Thanks.

Did you see the RSS scroller that said they ran into Dismuke at the airport and he said he was coming back?

I would predict that Stille, Williams, Falck, Honas, and Dismuke all return. Just my opinion based on the what I’ve observed and heard about their personalities.

I don’t have a feeling one way or another on Mills but that would obviously be massive if he came back.

Not Confirmed as of yet:
* Jared Bubak (makes literally no difference)
* Marquel Dismuke (safety is super thin, so fine if he's back)
* Matt Farniok (probably better to turn the page)
* Levi Falck (shouldn't make a difference)
* Christian Gaylord (won't make a difference)
* Will Honas (hopefully he does)
* Dedrick Mills (would be nice if he was back, though it probably costs you a young rb or two)
* Ben Stille (can never have too many good DL)
* Deontai Williams (safety is super thin, but the Dismuke-Williams duo is kind of tapped out on it's ceiling, imo)

I can't really argue with any of that. I go back and forth on Stille though for the same reasons as the safeties. He's probably hit his ceiling and its not bad but it's not great. The other side is what you said and particularly at dline there's a mental toughness that comes with age.

What I've heard lines up with this as well

BUT PFF SAYS HE IS BETTER THAN THAT FUCKER FROM Cockeye

I really do think he played solid this year. Particularly the later games. I just don't think he's capable of being great. I think Robinson is. He takes snaps away from Robinson progressing.

Didn't Honas confirm he's coming back?

Get him and Deontai to come back, good to go. The rest can part ways, makes no difference to me.

The DL is getting better and Stille coming back makes little difference in that regard. Ty Rob & Casey Rogers are dudes IMO.

I personally hope Mills leaves. Just so they'll be forced to figure something out in the run game. A come to Jesus type of moment if you will.

Safety has me really worried if both Williams and Dismuke move on.

You are basically looking at Farmer and a combination of NPG or Gifford.

Stille and Honas would be nice to have back, but I feel good with DL and good with youth at ILB.

If we could increase Farniok's foot speed I wouldn't be mad about him coming back. I feel he is too slow and lunges when going against more athletic DTs.

Falk would be ok, but not going to lose sleep if he moves on.

Why? When we can just run the QB 50 times a game?

No, they need to pull their heads out of their ass and figure out the flow of their offense. I really don't think you can win at the level you want if your QB is running it +12 times a game scrambles included.

By the way I meant to talk to you about this.... does Ohio State run any other running play other than mid zone? Seemed like 90% of their rushes were mid zone.

Agreed. Should be viewed as more of a bonus to plug holes than an opportunity to run it back with a team that probably tops out at .500

I haven't paid a ton of attention to what OSU runs. Under UM, they ran a ton of tight zone. I don't think that's changed much under RD.

Jesus, forgot Bubak was even at UNL.....

It's always a bonus to be plugging some holes, Baron. 😎

Waiting anxiously for his decision

How? Dean mentioned him every week as the 4th tight end while Stoll was injured.

Yeeaahhh..... people think I am joking when I say I don’t read anything he writes anymore. I seriously don’t.

Can't say I blame you. You must find other things to do while bored or maybe I just have more spare time on my hands.
