I'm encouraged by CF's work so far but unless he rebuilds the OLine
with returnees and the portal we are in trouble. I wish we had more former starters from these 2 sources in B'Burg. The impressive recruits we have now from high school will need time to develop.

and having big athletic men there, that's where it starts. OF COURSE, he will focus on the OL.

what is needed to build this team as in OL and DL and will build the team from the inside out which means the trenches and OL and DL.

Have faith. Then man said in his intro presser football is won at the line of scrimmage with 21 -23 year old grown ass men. I paraphrased just a little.

Moore did a helluva job last season and was rewarded for it by his retention. He’ll get some help in the portal no doubt, but considering OL is perhaps the longest term development track I’m optimistic about this groups future. Depth and a QB that’s a threat to complete a forward pass will do a lot to help them.

I think Mr Franklin knows his makeup of the team and had honest conversations with the men upfront what has to has happened in off season. Accept or move on.
Embrace this coach and his evaluation!
Every step he takes there are naysayers like any program .
Remember this offensive line was 3 and 9 this year . Anything will be an improvement and it wasn't all Drone.
Reminds me all the negative Alabama fans yesterday on Finebaun.
Let's enjoy the next 8 months in anticipation of the new season and in September, let the negative birds 🦅 fly.
