Is this your new approach? To say postion X 'should be our best in years' so that you can crush Marrone at the end of the year? Your unrealistic expectation is based on what - a gut feel?
Not to mention that it's basically impossible to look at that (inaccurate) list of DTs and say it's anything close to our best in years. Haney is gone, Sloan will be 2nd year and has never played a down, Crume is 2nd year has only played sparingly, Zian who knows what you get from him. As we learned from Goggins, JUCOs have big adjustments they aren't always ready to play upon arrival.
Now if you say Goggins, Bromley, Boatman, Crume, Welsh, Sloan, Zian at DT, it sounds a lot better. "Best in years"? Depends how many years, but should certainly hold its own.
As for DE, that's just going to be a problem over the course of a season, can't really help that, Chandler's departure is huge. I like Micah, he should be ready to go, but still green. Sharpe has a lot of experience, not sure how well people think he's played, the dumb things stick out. Simmons may not be ready. JUCO, see above. Can't count on a true freshman to be ready. Which leaves this Bryan Johnson thing that I'm just now getting wind of.
As I look up, I think I just copied RFs edited post, great minds I guess. I started at the last post which is like Cali, except not starting in the middle.
