On paper this team is ready to compete

I think Corral will have a chance to beat out Sam in training camp, but they won’t force the issue.  

That’s not going to happen in training camp. Sam isn’t good under pressure but they can’t even lay a hand on him in camp and won’t play enough in preseason to get the yips. Corral will get his chance week 8-10 if Sam is floundering. Sam would have to still be completely shell shocked from last year to lose the job in TC.

Really looking forward to seeing our offense this year. Injuries really have derailed us the past 2 years along with suspect coaching. It seems clear we will be much better coached on offense and special teams.  And that does make a huge difference.  I am hoping the injury gods are favorable to us this year. If so we should be a hard out this year. It has been so long since we had a good line and competent OC I think most on here have forgotten the difference it has made.

Did you actually think any of these qb's were actually going to beat Sam out for starter right away? 

As bad as Sam is these kids are nowhere near ready to supplant him, none.

 

Maybe Pickett but no I didn’t the best thing about this pick is that it will be Sams first real competition he’s had in a training camp without a silver spoon

I think we're set up quite nicely for a 2023 mini-refresh if things go off the tracks in a hurry.  Matt is a 3rd+4th round investment & it doesn't preclude us from going QB with a new coach in 2023.

Meanwhile, we can get overly optimistic we got ourselves a Dak type situation with Corral.  And maybe Rhule can turn a corner with NFL guys around him. 

And we have no more hamstringed longterm contracts holding us back after this year.  Just a handful of foundational guys here for sure come 23'

Moore, Icky, Moton, Corbett, Horn, Chinn, Burns, Donte, Brown, X Woods, YGM, & Luvu

Finger crossed for guys like K Taylor, Brady C, Marshall, Tremble, Nixon, Hoskins

The rest are either vets that could go elsewhere (CMC, Hendo, Shaq, Robbie, Littleton, etc.) or just bottom roster types

    • I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
    • I did, but again we're aware of the practice in college of inflating height/weight as well as what is considered normal and his freshman weight tells a lot. There was a recent Raw Room episode where at one point they were discussing putting on their "big boy weight" when they go to the pros. It's common for guys to have to slap on 20lbs over the summer, but King Dunlap mentioned having to put on 30 and how much of a toll that took on his body. That makes the idea of putting on 50 at the college level even harder to believe. I've got experience with cutting weight and that type of drop sounds just awful... and that's even if doing it healthy and not just turning yourself into a piece of human jerky. Having to add 50? Noooooo thank yoooou. I can understand wanting to take Scourton at face value, but we didn't take Bryce at face value either (and for good reason!). Give the recently posted videos a shot. I watched the one you linked even though I've already seen it, so why not extend the same courtesy? I think you'll find yourself getting more excited about his Purdue tape than you will being irritated by what you believe are false narratives being pushed. 😄
    • I think Ottawa and Edmonton force game 7.  Although I feel stronger about Toronto failing than I do about Edmonton getting it done again.
