Big difference preparing all off-season for attrition versus mid-season due to injuries. Stringer was a great player, but Stout and Duck are going to get the new guys in the right place.
If we struggle it will likely be more on loss of coaches.

I agree. Replacing Stringer will be harder to replace than any of the others for the exact reason that you alluded too.ericsaid wrote: ↑Mon Aug 06, 2018 9:26 amAll one needs to do to see how the defense could look at times this season, sans a replacement for Stringer, is to look at the full games and parts of others than Stringer missed.NattyBumppo'sRevenge wrote: ↑Fri Jul 27, 2018 10:32 amIf these were the two breakout players, we are going to be looking at a special season.

Offense: Baer Hunter- Even his name sounds nasty and I think that he will bring that attitude to the position. A coaches son who is smart and will play the right way.
Defense: Austin Exford- With Thomas back this year, it frees up Exford to move into the spot previously occupied by Stringer. No disrespect to the current first teamer, but I think that this role fits Exford and he will get better and better has his reps increase.

I disagree with your point. I understand what your saying but the drop off in production in Stinger's absence is undeniable. The talent of depth was not there. Sure you can argue that the next man up will have had an entire off season to prepare but they had equal time last off season and the first 6 games to understand the role and understand where they are supposed to be as the backup. The next man up mantra failed mightily for us in that position.
I agree with you. I think that he will be a good one. I think this defense will be very good once they get some game reps under their belt.
I am too. Not concerned about the talent available to take over, rather I am more concerned with the frequency of missed assignments that is always prevalent with newcomers. Missed assignments are always going to happen with younger players. But the missed assignments from that position last year were more glaring than others. They will get better with reps.
And I pray that we have a qb in place by then to get the ball distributed.
