I don’t think I realized he only had 1 sack and 8 tackles. Raw indeed. Maybe he’s worth the money but maybe he’s not? You can’t pay out for a kid who’s a question mark.

How the hell would they know…

There’s no replacement for experience. We shouldn’t live in the portal but we are going to need the experience through the portal on defense.

Ruggles was fantastic minus one kick. He doesn’t deserve the reputation he has because of his last kick. Sucks but his 90% hit rate went under the radar. Btw this is a peak off season post.

I’d imagine that means Matthews is back and that they’re going to see what the portal has. Sucks but maybe he didn’t quite have the level to play here.

355? Yeah go get that dude lol

Wondering his success rate from 27 yards?

I agree. We have Pierce too so I don’t think the money is best spent there. According to Birm, OSU has not confirmed there’s a visit and it was the PITT players camp saying that to drum up interest. I’m fascinated with the direction they’ll go. I think players like Grady at DE could make that...

Exactly. Which is why you pay for Koi who had 5 INT as a true freshman and then fell off this year when they changed coordinators and lost skill. Spend money on the guys who have proven it. Chaz would be great but 1 sack is not proof of anything. Much prefer proven guys whether that’s MAC kids...

If we are bringing in corners for visits then this tells me we are going to be super aggressive lol. Not really need but would be a great addition I think. Similar to IGB I think

Indiana knows where they can’t go cheap.

I mean you just have to be smart about it. I keep going back to it but I think a kid like Perich is worth investing in. But maybe somewhere else like Linebacker you can take a chance on an older 5th year guy who’s done well as a starter already for multiple years? Just can’t be loose with...

It’s not a common approach. Not in the least. But it makes sense because there’s for sure a difference in strength from a 23 year old to a 18 year old.

He’s probably not getting that kind of money. But Birm had an interesting take. He thought the way to go was to go get older 5th year guys who have done well at smaller schools. He pointed out how Indiana is living off that and how he watched 23 year old dudes beat up on 18-19 year olds when...

From Ohio, family, etc… as long as the financial is in the ball park it’ll be enough imo.

I have to say. I’d think FG and Punter is about as important as it gets. FG- if you have a guy that’s like Ole Miss’ kicker who’s like 9 of 10 from 50+ yards that’s tough for a defense to know that if they give up 2 first downs they’re giving up points. P- with our defense could you imagine a...

I think from what I understand. We can hire our OC as an analyst. They just wouldn’t be allowed in the road to recruit. What a perfect loophole for an NFL coordinator who has no want to recruit.

Right. Explosiveness is a big part of it. That’s my take as well. It takes a lot of efficiency and executing at a high level to go 12 plays in 8 minutes. Especially vs good teams. Not sure how you fix explosiveness but I’d imagine that’s the calls we make?

Hard to execute vs comparable talent. Thats the name of the game in sports. Just because Steph Curry is good at shooting 3s should he just hang onto the ball until the play clock is up and knock it down? Or would you prefer he just take his shots when he has the chance whether than be 2 seconds...

I again completely agree. Bill Landis said it as much too on that video and I guess I never thought of it but he (and you) are right. This is not a fun offense. There is nothing fun about 35-3 in the second half, the starters are still in, and we are running the clock out. Obviously you do...
