Message: [QUOTE="CU44SE, post: 4601543, member: 2196"] we lost a ton of fringe guys from 2011-2017. What I mean by that is we had a lot of guys with a ton of potential that bolted to the league just before exploding for us. We were always unprepared and playing catch up due to those players taking the jump. Go back and watch those teams, so many fricken athletes and good players. I went back last night and watched a couple games. The difference between those teams and the most recent teams are night and day. Ennis, MCW, Grant, Richardson, Gurrier, Brisett, Hughes, Lydian. All these guys left before we were prepared for them to leave. I’m sure I’m missing a few more. But these talents were not easily replaceable. Especially when we realized and it was too late to recruit backups for these positions. [/QUOTE]
