With Rome there is no way of it ending well. i'd rather have hope for change and an upgrade then knowing without a doubt our DL was going to have Rome on it. which honestly i dont think he was going to be playing much next year anyway. not based on some of the things ive heard anyway.

yes there is. he apologized and owned up to his teammates. his teammages/unity council gave him a second chance. that was not a decision made by the coaching staff. he owned up and apologized just to later continue his B.S.

If there are any DT's that are graduated and looking to transfer for one last season Russel Wilson style we need to knock on their door yesterday.

Granted I am not a coach, but I have to think this would be the way to get better. I mean, how does Gregory fit into this defense as it stands right now? I just don't see it. He looks great rushing the QB, but since when does Bo do this regularly?

Little development has happened along the line, now it needs to happen even faster now.

I don't know....

Haha i don't know why that made me laugh

Slightly different dynamic there. Wouldn't expect you to come up with a well thought out example though

We will get a better idea of the impact Kaz is having during the 2013 and 2014 seasons.

Moving forward doesn't make you better this year though. If you want to argue this expedites the development for the younger guys which will pay dividends in the future...I can buy it. This is not a good thing for 2013 though

yes it does. coach kaz is going to give all the younger guys A LOT of chances this spring to step up. if Rome left 5 months from now i'd totally agree with you. the coaches knew this was coming for a long time.

forgive me for what? ive never done anything to you .

the team has no reason to give Rome the benefit of the doubt. He is gone. and like Bo said it was mutual. when he said that he was not just referring to the coaching staff.

I think you both make sensible points.

Ill say this, if a guy needs to go, then get him out here and don't look back. I understand we are extremely young now for 2013, but if something needs to change, then it needs to change. Rome messed up several times and it seems pretty obvious at this point that he is no longer welcome. Team Chemistry does have a roll here, don't forget this.

Bo said he told kids he recruited this cycle to get ready cuz they are playing. We are going to going to see alot of youngsters in 2013. We have a lot of young talent. They are playing earlier than they thought and coach Kaz is going to gettin prove his worth in '13

I'm not arguing that the reasons are justified... I'm arguing that given the reasons and the fact that the coaching staff knew how desperate we were on the DL our recruiting of the DTs this year was atrocious. I like Maurice and Collins, but they'r enot ready made. Neither of them is going to come in and plug the gap. Curry and Valentine look good, but we have no idea how good and Williams and Randle each play on one leg.

Look at our depth: Thad Randle. Kevin Williams. Toby Okuyemi. Jay Guy. Aaron Curry, Vincent Valentine. Maliek Collins. Kevin Maurice.

We have exactly 8 scholarship DTs right now. 2 have bad knees. 2 haven't played a snap and were on scout team THROUGH their rs-so seasons. 2 are redshirt freshmen. 2 are true freshmen.

What looks good about that situation? The fact that we as a staff couldn't pull in one solid JUCO prospect at the DT spot does not bode well for 2013.
