Message: [QUOTE="djorange1989, post: 4440508, member: 3508"] I think it's fair to expect us to consistently go bowling. even if that doesn't mean every year, at least 3 out of every 4. Depth will always be an issue, but here is the thing: the offense hasn't had a lot of injuries, obviously Shrader being banged up is big and we believe Sean has been banged up all season. However, the issue on offense is our starting 11 just isn't good beyond the big 3. Our OL is full of upperclassmen and has completely underachieved, our TEs are dismal, our WRs beyond OG3 (and yes, we did lose Jones) stink. that isn't lack of depth, that is lack of recruiting and development. The defense has absolutely been crushed by injuries, the staff has done a good job with depth and development there, we knew a green and smaller than small DL(yes, even by Tony White standards) could be an Achilles Heel, and recently it has been. Basically, they have done a half good job bringing in talent and developing it, what is crazy is the half that is allegedly Dino's strength has been the dismal half. 2018 is the only year the offense has been excellent, otherwise it has been alright to downright awful(mostly the latter). I know Dino isn't getting fired after this season, so I won't even go there, but to me, next year, with the kids we have coming back(hopefully everyone we expect to come back who are valuable do come back) and the chance to upgrade talent via the portal, 7 wins should be the floor next year or we should move on. Purdue is the only tough OOC game(Army can be pesky so we better get the run D fixed) and with BC/Wake/Pitt all coming to the JMA and drawing Va Tech and Ga Tech, 7 wins should not be a crazy ask. Clemson, at NC State, at FSU, at NC are all really tough, but beyond that every game is for the taking. [/QUOTE]
