Here for the Wins

Our dreams? Our hearts?

Look at their damn roster dude. A transfer from Notre Dame. The top backup in terms of snaps. Freshman. One guy spent two years at Indiana, left and returned. The other 3 are Indiana guys. Not exactly portal city.

Yes. Yes, they are.

PFF numbers reflect him to be a poor run blocker. Let’s say he’s Kelvin Banks level pass protector. But poor in the run game. Are fans going to whimper and whine when we can’t run the ball in those big games?

Where does one draw the line here? Brooks has been in the system. He’s started or played a decent number of snaps against 4 SEC teams. Three on the road and one at a neutral site. That’s more experience than Baker had going in to last year. So say a non P4 guy has started but has few starts in such an environment are you taking that guy? Or a guy that’s a low level P4 that’s started 2 years?

I have at least 30 I can give him.

I understand what you’re saying. My initial response was a discussion/question that would lead a reader to the belief that their 2nd and 3rd units did have NFL starters. Based on what I’m seeing, that is not accurate. Even the starters from that team are struggling to be starters in the NFL.

I was responding to a comment about their 2nd and 3rd teamers starting in the NFL. However I do suspect some were a product of the system, maybe the chaos of the year too.

The 2nd team QB is starting, the first string is not. Duvonta Smith is doing well. Waddle has fallen off. Robinson, Harris both backups after being disappointing. Dickerson is probably the only lineman who hasn’t disappointed. Who else?

But that’s not how message board warriors critique our guys.

Alrighty. I reckon every guy that started an SEC game was an SEC starting lineman. Lefau was a starting LB. Wisner a starting RB. Mateer a starting QB.

Of the 47 players that played offense for Ole Miss, he was the lowest graded.

That’d be funny. I actually hope it happens.

It’s a bit ironic since every site I’ve visited complain and moan about individual players. The portal exhibition is largely an exercise in celebrating bringing in guys to replace those who “were not good enough.” Many of the opinions of the grown ass men are based on limited information too.

Big fan of horse racing.
