Message: [QUOTE="Orangezoo, post: 4521101, member: 237"] Yep. Look at the top 3 producers this year. Not one is elite in the national context yet the reliance on them is significant. Good yes, but as the year has progressed their limitations are evident. This year is different than last year but it's arguable we are still level or a tad worse when you factor strength of schedule and injuries. If we lose Joe and Jesse it leaves Judah and the hope that the youngsters are ready for prime time. So that means roll with it or hit the portal hard. Recent trends show that we won't do a great job with either which only then creates a ground hog day effect of the same questions and concerns then playing out as expected where the zone isn't good enough against the 3, we aren't physical enough on the boards and we struggle to score do to youth and limitations. Wash, rinse, repeat but with a gradual further decline each year unless we schedule even softer. [/QUOTE]
