Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 1879923, member: 40"] Having to play true frosh on either line is not a formula for success [I recognize that Pickard is a redshirt frosh, but still]. What we have to hope is that next year and for the following three years, that these four guys who are overmatched now are going to be better equipped and turn DE from a liability into a position of strength / depth. I think that Pickard, Newton, Black, and Coleman could form a solid, effective nucleus. They just need to be immersed into a collegiate S&C program and get some game experience under their belts, which they should get this year. And then, of course, we try to recruit over this group in upcoming classes to the best of the staff's abilities. Right now, alarm bells go off every time I look at what we're fielding at DE, but in two years it might be a completely different story. [/QUOTE]
