as of 3/12/24 what do you put our o/v at?  After yesterday mine went from 5 to 4.

Lol I don't know. That's the point. Bad poo can happen. But also good poo can happen.

(Sorry for the rant that's coming which is more than you asked for and not aimed at you. Coffee just kicked in).

We are in March. These are the first days of the off-season and we're all freaking out acting like the regular season starts fuggin Sunday.

Last year we had a really bad coaching staff. But at this point last year who knew it would be that bad? Nobody.

We have a new HC. Is it possible that it will be just as bad as last year? Yep. But is it possible it will be better in than last year? Also yep.

Do we know which it will be? Nope. No one does. No one.

I've reached a point where I'm done trying to predict what is going to happen and just put my energy into what I hope will happen and maybe allow myself to be a little naive. Why? Because I'm tired of feeling like crap about this team.

Canales is a guy who I think can turn poo around here. I'm a fan Morgan fan and I feel like he can right some wrongs made by his old friend. Making those corrections can hurt but if we get better in the long run it will be ok.

So how many wins do I think we'll have looking from this point? I don't know and no one does? How many are we capable of? I don't know and no one does.

Why? Because lots of poo can happen in the 6 months before the season starts and then lots of things can happen in the 4 months the season is going on.

We act like we're experts in here but we're all idiots. Ok...maybe that's just me. I'm an idiot. I'm just old and honest enough to know that.

True.  Just sooo many holes. 

Need

2 edge rushers

1 dt

1 ILB

SEVERAL CBS

SAFTEY

Let us revisit this post draft. 🤣🤣🤣

I think you need to double those numbers.  You forgot rotational guys and backups. We need not only starters but backups as well. It's always been that way and hasn't changed one bit.

How many games did we lead in last year?  Zero.  What was the next worse team?  No really, I can't find it.

We were historically bad in many ways.  How often does that happen multiple seasons in a row?  We're all hoping we don't have a repeat.

We're going to have a weak defense.  They will be well coached, but there will be a real lack of talent out there.  We're going to rely on our offensive line, Bryce Young, and the coaching staff to get us to some wins.  If we double our wins, that's still a poo season.  If we triple our wins, it's not a good season at all.  

Either of those scenarios are a sign of real improvement, even though both are pretty poo seasons.  I think we're in that 4 to 6 win area.  I think we'll be competitive, but teams will drive on us at the end because we're going to have a bunch of practice squad guys playing.  When we can get Bryce a chance to come back for the win, he will be pretty good there (he was 2/2 last year).

Thinking we go for a goose egg is very unrealistic.  Though more realistic than us winning the Super Bowl against the Chiefs (good AI laughs there).

Things are just getting started. They weren't going to win shitt with the roster they had. Building up some capital with the moves they made already. The draft and about 40 million for FA after the trades/restructured contracts and cuts, will help alot.

 

Cool your jets and let it play out.

Umm.... what???

Pretty sure he was like 2 out of 7 (at best) in games where we had the ball down 1 score in the last few minutes of a game.

      2024 College Football Thread

      I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game.

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      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. 😄
