Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 3156579, member: 40"] Do we? Or is that "talent gap" being overblown? I know that this year sucks, but it feels like we are a piece or two away -- not that the entire recruiting strategy is broken. Please note, I'm not saying that depth is entirely where it needs to be. But if both Heckel / Duering hadn't gotten injured, maybe the OL wouldn't have sucked all year, maybe Servais would have been better at LT than Vetterello, etc. These things have a cascade effect. I know it is going to be controversial, but our coaching staff didn't forget how to coach from last year. We have a lot of talent. Honestly, we need the OL to be better. We need improved depth at a couple of key positions. We need more effective QB play. We're probably not all that far off from those things happening -- especially if our play in the second half Saturday was a sign that DeVito / the offense / blocking are turning the corner. [/QUOTE]
