Chavis is very focused on the types of players he is bring in on defense. Those players fit his scheme to a T but since we have no identity on offense, we recruit like that. Shep is a great guy but he has no business being on this team, neither do half our receivers. If miles wants to pound the ball and pay tough nose football the why in the hell does he recruit these small receivers? We use to have guys that were 6'3 and taller and now we have 1 guy that is 6'3.
Miles needs to decide if he wants to run a peristyle tough nose football type offense or a spread type offense and recruit to that scheme.

We have only one type of offense. A Les miles clusterfrick.. Jimbo said Les influenced his offense and over ruled him often. He fricked with defense for one year and we gave up 50 twice. No chance to develop a qb, do something in rythem

I really don't understand why everyone thinks a taller wr would make a big difference. It can't be the blocking angle because we have some good blocking wrs. What good does size do if the QB doesn't have time to throw or if that big wr drops the ball?

Part of our players for the system problem is that we're dependent on instate kids and the kids we have are the best the state has had to offer the last few years. We've tried recruiting top level tall wrs and have had no luck. We are not gonna stop taking the best the state has to offer because the kids don't fit the perceived system that we run.

Les has made it pretty clear in recruiting that he wants to run a spread type offense with a mobile QB. The problem with that is that we don't have any rbs that fit that style and the fact that we recruit QBs for both systems. Now(if things work lik they should) we'll be looking at a new OC next year that will have different styles of players he wants. Even still, whoever the OC is will be handcuffed by the talent the state produces. Can't take 6'3 kids just because they're 6'3. They have to have talent to go with the height. It's been proven time and time again that smaller receivers can be extremely successful in college football. We need a better scheme to help the talent we have and need the talent to play to their capablity.

Not sure what you're talking about but Shep and Landry are excellent blockers. Who the hell you think the WRs are blocking? DL?
