smaller in size
less tough looking

:/

just looking through old photos of Martavis Bryant era WRU and Brent Venables defenses before his kids joined the team ... Thise early Dabo teams were SEC Elite looking . they looked like a Nick Saban/Les Miles LSU, a Saban Alabama, and a Kirby peak Georgia

Not sure how this year's team doesn't look like that. Have you seen who we have on the front 7 of the defense??

RB . Gideon Davidson is fine

the OL . mid. not same size as a Georgia OLine but it's. awoke in progress

the WRs are small skills players . that why we don't score in the red zone . no bodies . it's like having 3 RayRay McClouds or 3 Amari Rogers to throw to and no jump ball guys

Its not the front 7 that is the real issue (although i will argue our lbs aren't elite and can be exposed) its the 7 behind them that are nowhere near the same as our championship runs!!!

Our dude as just as big physically generally. We are solid . We are tough even if you don't think we look it. We are huge and tough. Georgia's OL is just massive though and nobody is like that in the nation generally. We are as big everywhere else though.

Do you think the e or 4 yrs of fighting against the NIL system and TP put us in a catch up mode? And are we really catching up?

And if you're at all familiar with Matt Luke you'll know he doesn't go after massive individuals. He never has.

He recruits his kinda guy that has quick feet and can move. He does so for their versatility.

I would reserve judgement on Tom Allan's group until you've seen them play.

I think some will be surprised

We are fortunate to have Dabo as our HC. He had developed a culture at Clemson that has brought in some of the best players in the country. Since 2009 we have won 10 games or more 13 out of 16 seasons playing for the NC 4 consecutive years while becoming the first program to win All 15-0 games winning out 3rd NC. We beat Saban’s Alabama 44-16. We are the only program under HC DS to shutout an Urban Meyer team, OSU. Since 2009 when Dabo became Clemson’s permanent HC he has had 1 losing season 2010 when Clemson finished 6-7. In 2009 and 2023 Clemson finished 9-5 and in 2023 Clemson finished 9-4. Since 2011 with Dabo as HC Clemson has not lost more the 4 games.

Dabo has accomplished more than any other HC in Clemson’s football history. I am excited about Clemson’s future with Dabo leading the way.

There is a lot of excitement about Clemson’s upcoming 2025 season in college ( pay for play ) football. We may possibly be ranked #4 when the season starts.

Yet with all that Dabo and his staff has accomplished, there are some who always seem to find something negative to post about Dabo and his program.

I think Clemson has accomplished so much while battling money schools like Alabama, UGA, OSU, Texas and a few other schools who have the money to go out and buy those talented players, player’s who only care about the $$$$$$$$$.

I posted before NIL and profit share that if there was a drop in Clemson’s program it would be due to outside forces. Take away NIL and all of the other changes in college football especially allowing pay for players plus the ability to transfer multiple times and I believe Dabo may have won another NC.

Dabo could win over the parents who helped to influence their kids to come to Clemson for the Culture Dabo established at Clemson. Once money became a recruiting factor Dabo and Clemson lost their edge in recruiting. Now the parents are as greedy as their kids. They are focusing on the short term success rather than Dabo who focuses on more than money. His program focuses on building a kid into a successful Man after football ends. Some of these goals include education, morals, character and integrity.

We want know the negative effects NIL, Profit Sharing, the TP and the other financial perks these greedy enabled kids are receiving for about 8-12 years. By them then the damage has been done !!!

I am for eliminating scholarships. Let these kids pay their own way instead of allowing them to buy $200K cars, expensive watches, gold chains etc…

i dont know man, georgia and bama are generally big so is ohio state, other than that LSU has alot of little but very good skill players in the NFL....washington qb is small....jefferson and chase both about 6 foot another guy in jacksonville all 3 are smaller than wesco and moore........

as far as Dline and Oline Luke has recruited some huge guys, were pretty big at DL both tall and big......actually only position im a little unsure on his linebacker Sammy may be best in the country but no one has stepped up past him.

You should change your name to Under Armor. Also keep your poasts on the right bored. You belong on the dead chicken spurs up forum. It took a minute to show your coot colors. OR you’re the most negative of all the Nancy’s. Strong evidence to support the latter.

What ? Have you forgotten the Spring game already ?

I'll get you up to speed.

Tristan Smith can jump out the building and he did just that.

He's 6'5" and caught everything that came his way that day.
