The redshirt list provides little inspiration, and the true frosh are...... true frosh, going to be another long year on D. Hopefully some of the freshmen start to really help 2 years from now.

Morris & staff did a nice job in 2015 with a short recruiting season but if they keep this bunch together, the 2016 class will be the one eventually credited for turning SMU football around. This year's defense has improved and their effort has been great, but like Morris has said "you either have speed or you end up chasing it". Too often our guys can only watch as opposing players leave them in their wake.

Like David Johnson, the track star with plenty of speed, who gave up the bomb in the 4th when we still had a chance. Argue all you want whether it's coaching, scheme, or brain dead players, but blown coverages and mistakes have more to do with our defensive woes, than simply using speed as an excuse.

Will be tough to sign Badejo with that Notre Dame offer. Also, didn't Clemons play and get hurt? If so, maybe he gets a medical redshirt but I differ to someone who knows more.

it was also pointed out that he had knee surgery after running those times and did not play as a Senior in high school but you left that out

What does that have to do with anything? Almost everyone returns from knee surgeries as good as new these days, that surgery was years ago. And even if he wasn't good as new, that has nothing to do with my point that his blown coverage was either a coaching/scheme/brain dead player mistake, NOT a speed issue.

Your next point?

The kid won the 100 Meters in a prominent national track meet as a Junior and you say he doesn't have speed. Put 2+2 together. He has obvious speed deficiencies now. BTW he was probably the defensive player of the week the prior week. And not everybody recovers from knee injuries that's just stupid

[Stallion]

Stallion Fun Fact while discussing our defensive talent. 4 of our 8 leading tacklers against Temple were in fact WALKONS when they came to SMU. What does that say about June's scholarship players who couldn't beat out walkons

Says who....Dr. Stallion? Way more kids than not, recover just fine from knee injuries today. "BTW he was probably the defensive player of the week the prior".....so that probably means he's not slow, right? Throw out another contradiction please.

He peeks in the backfield and blows his coverage so that is now a speed mistake? Or is that a coaching/scheme/brain dead player mistake?

Next.

Make sure to drop by in about 3 years to admit you don't know jack

Change the subject when you lose the argument. Gotcha.

[Stallion]

This is one argument I'm not going to lose and you are going to look like an idiot in 3 years-that's why I want you to check in after 3 years when the Chad Morris gets finished with this rebuild.

I ignore footballdad so i cant see his posts but I assume he's trashing guys on the team that have 100x more talent than his worthless, sign-holding son?
