"On paper"...Currently the trending phrase on TD.

Yeah I mean we have no idea how they will mesh together. Excited nonetheless

I mean the team has to gel baw. The team on paper this year was elite, not so much on the field.

“On paper” is a phrase that has been used for decades to describe football scenarios. It’s not new or novel.

BiggaGeauxrilla gets it. Pay attention to what he says. Obviously knows what quality over quantity means. Games are won on the line of scrimmage. We aren’t there yet especially the interior dl.

Tap the brakes

Is that bad? I mean team chemistry is incredibly underrated at how important it is when you did a complete roster overhaul. Not saying we lack coaching for that but any coach would have trouble getting a roster like this hitting on all cylinders immediately. Even Saban would struggle. Just seems unrealistic to think this team will be at the top immediately. As I said in other thread, if they survive the first half of the schedule I could see this team making a run through playoffs because everything should come together more to see a team improve.

Listen, we had no chance with Kelley. Period.!!! we have now become competitive with Texas with Georgia with Alabama with A&M. We may not win the SEC or get in the finals of the college football playoff, but we had absolutely no chance with Kelley.!!! NONE!

It’s what we didn’t get that worries me. Left tackle and a JJ type all star receiver. Lock down corner in man to man coverage opposite of what we have. I see no disrupter in the backfield DT. What we got is a team back with unknown performance of a team. At least we will have 11. Players since LOL star is gone. The good thing is we filled holes and numbers and. Should be 3-4 games better next year with serviceable and possibly outstanding qbs.

I am a lot happier with OL and safety still want a proven Lt tackle. Rub I’m so glad Durham and Berry stayed. A lot happier with QB room. Don’t know how we got three potential stars. Fall practice will be a hoot.
