Did CBJ do much better than CDD?

[jkleno]

In 2012, CDD did not sign a single O-Lineman out of 22 players. However, CBJ only signed 4 O-lineman in 2014 out of 32 players knowing he had to replace an entire O-Line.
(Blair, Mosley, RR, Thomas). I am in no way doubting the recruiting effort and talent of CBJ, but I would think we needed a few more O-lineman.

He did 4 times better.

Well 4>0

Who else should be have signed? Should we have added bodies just to do it?

Lol...this is unreal.

I'm speechless.

Clearly, given the results, he should have recruited better players or more experienced JUCO guys for the position. Or hired a better O-Line coach. Or perhaps all 3.

It seems like it's crazier than usual around here.

Jones needed all 2014 players to provide depth to all positions.

DT, DE, LB, S, CB, TE, etc. CB and S were huge issues. Look at both now. TKJr and Moseley are playing quite a bit. Often times, not hearing a CBs name is a very good thing. Barnett playing well at DE. Weatherd at LB. Etc. Wolf/Helm at TE.

We didn't sign any QBs just to open room.

So while OL was a huge need, we pretty much hemmed up depth issues with just about most if not all position groups with 2014. And I think the staff were hoping that the 3 OL in the 2013 class (Weisman, Kendrick, Sanders) would be worth half a damn but they aren't.

You forgot Robertson, who many of us thought would be on the OL to start with.

If dooley had signed 4 instead of 0 Butch wouldn't be 3-3 this year...

Dooley was much better at catching overthrown passes on the sideline. That's about it.

This pretty much. You have two options bring in true freshmen, very few of which will be able to start and fare well right away. Or go the JUCO route which good linemen are in high demand and short supply there.

It's not a problem that can be fixed right away with just wasting spots on "bodies" to fill out our numbers. We did take possibly five offensive linemen last year if Moseley projects to Oline.

You are unbelievable. I am convinced that you are a troll. I find it odd that no one has punched you in the throat by now.

 

[titansvolsfaninga]

We did recruit Orlando Brown who flipped to OK because of grades. If he was here, I am convinced Blair would be playing right now.

That had to have factored into it greatly. Originally, Robertson was signed as a DL. I hope the new class of 2015 O-lineman are ready to roll immediately. Robertson looks good for being so inexperienced. Not sure why Blair isn't ready to go and not sure if he will be ready in 2015 if we wasn't ready this year. Mosley had some potential.

This sure has the stink of an offseason thread.
