Can’t find it anywhere, pretty sure I read it on the mothership’s site. Oh well, looks like someone must of blinked.
I’m not into Reddit at all. I did a search, found one on Reddit, but the OP’s link to the story that started it was deleted.
But obviously Gundy at 20 years is on the clock.
I would agree. I was a bit off on my prediction for this year myself, particularly when it came to offensive production. Des does, as you say, have to continue to adapt and learn but the biggest thing and still a question of mine, is be able to recruit to fill those coffers of players that are leaving. One thing Napier could do was bring in big boy football talent. We could compete up front on both sides of the ball with anyone with Sauce and Manac etc.. on that line. I'd like to see us bring in Ferrod Gardner and Lorenzo McCaskill types and become a physical defense again.
Look man, you could see the writing on the wall from the beginning. They were obviously the more physical team up front on both sides of the ball. It often took us 8 players to get their QB down. I mean, do you remember the play on 3rd down and long where we stopped him and he somehow wiggled out of the tacklers and gained 10 yards dragging our entire defense with him?
On the other hand, they were single man tackling even guys like Bill and Washington. They set the tone and were not going to let the running game get going. We needed to start by establishing our passing game which has been the case often this year to loosen that front 7 up and then run from it. But we didn't and when we did pass it was mostly underneath stuff. We were going much more vertical earlier in the year and it was working. We just moved away from that recently.
But make no mistake about it, they were the better team last night
