That point on Teryl Austin is eye opening for sure and how he is doing well with a great defensive roster where here he was putrid 
with a terrible roster. The drafting of players in different schemes and putting round pegs in square holes and been happening for 
a while now and shows why we at the very least need more scouts and Duke needs to step back and listen to the coaches and what
they want for their scheme more than just drafting talent.


I don't know if Mikey Boy is the GM, he has say, but less than he has in the past which gives me some hope. Duke being such a friend of the
family does make me doubtful of us ever getting a real GM though which sucks. I agree with a lot of what you say here Mickeypoo. I just hope 
that if this Defense keeps playing this terrible we get rid of Lou and Hobby and get one of the top Defensive minds out there like Vrabel or one
of the others to coach up this Defense and put most of our money towards that side of the ball once Ja'Marr is extended.

One could argue the coaches/coordinators should be figuring out how to adjust the gameplan to cater to the talent's strengths and mask their weaknesses, but I agree, talent can only go so far. Changing positions for a college player can also be challenging and take (much) longer than desired.
