It warms my heart to see some of these DB's leaving, I'm not gonna tell a lie.

I wanna see what some of these young boys got. I wanna see us pluck a few from the portal. Many a teams have shown the kind of turnaround you can have by doing so, and quick! I'm giving Day/Knowles the benefit of the doubt for like one more yr fr.

There was potential on Def side of the ball most of the year but it the ugly overshadowed it at the end of the day. Big time.

I wanna know why Eliano isn't coaching corner's specifically and not just safeties and maybe pitching in with DBs. Can't tell me dude who helped with Sauce cant help some of these mfs win some 1on1s. We can't go from Winfield, Jenkins, Gamble, Ward, Jefe, etc., to this kind of shyt.

@DropTopDoc you over here worried about my thread making privileges yet you can't seem to intervene when your brother here is in dire straits. Don't let him turn into the village drunkard rambling on while living in an abandoned car

The standard is the standard and the defense has been lacking for the last couple of years. Knowles did improve the linebacker play and the defensive line did okay for the most part but the secondary has been inconsistent and it has to stop. Have to work on the fundamentals and technique with the young Bucks this offseason. There should be no reason why teams with less talent than the Buckeyes can play better on the field. These coaches are getting pay a great salary to coach at one of the premier schools in the nation. They need to earn their keep and get these kids up to par, no exceptions.

Luckily, the beginning of the season is perfect for Day to decide who is going to lead the team since the first three games should be easily winnable. Indiana going to give us a fight but we have too much talent and experience to not get pass them. Beside CJ and a few others, we have most of the starters coming back so that should have with the QB transition until we determine a full time starter.

Also, we must destroy those rodents at all cost!!!!! I'm not going back to the Cooper days where we had great teams only to fold to those rat b*stards at the end. Day better get with the fukking program and have those kids ready physically, mentally and emotionally on Nov 25th. They lost their composure back in November and it cost them. Cannot let it happen period.


Go Bucks!!!

You said it all playa...

I just want to add that we are ALWAYS BETTER with a mobile QB.

I love what CJ was able to do for us but in 2022 there is no excuse for not having a CAPABLE dual threat at QB.

As you saw in the playoffs, CJ is mobile, he’s just not a running QB, and we didn’t need him to be one. He’s much more effective moving around the pocket and taking shots down field. Dwayne was less mobile than CJ and that was never a problem. Justin just happens to be one of the more athletically gifted QBs we’ll see as evident by his NFL QB rushing records already. We have too many elite receivers making plays down field to want our QBs to run a lot. That’s the old Urb offense that bogged down in the 2016 playoff run.
