn’t played in years. He certainly hasn’t set the world on fire, but I’d like to see what he does in a good offense. I hope he comes back.
He could have had a better season, sure. But I'd like to see how he improves this off season.
Or who could we get? Does nobody understand I’m not advocating for the guy to leave. More talent the better on the team. But if does it’s not the end of the world.
This sums up the major difference to me between the success of the O vs the D. The physicality and "dog" mentality shown by the D. They were laying dudes out. Hard hitting, gang tackling, punishing etc....The O, not so much. They lacked the physicality in the blocking department across the board. From OL, to FB, to TE and WR's... really see the receivers fight for the ball or really "get after it". Hard I know, when the passing game was erratic, but none of our guys went after the ball like I have seen other teams. The "eye ball" test comes to mind. RB's did well, but would love to see them become sledge hammers that by quarter 4, the D doesn't want to hit. Unsure how the D developed that (coaches?) and the O did not (coaches?). Younger guys on O, QB play etc all factored in. Here's to next year. (After we beat Iowa and get a bowl!)
Did I say I like Korn? We do need toughness and more aggression on the O side to match what the D brings to the table. The mental mistakes seem to point out a lack of focus or a lack of confidence besides the obvious lack of discipline.
It couldn't hurt if they threw to him. Looks like our best bet, to move the chains 6-7 yards when they do, which is far and in between. He seems like an after thought, when the do throw to him. I wouldn't be surprised if he leaves.
Great news. Benhart has quietly improved. Need veterans back. We have painfully seen what a lack of quality depth does. Be great to start having a plug and play 2 deep across the board.
