[QUOTE="Guru13, post: 4350975, member: 8366"] I would like to point that RE2.0 did not retain a lot of the guys that were starters when he cleaned house and replaced them with a lot of freshmen instead of hitting the portal and finding grown men like [USER=8598]@glastonbury50[/USER] stated. If you look at the roster now compared to 2019/21. We’re much more older, improved. The biggest downfall I believe we’ve had is the quarterback position where there is only 1 scholly quarterback from RE2.0. This is much more concerning because Steven isn’t going to be a starter at Georgia State till next year I believe, unless he balls out at camp. Jack Z went to FCS Merrimack. So now we have uncertainty at the QB like we’ve always had since RE2.0, but I like the roster of qb’s we have and believe they’re better than RE2.0. Another thing I want to point out, we had no fluid system for our qbs. Bringing Noel Mazzone, exposed how flawed our offensive system was, reason I say this is because we had no system for any of our QBs to succeed in except Mazzone tailoring our offense around who we had on the O-Line and to Tyler.P strengths. No wonder Lashlee did much better with Pindell at Q. Maybe just maybe a lot of the fault isn’t on the O-Line, I’m not sure what Edsalls philosophy on the O-Line was, but O-line was a weakness but they played their best games with Tyler at helm and I wonder if it’s because of the scheme change. One interesting thing if anyone notice was how they switched out Dylan N for Nyadu on the left side the first game Tyler started m. Nyadu is much more quicker on his feet than Dylan was, and he pulls really well and would be downhill on the second level a lot more quicker which was something I didn’t see out of Dylan N. LT, I think RVD gave it all he had, he wasn’t as quick but he had his moments when it came to 1on1 match up’s. One particular game that I believe he balled out was against Wyoming but against Clemson that was his worst game of his career and reminded me of his freshmen year. RG… not much need to be said Haynes is a very solid mauler and can hold his own. LT and RT is going to be a wildcard position this year because we aren’t sure if Chase will be back and if he is, there is going to be 4-way battle between Chase-Fortin-Brown and maybe a freshmen. LT Valentine is going to have a good year I anticipate, during the Spring game him he held his own, but of course we gotta wait and see till the season start. Center is immediately an upgrade, RE2.0 bringing in Walker was an alright move, but as a backup not a starter. I partially blame half of the sacks giving up by the team on him simply because he could not hold his own weight when it came to 1 on 1 matchups and at times you could tell the o-line were confused on the blocking play because he calls the direction and which way to pull on the o-line. Some games will see a defender just blow right past the o-line untouched almost as if the defender was a ghost. Guidone should be an upgrade and I think he will get the job done. Other than that, the WR group seems to be huge positive this year and we have a solid red zone target this year, whoever is the Qb, is gonna have tons of options on the Field, we just need that one WR that defenses will key on. RB is going to be a fun position to watch, I liked Mensah his first three years but I like Nate better just because he is much quicker, has change of direction, and is faster. Will Knight is going to have a good amount of carries goal-line situation. TE this year, I’m not sure who is going to step up to be the player. I wish Jay Rose had another year of eligibility is all I’m going to say. That’s all I have on the offense for today. [/QUOTE]
