Talent wise.
For the first time since I have been a part of this program,(mid 1980's) I think its time to say we have turned that corner,talent wise, on becoming the program we want it to be.
After watching some practices and film, I feel its safe to say that it is obvious that the oulook is good.
The talent level is much better than I have seen in about 30 years.I'm not talking wins and losses-just the overall talent pool of the program.
Hell...I played with guys that wouldnt even make the roster this year.And not that talent means much because I was never highly touted out of HS...but I became someone and realize that talent usually wins.
You guys that know me know what I mean.I was an 8th round draft pick and ended up with a 9 year career in the League. I would like to think I can spot talent.
I guess my point of all this is to let you guys know that the football program is on the rise -talent wise.
I'm excited for the future.
I have seen a major increase in team speed on defense.Along with that has been better coaching and better tackling technique.
Yancy McKnight is the real deal. He's better than some coaches I worked with in my time in the league.That means alot.
His prowess will show in the next few years with the OL and DL..
Chris Klenakis will make them big boys very good. He knows football. He can flat out coach football.
O-Line is very important and he was the right hire.
I could go on and on with reasons why the program is in its best shape in 30 odd years...but you get the picture.
Bottom line is the talent level has increased.
I'm hoping and expecting that means more wins.
