If Craig can't go, it wouldn't be a bad idea to get Knapp some reps. He doesn't look like he's ever going to be big enough to play guard and he's definitely not going to start at tackle going forward.
@ Agree. Right out of the blocks handled it well. I’d like another one addressing coaching/gm changes which frankly have me more concerned. Our Defense and our Depth carried us through and now those guys are gone. Thoughts?
@@David-ic4by ill try and have Ryan send ya a reply on that. In the full episode we did discuss the DC stuff if you wanna check it out. Its under the "Live Section" 12 team playoff review video. Would love if you hut subscribe and helped us grow the show!!
@@David-ic4by in regards to the depth, I think Coogan is the only one that would be considered “mildly concerning.” He had a real chance to at least open the season as a starter, pending Ashton Craig’s health. Bare minimum I think he’d have been first off the bench at LG, C and RG. I think Pendleton had completely fallen out of favor with the staff, and ideally Spindler is more of a swing-type player than a starter. It’s always going to be difficult to keep that player around for a fifth year. With the WRs, both were by all reports incredible teammates and bought in to their roles well. But neither were likely to see significant roles next year. And, again, with them both being fifth year guys, it was going to be difficult to keep them around. With the coaching, it was inevitable Al Golden was going to leave sooner or later. I think he views himself as a better fit at the NFL level. There may be growing pains next year, with him moving on and some of the older players leaving, but you have to know it will be a coveted job. Going back to Elko in 17, Golden’s 3 predecessors as ND dc’s are now P4 head coaches. It’s perhaps the best stepping-stone job in CFB. With Bowden, I think there’s a disconnect between what the ND recruiting beat is saying (this is a massive loss) and what reality is. I’ve seen some rumblings that he didn’t necessarily handle the increase in responsibility he got this season all that well, and I think that bore itself out with how ND’s recruiting class finished. I don’t think it’s a coincidence this was the worst recruiting output of Freeman’s 4 years (1 as D , 3 as HC) and it coincided with Bowden’s promotion last offseason. I think he’ll do well at SC, but I also think ND is going to end up significantly upgrading at that position.
We were playing back ups because of injury these players were not slotted to start in 25 two had degrees and don't want to sit and notget payed it's also riches on the offensive line .....this is how the cookie crumbles now they leave to play
cHaO5 aT nOTr3 dAm3 Give me a friggin break dude. There’s just as many transfers going out as there are going in. Al Golden wasn’t gonna be here forever. And the GMs getting overpaid by USC - all the power to him. Stuff like this in the feed pisses me off

People are leaving who aren't going to start. Most have their degrees with some eligibility left. No issue here
@@bcffloyd yep, Ryan delivers excellent points here

All this is 100% the new normal

@@johncollins9138 yep, Ryan did an excellent job breaking this down in the video! He keeps himself well informed
ND is not in trouble, college football is in chaos
@@kimgroh4987 agreed on that
BINGO !
HEY ...............'' RED '' WHY do you look distracted ???????????
Four offensive linemen in the portal will be a hit to their depth. Offensive linemen are always spraining their ankles, or worse.

Lol depth. The depth is 5 star lambert and 5 star will black. Einstein.
