I feared this might happen. I expected 0-1 wins this year but people had rediculous expectations coming in. This was going to be a down year. This defense is 1980's bad guys, there was never any reason to think otherwise. There just is not a ton of talent on the defensive side of the ball and we got some linemen on offense that simply shouldnt be playing.
There was no reason to think this defense could stop anyone. We barely have enough linebackers to fill out a D1 team. Way too many recruiting misses defensively.
the problem is, there are a few guys starting on this team that were absolutely god awful last year and prior years...and yet no one could beat them out. There are a couple areas where when the two deeps came out I just shook my head.
Sam isn't a horrible QB but he is never going to be any better than a nice option as a a backup QB at this level, the problem at QB sn't Sam R, it's that no one can beat him out.
There are however, some really really alarming holes at other positions, where quite frankly, it is stunning how poor the talent is and how little development there has been.
I am not ready to give up on CPR, but I am getting worried there are just too many holes and no one to fill them.
