zvillezip Posted August 6, 2008 Report Posted August 6, 2008 I have been looking over the roster and I am quite impressed with the overall depth and skill of the team. It looks to be quite good at all spots. I have three concerns. QB, WR, and DB. QB - I think Jac will be better than last year. If not, we better be able to run it with the talent we have at the position. I think Rodgers is a year or so away.WR - Andre Jones is a great playmaker, Bowser and Bruce could be good, there are other seniors who should be solid contributors. I am hopefull that this position will hold its own.DB- There is alot of talent. There is not much experience. Lets hope that improved pass rush covers some potential problems in this area.Overall - I think the Zips have more top to bottom talent than they ever have. If QB play and DB's come along, it could be a good season. If either of those areas do not develop then it will be our achilles heel. Quote
Blue & Gold Posted August 6, 2008 Report Posted August 6, 2008 I agree. As I look at our roster I'm truly impressed. I think we've got the talent equivalent of any non-elite Big 10 school. But it will all come down to QB play: if we see the same QB play as we did last year then we'll finish at the bottom of the MAC East; if we receive (much) better QB play then we can win the Motor City Bowl.Last year really opened my eyes as to the true vitality of the QB. Unless you've got Barry Sanders there's just no getting around lousy QB play. Quote
Zipsrifle Posted August 7, 2008 Report Posted August 7, 2008 I think becomming a team, as someone posted before, may also be another huge hurdle. Quote
ZippyAlum Posted August 7, 2008 Report Posted August 7, 2008 It looks like we just added some more depth with another running back. See gozips. Quote
