Will YGM have a Hardy breakout year

You can quote from an article where coaches coaching a current player are trying to be encouraging about his ability to accomplish something?

Yeah sure, that's convincing 😕

You might also include a quote about all the progress Matt Corral is making just for good measure.

Corral has made progress, so...

The breakout year is going to belong to this guy. That get off and speed as a stand up pass rusher in a 3-4 is going to drive tackles nuts. Haynes will put up 8+ sacks this year.

 

 

I've always loved Haynes.  He was a monster in college and has only had a positive trajectory here.  

Only problem is that him and Burns on the field together really only works on passing downs.  Early downs, it's tricker--which is why we reached for DJJ and brought in Houston to help set the edge. 

Honestly, I think Houston and Haynes working in the rotation down dependent, opposite Burns could be fine-to-great.  Not to mention, Luvu will also have more wide-9 looks in our penny fronts in an on-ball role.   

We're going deploy 5-1-5 Penny, 4-2-5 Nickel, 3-3-5 Nickel, and 3-4-4 and I just don't see YGM capitalizing here. 

Elsewhere on D, Chinn fits beautifully in N in the penny and nickel looks. Shaq is consistently our off-ball ILB in the 5-1.  Luvu can float around which is huge.  

YGM started every game last season, and I'll need to look it up, but TAFS did a dive into us the other week and mentioned how he was ranked something like 87 of 88 eligible pass rushers for win rate.  It's not looking good.  He had some wins in preseason but he consistently takes bad angles and can't wrap up a play after he's got the clear to do so.

The board has to realize we do not have the optimal defensive roster for the 3-4. 

YGM is better suited for the 4-3 and that's not going to change probably ever.  I see him as a decent backup here, but he may have better success with another team.  He seems like a good guy and teammate so I wish him luck no matter where he plays.

Hardy flashed in year one and two. YGM has been mostly forgettable. 

Hardy was also a gunner on Special Teams right? Or did I dream this?

No he was a gunner in his 2nd year I believe.  He had enough speed and physical talent to do that. 

YGM is not that kind of athlete and I think we would just be better off letting him go to another team when he fit better.  Because it sure ain't here.

I think both of these guys showed had some high level flashes peppered in. YGM hasn’t done that much to give me much confidence he will breakout.  If he stays in the roster I will hope for the best and pull for him.  If not I wish him the best of luck elsewhere.  But it appears to be an uphill battle for him at the moment.  

I agree.  However, some people are late bloomers.  YGM and Henderson give me the feeling that neither loves the game--not based on facts, just a gut.

    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.      
    • I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
