Swinney not pleased with final practice before break

pre-season national champs! Listening to these interviews one can come to only one conclusion: our weaknesses are now a strength and our strengths are now off-the-charts phenomenal. There is not a weak link on this team. Top to bottom every player on this roster would be starting anywhere else he would want to go. The armor is complete. On Sept. 1 there will be no team in the universe that could stay on the field with us.

Sit down coots, there's a new pre-season national champ in town.

How did you come to that conclusion from the article?

"Listening to these interviews..."

not sure how tongue-in-cheek the op's being, but he's not just referencing the one article.

Grain of salt. Gotta sell tix. But I find it encouraging.

Historically, Dabo's comments about pre-season player evaluations are overly optimistic, but I'd guess he's pretty sincere about the talent. I find it encouraging-- certainly more so than if his comments were more negative. I'll look forward to Morris's comments since he always seems to tell it like it is.

No matter how talented the new OLs are, I still think it's going to take them time to gel, so 2012 will likely be tough sledding, at least in the first part of the season. (Think Clemson 2008 or Oklahoma 2009, breaking in new O-lines with tons of "skill" players, lofty preseason rankings, and finishing the season out of the Top 25.) I could be wrong. 2013 could be VERY good though.

Exactly. I don't care how much skill/potential we have on


Mar 15, 2012, 2:32 PM

either line, we're going to experience some growing pains. We've also got to break in some new starters in the defensive backfield. I'm optimistic our D will be improved, but to listen to the interviews so far, we're waaaaaaaay better than last year. And I'm not just talking about the difference in a brand-new offense last year vs. having a year in the system. It's the comments about both sides of the ball.

No doubt about it--there will be issues to work out on the line on both sides. There will be a lot of growing up that will have to take place for us to be good. I'd like to hear a little more reservation in some of these comments. That's all I'm saying.

+1 I'm optimistic that we can be good, too, I just don't think we should be claiming any trophies just yet.

Really? So if he came out said we suck some would find a problem with that. The man just can't win

Let me see if I have this straight. According to you, it

has to be one extreme or the other. Awesome reasoning, bro.

No, I am NOT saying we suck or he should say we do. Jeez, I've been called a pumper a whole bunch. You simply can't replace three starters on each line and say you're better than you were last year. That just doesn't make sense.

I do think we can be good. I know we're going to have growing up to do, however. We'll see how fast that growing up happens.

My point is that the comments are practically 100% how everybody has stepped up. Call me a dumper, but I just don't believe you can replace that many starters at the LOS and claim to be ahead of last year. I would hope we're OK at this point and getting better. You can't convince me we're better than last year at this point. Yes, we had a new offense but we also had a lot more experience on the OL. Now we're installing a new defense and we're replacing three starters on the DL.

Maybe I'm nuts, but that tells me there should be a tad more reservation on the post-practice interviews.

Somebody said it eariler this week on another post


Mar 15, 2012, 4:38 PM [ in reply to Re: Exactly. I don't care how much skill/potential we have on ]

this is America, so somebody has to be complaining about something all of the time.

I'm a glass half full type of guy, so even if there is a negative, I like to look at what positives could come from it. We have had to suffer and suck a good bit to receive the changes that have occurred in the program the past few years. Just think if we would have beat USF two years ago. We might not have Chad Morris today. If we would have beat or barely lost to WVU this year, we might not have Venables. It sucks to lose, and sit here while our rivals are tasting success, but I feel as though they will get what they deserve real soon.

How many practices did you attend this spring? Lol . How do you know that Dabo isnt sincere about his opinions, Hes at EVERY practice. Last I checked, Morris would DEFINATLEY call somebody out in heart beat and he had nothing but good things to say. Id hate to have to live with you. Your the type of guy that his kids arent EVER good enough, wife NEVER does anything right and the preacher on Sundays Never has a good sermon. People like you are just bitter people that No One will please.
