Defensive personnel

First and foremost I believe that our D- coordinator should probably retire.

BUT…. How much of this is not having athletic linebackers that can come up and fill holes, safeties (like Logan ) that could both cover and come and make the tackle. DE that can get to the QB.

I know there is a lot of scheming that can be done to make up for it. But how much of it is also ……. Putting lip stick on a pig?

Would love insight from those way smarter and sound than me.

The fallacy of our khaki pants portal recruiters being any good.

I hear they evaluate hundreds of players.

Okay great.

Start bringing some decent players in.

The fact we don't even offer Keyshaun Elliott is ridiculous. Understand the holes on your own team. Don't waste time "evaluating" players you already know arent going to be good enough or aren't needed; pull your wait bringing in better players.

We have three guys who work on this.

Do a better job.

Did Lance pursue a QB in the portal this offseason?

I can’t remember seeing anything if he did or not.

But I have said a few times I think not having a QB that can take Jalon’s job at any moment on the team has hurt Jalon. How can you accurately practice game pressure if you aren’t scared of the guy behind you pushing you to be better/fighting for the starting role?

Jalon has been a huge bummer this year. But Ballard isn’t going to win us games and Marshall is not close to ready.

We should have gone and got a QB in the portal and Lance pushing all his chips in on Jalon (knowing if he gets hurt you don’t have a viable back up or if this type of stuff happens where he isn’t playing good football) was a huge mistake.

In college there is always a couple of good QBs on the roster competing even if there is an incumbent. But college football changes on a dime with the QB position all the time. We don’t have that luxury. And in the NFL, you have to perform or you’re done so fast. Jalon faces none of that constant competitive pressure that I believe QBs need to perform at their best.
