re: Seahawks article on Adams quoting Aranda

quote:

---

Dave Aranda pretty much tell you we recruit stupid players

it certainly explains why we historically have such problems with zone

but the most interesting part of that speech was this:

And then, so like, the other part is. When I’m coming to LSU and I’m looking at ‘hey man, they’re kinda like this, they’re kinda like that.’ And then all of a sudden they’re in the pros and they’re like all-pros and like where’s all that s--- when they were at LSU? Where was all that s---? You know what I mean? Where’s that?

this is something i've always wondered. like with the zone stuff. you can't do that in the NFL, so how are so many of our guys elite at things like that as soon as they get to the NFL? it's mind-blowing (to me and Aranda both, apparently)

*ETA: when i say "you can't do that" i mean play man-only like we're prone to do. i think 2 teams do that in the NFL today (NE and MIA)

The shift to leaving for the NFL was already happening and instead of fighting it Miles embraced it. He started recruiting with the claim that LSU coaches gets players ready for the league in three years. He invited it.

?? % Agree, OC hire by him most likely would’ve been better this year, that’s with Slinger (SE) also being retained but not as play caller.. sorry guys DA was able to dissect those young men, communicate to them for those who wanted to be a teammate first.. I appreciate DA , 2019NC ??
