if 2017 means bobby ball s back, he will win it, but if all we do is hunt the big play it will be a long season.

A lot of teams think Jackson has been "solved". Our new O-Line coach has the chance to help him repeat.

Fingers crossed!!!

I must be missing something. I looked and looked, but there aren't any players from LPT listed. Is it a misprint?

 

[KozmasAgain]

Hahaha!!! SUcK fans will tell everyone that. I think Jackson's chances weigh heavily on our offensive line and that could be bad. We will have to see if Bobby ball returns next year.

Our offense this past season posted record numbers. If that's not "Bobby Ball", I don't really care...

And thinking about a Mike Summers coached line in front of Lamar, protecting him and actually opening holes for running backs makes the mind overload with the possibilities next year. Not to mention another off season of BP working with Lamar to perfect his passing skills...
