Thanks.  Wasn't trying to be an ass, but was interested in where you were going with your comment.

It is a different time.  My comment "waxing nostalgic" was in response to the "12 Mighty Orphans" comment.  I don't ever foresee us, nor remember us rotating more than 4 DT's.  These young men that left hadn't cracked the two deep.

Last year, the following men played DT:
Dion Novil (now gone)
Caleb Colvin (now gone)
Enoch Jackson
Roderick Brown
Dayton LeBlanc
Ta'Shoyn Johnson (very limited)
Kourtlin Rousaw (very limited)

That's 7 guys... over 3-deep.    Now that Novil and Colvin are gone, we're still going to need that depth.  Vailea should help there (he couldn't get on the field over Johnson or Rousaw last year though... so I'm not sure he's going to beat them this year.    Last year, with how well Jackson & Brown played, I would say this position is one of strength (probably 2nd strongest position group behind RB).  I certainly wouldn't say that this year.   Starters are strong, for sure.   But behind LeBlanc, the depth is severely lacking here.

Rod Brown had as many TFLs and Sacks in 8 games as a true freshman last season than Abbe did in 14 games as a senior.

We only need so many DTs. If these 3 transfer DL couldn’t crack the 3-deep, why so much concern?

We have fans here that have been Mean Green die hards for longer than I've been alive (40+ years).  That's a ton of awful seasons to endure. We can have discussions about expectations and all, but

The participation report from last year listed our players as DL and didn't differentiate between DT and DE.  The number of DL that played each game were 6, 4, 7, 4, 4, 6, 4, 5, 7, 5, 7, 7, 5.  None of the three that have transferred showed up on this report.

Yeah, but if you're watching, you know who the DL guys are & what spots they play:  1/nose, 3-tech, End, & the Hybrid "Devil" position that I'm fairly certain Passwaters doesn't fully coach (Coach Petrilli mostly coaches those guys from my understanding).   
And again, I understand the dudes who left did not play last year.   That doesn't automatically mean they wouldn't play THIS year.   They, themselves may have wanted a change of scenery, or they could have been told their spot on the totem pole, thought it was low, and left.   We don't know.    What we do know, is that if Novil or Colvin were injured last year, their backups were some studs.    We don't know that this year, and now we're relying on a dude who has virtually zero DL coaching credentials (1 year in the role) to get those backups up to speed.

Well, all we can do now is see how it plays out.  I would also bet Passwaters gets an assist from this new senior analyst.

… at family get-togethers, yeah.  

But Lil Bennett apparently spent his time at Hawaii as an offensive analyst. So, he’s equally under qualified for his current role.

Poor Seth is over the barrel here.   All-in on Bennett saving his job.   Hope he’s ready for Gush to take over in ‘23.

      Javion was my pick as well followed closely by Mitchel, just to see what he could accomplish under a good coach.

      A-Scott Projected to OU

      St. Johns is one of the great sleeping giant jobs in the nation. They have a fantastic basketball history (they haven't been that great for the last generation or so, but the Johnies do have a helluva tradition) going back about 80 years and they play in NYC at MSG.

      Recent Past With all the excitement over Tylor Perry we quickly forgot about the best player from our recent past. The stats and awards bear it out. In my mind the answer is Javion Hamlet. No other player has accomplished what he has. https://meangreensports.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/javion-hamlet/4731 Imagine what he would have accomplished if the 2020 NCAA Tournament had not been cancelled. We won the Conference in 2020 and arguably that was the best team we have ever had.

      Judge orders Florida State, ACC to mediation to settle suit

      A majority of schools could just vote to dissolve the ACC. There would be a court fight, but eventually schools that want out will be released with some greatly reduced financial penalty. It's like a divorce, you can't keep someone in an unhappy relationship, even with a contract. It will happen probably before the end of next year at the pace things are moving.
