Make Your Picks: Ragin' Cajuns Football 2016

That's a very true statement. We were spoiled with the OL from the prior few years, having been veterans with massive experience. And Quave getting injured really hammered the unitj... a great lineman and a leader lost. I still felt they looked like a sluggish bunch overall. You make a good point... the OL improving just from a health and some experience gained... with a massive dose of being in shape for the season... might be something to give us some hope.

You will look very slow when you have to think
Where you are supposed to be going and what you are supposed be doing...when the one guy who could tell everyone those things went down... It got bad. They will be in better shape, have played together now and will know what they are doing.

Shelby Christy is an sec transfer and Johnson is a senior who has been here. We have at least 6 more options than last year and if we can't find 1 or 2...well this ride has been fun but it's over. HUD had one of the better offenses for 4 straight years... Basing everything off of last year that was a total nightmare cluster phk is kinda unfair. Outside receivers will never look very good with a bad oline, a QB running for his life and our QB who got the most snaps is now at RB. If our Oline is as good as I think they will be... Those guys you weren't impressed with will start to look a whole lot better.

Again, these are unknowns and that is what I'm basing my projections on. I know where Christy came from but this SEC thing doesn't always translate into any type of domination at the SBC level and Johnson has been either injured or underutilized his entire time here. I do like that he is a senior and likely wants to make this a great year so I am hopeful he will put some nice numbers up but its the WR corp as a whole that I question.

I think that the SBC has gotten better across the board in terms of talent and we no longer have better athletes across the OL and DL than many of the other schools we will face. I think the playing field has gotten more level and we have to excel in areas that HUD has not been able to reach in order to get a great year out of our team. I hope I'm wrong but I just don't see it. I think 6-6 is our ceiling.

Our 2015 Signing class class is prolly one of the most talented classes in a long long time
Many of them will be Rs-Fr and will be the difference makers this season.

We lost 17 starters from 2014 to 2015 we will be much improved this year

I'm think 7-5 with a 3 game swing in any direction

Defenses sure seem to struggle with learning to defend it.

The best way to prepare is have the scout team O play without a football in practice. Everyone do your job stop your assigned man QB, Hand off, pitch.... and don't worry where the ball is just where your assignment is.

Do you know for a fact that our offensive linemen have been working on conditioning throughout the offseason?

Yes, I know that for a fact... As well as the other 100 guys... It's called offseason conditioning program... Seriously...that's what it's called.
