Game info needed

DeepGreen · October 10, 2005

With hurricane Rita problems the past two weeks, I haven't had a chance to view the Troy game. Reading some of the posts it sounds like the defensive line is a little pourous and our pass rush is nile.

If this is correct, can someone tell me if Adam Venegas has been used on the defensive side of the ball. Someone on the board suggested Venegas be used on defense since he had very good credentials in high school on the D side.

If he has not been used, can someone tell me why the coaching staff has not tried Venegas on the D. Is Venegas just another total bust.

The key word in your post was " another" total bust. I'm beginning to believe that this staff is not that great a judge of talent and that we've just been fed hype on at least the last two recruiting classes. I'm tired of being told how " young" this team is since on the O line only the center is a freshman and on the D line Chris Miller has been here for five years, Chapman played a lot last year, and the LB corps are veterans. It's not lack of experience but lack of size, speed, and competitiveness that is killing this team and propelling the program back to where it was five years ago, if not much worse.

I wouldn't call the linebackers veterans just yet. Now next year, with a (hopefully) healthy Early back to go along with Monroe, Holman, Mendoza, Graves, and Nwigwe...then they SHOULD be the best LB group in the conference.
