A Very Concerning Reality

I sort of agree.

I think we had some very quality players at a lot of positions that let our position coaches get lazy on the newer guys. When you've got guys playing consistently decent — and the anticipation they're coming back next season because that's how we typically try to handle things — you maybe don't place as much emphasis on developing your #4-5 receivers or your #3 TE. You don't build up your linemen as much as you should.

This is going to be a rough season, and a lot rougher than what some (including myself) were expecting. I really didn't think Oogei would be that big of a step back (which is his only move), but he has been. Our defenders are a step off. We've got a long way to go before we get competitive.
