We will find out about Chins this year......but the deck is stacked against him.
I think he is a pretty good DC and the players seem to like him, but this year might be too big of a mountain to climb.
The offense is going to probably be spotty at best and I doubt it will develop into something that sustains drives and keeps the defense off the field. Have I mentioned that our ST never seems to help us with field position as well? So, uh...yeah... our defense is gonna have to perform at a pretty high level for a lot of plays and in bad spots if we are gonna have success.
How are we going to do that with the following two problems?
1. No experience or depth at the majority of positions on the DL. Not only did we lose Stille, Daniels, Thomas but a cast of backups as well. How good would it feel to have Pheldarius Payne still on the roster? Both he and Rogers were last year's back ups that had experience and made plays. Add the fact that we play in the Big 10 with their big boy OLs and no amount of Chins scheming might make up for the lack of giant bodies to throw out there. So we will try to bolster the roster with high priced transfers and other teams throwaway/wantaway DL dudes who will have missed spring ball in Lincoln.
2. We are replacing 3 out of 4 spots in the secondary. Newsome is a player but now we will throw out mostly guys with little to no experience on yet another level of the defense. Farmer has experience if you count getting scorched as an experience. We slammed the transfer portal hard but it remains to be seen if that will pay off and spring ball didn't give us much of an indication. I guess we are gonna find out about coach Fisher too.
Basically, if Cockeye were facing these same problems going into the season we would be licking our chops and talking about running up the score on those buttfucks. Chins might pull off a miracle if he can just keep the D serviceable.
