Quote from: Tecno on November 18, 2025, 05:54:22 AMI want to take from SSK the idea that you don't need a super expensive REC corps. All you need is a super expensive OL and a good RB.
However, SSK has done the dink & dunk for a quite a while, starting under Cody and McAdoo. And I do recall us finding a solution to it in '21-'23. Clog the lanes, don't give the QB all day, get hands up, put LBers in unorthodox, unexpected positions. It is defeatable. Why we forgot how to do all that this season is beyond me. We better figure it out for '26!!
So I like Zach's more balanced attack -- not forcing long balls, but making sure to spread the ball out all over the field.
Did you see Trevor/Mueller? They took only one (ONE!!!) shot the whole game! Unbelievable. But it proves they are the king of dink & dunk.

I wouldn't say he was a traitor, rather, he's a survivor and a winner and his rings prove that.

Quote from: Tecno on November 18, 2025, 05:39:34 AMIf Rand/Vant are coming off ELC then we could very easily cut bait. Neither has wowed anyone, though Rand was doing better in pass pro by year end. Vant was great at LG, but it seems we don't want to go 3 IMP.
We've let IMP 2nd/3rd year guys walk before. Many times. My hunch is 1 or both are gone. Look what a "real" RT can do for a team (see: SSK). I want to see at least 30% more spent on OL than last season.
Lofton was only a bit better than Rand, and if he's always hurt then we probably move on, too. He was always only ever a placeholder anyhow until we found the next Yoshi.
