[QUOTE="SescIllini, post: 1424673, member: 603681"] Trying not to get so elevated on this win. Minny had their back-up QB who was their version of our QB from last year (Chyce??). Who was a run first QB, with limited running ability and limited throwing ability. That being said every player raised their game, especially the O and D lines. WR need to catch the balls in the bread basket. This leads me to my next point. XMas Wish list- A JUCO/Transfer WR who can stretch the field ala Geromino Allison. Smalling is solid and so are some of the other WR, but we need height/speed. Another Juco/Transfer LB who has all the P5 abilities to go along with the "smarts" See above but for Safeties I think next year we will have the size at the D line to stop the run. We should be deeper and bigger at DT. We already have that on the O line, they just need to get smarter. We should be good at QB (Rivers, Williams) RB (Corbin, Epstein, D Brown, etc...), Punt/PK should be solid again. Our CBs should be improved with Beason, Hobbs. Hopefully we don't lose anybody, likely Olidipo is gone. Roundtree, Gay, Woods, Milan, Carney and others should be a solid core. Possibly a transfer would help on the DT line. Just hoping for no more dumb things from our core players, losing B Williams and the TE hurt. Can't have those setbacks as we try to build. [/QUOTE]
