“Outstanding service. They were extremely careful delivering the extra large container into our driveway.” -- A. L. GARNER
Let's look back to the 2015 signing class. Those kids just completed their junior seasons in college. The top 10 classes according to Rivals.com were:USC (Best recruits: Iman Marshall, Ronald Jones and some dude named Sam Darnold, who was near the bottom of the Trojans' class and picked the Trojans over Colorado State, Duke and Northwestern.)Alabama (Best recruits: Studs Damien Harris, DaRon Payne, Calvin Ridley and Minkah Fitzpatrick. That's a haul friends.)FSU (Best recruits: Derwin James, Tartarus McFadden, George Campbell.)Clemson (Best recruits: Christian Wilkins, Deon Cain and Ray-Ray McCloud.)Tennessee (Best recruits:Drew Richmond, Kyle Phillips, Khalil McKenzie and Alvin Kamara.) Georgia, Auburn, LSU, THE Ohio State and Texas A&M. Half of those schools have had coaching changes since that signing day. (Clay Helton was named the full-time head coach in November 2015.)Two of the top five had miserably disappointing seasons last year. Yes, three of the four teams in the college football playoff as well. So yes, getting the players is the starting point, but man getting talent and wasting talent will get you fired quickly. LeBron and Cavs debacleThe Cavs are a dumpster fire. LeBron and the Boys had a 21-point lead and got smoked in the second half by a terrible Orlando team. The wheels have come off.LeBron was even asked about waiving his no-trade clause after the game, and he said he would never do that to his teammates. (In truth, we believe LeBron is unwilling to waive that trade clause because of what it would mean down the road. No not to LeBron and future earnings. Rather, LeBron would seemingly be willing to sacrifice the extra millions he could get by resigning with a new team for the assets it would cost his new team in the trade, if that makes sense.) Stink, because we'll ask this: Would Lebron James being willing to waive his no-trade clause be the most interesting thing that could possibly ... (Chattanooga Times Free Press)
You can attribute that to a lot of things," defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins said. "To sum it up in few words as possible, we just aren’t executing. We aren’t doing everything we need to do to get the stops when we need the stops. We’re on the field too long and the longer we’re on the field the more chances the offense has to attack you."Coverage problems have been the chief culprit, allowing offenses to crack open the defense early and set up the running game. One way to help the secondary is to augment a pass rush that showed signs of life against Tom Brady and the rest of the Patriots. "We are just a split second behind on making these big plays, especially up front," Klein said. "We are right there. If you go and break down the tape, our D-line is right there. We just have to do better in the back end of covering — giving them a few extra seconds."New Orleans may also look to expand its blitz packages, trying to create free rushers who can eliminate the time a passer like Brady or Vikings quarterback Sam Bradford — both passers get the ball out very quick — has to find the matchup he wants."We've got to keep looking at creative ways to apply pressure on the quarterback," Saints coach Sean Payton said. "Each week, depending on who we're playing, certainly the clock in that player's head, we've got to continue to look to affect it."Pass rush and blitz packages aside, the Saints defense isn't going to be able to pull itself out of this slump if mental mistakes continue to plague the unit. With that in mind, the Saints veterans say the game preparation has to be better all-around."I don’t want to say it’s extra work. It’s the quality of work," Klein said. "You can sit and watch tape for four or five hours, but if you’re not looking at the right things it’s not gonna do you any good. ... And I don’t want to say individually, but I think collectively as a group getting together with a few guys, if that means the linebackers and the DBs getting together or the whole back seven getting together for an extra 30 minutes, it makes a big difference."New Orleans needs something to make a big difference right away. #ndn-video-player-3.ndn_embedded .ndn_floatContainer { margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 20px; }...
