We are losing some "key" offensive linemen. Cochran and Johnson are gone. Will we be weaker or the same? TBD.
QB play may be about the same given the OL unknowns.
RB play may be the same given the OL unknowns.
DL should be better. Younger guys should develop.
LB will likely take a step back unless Tatum can become a one man wrecking crew.
DBs cannot be anyworse... right? I think some older leadership turnover will do this team some good.
Here is the thing to look at. If we only win 3-4 games with this OL in 2021.... do we really think we win 5+ games next year?
What happens if Collins has 4 years of 4 or less wins? Do we think year 5 we will suddenly win 9+ games?
Was the goal all along to be at 6 wins by year 5?
Year 5, I wanted to be in the ACC championship and winning 9-11 games. I hoped and prayed Collins was the guy to get us to the level of the Bamas, ugas, Ohio states... but we just don't seem to be developing in some areas. We are recruiting over our heads right now given the product on the field.
I guess I'm asking @Kelly Quinlan do you see this team righting the ship next year given a possible worse Oline? Or are we looking realistically at 2023 for a winning season?
