Duke about to go 4-0, just saying

We've only played cupcakes (outside of NW, which took double OT to win) and almost blew a 3 score lead against one of said cupcakes. I wouldn't be hyping this team yet. Malik is incredibly raw and a more inconsistent thrower than Riley was (which is saying a lot since Riley himself was pretty inconsistent) and I remain completely unsold on the Diaz hire given how much of a trainwreck he was at Miami.

Pretty much where UNC fans were last week. Like yeah, we're winning but it's not exactly confidence inspiring. I just don't understand why our D can show promise very early on before ultimately face planting. Last year, our D played great in the first fame against South Carolina before ultimately showing themselves to be one of the worst in the nation. Same story this year. We played very well in the first game against Minnesota and now the wheels have fallen off again.

100% agreed with those first two sentences. Duke is the exact same right now to my eyes. Even against MTSU today, third play of the game was a 67 yard rushing touchdown where the back was untouched the entire way. Just absolutely gashed. Duke was playing one of the worst teams in FBS. The score looks good and all, but my eyes just aren't buying it. The good start probably means that a 6 win season and bowl game isn't off the table, but ACC play is going to be a LOT tougher. 

With that being said, if Malik stays and develops some, next year could be pretty promising. Just depends on Diaz and if his defense is as good as advertised.

Ward really should have 2 INTs instead of 1 right now.  First pass of the game was pick 6 territory 

The INT he was charged with should be ruled a fumble. He hit the dude right between the numbers - I'm still not entirely sure how that ball popped out.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Can't keep pining for what never happened....but for god sakes, DeJean, Frazier... and we got this dude in a R1 trade up.  The most notable blunder of this era, that's for sure.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.
