There are certain players who need to step up. Its starts in the offensive line. There is not one projected starter who has played anywhere near what they can or what we need. That includes Olson, Bunders, Wynn, and Orton. Gjere if cleared to play, needs to be the animal on the right side. He needs to justify the hype when he was recruited. All of the above have had nearly 9 months with Coach Klein. They have size, experience, they need to wantta.
The defensive line as well. Two highly recruited players have taken a spectator approach. Anthony Jacobs and Rasheed Hageman. Neither has reached anywhere near their potential. They and they alone are responsible. While Coach Kill will say no one is entitled to anything, but the unforgivable thing is not even reaching your potenial.
I was thrilled when Beal signed. Finally a highly recruited MLB. He had to sit out a year, but he also had all the time in world to hit the weight room, condition, review film. If he is not a factor in the defense, another highly recruited bust.
Secondary? What ever happened to Michael Carter? Is he actually backpeddling through his career?
The point I am trying to make is that there is untapped talent on the roster.
