Not JasonB, but I've been to practice a few times. This team would beat Morris' last team by at least 2-3 TDs. That Van Malone defense would stand no chance stopping this offense, and our new defense would be all over that Ben Hicks led offense. They would still score some because of Courtland, Quinn, and Proche, but they wouldn't be able to keep up with what this offense would do to that defense. Our new corners would probably pick off those Ben Hicks lame duck throws at least once, probably twice.

Wow. Morris 2017 team?

QB - Hicks+scrubs - clearly current team in a blowout
RB - Jones/West/Freeman vs Bentley/Siggers/Lavine. Slight edge Morris if you make me pick
TE - Epss and Rao? current team easy
WR - Proche/Sutton/Quinn. Depth is much better now, but you have to give edge to Morris
OL - Current team easy
DL - Lawler, Gentry, Gary, but no depth. I'll take the current group
LB - Moore, Kyrian Mitchell, Jordan williams. Give me Moore, Oregon, and Delano. I'll take now.
CB - Current team easy
S - CLemons was a sophomore and not great yet. I'd take the depth of the team today.
K - Robledo/Sackville. I'll take the unknowns of today over that punting situation.

8-2 current team. The defense, QB, and OL are the big differences.

What would you say if Tanner or Preston finished 2021 with these stats?
