My view is that we really shouldn't count too much on these guys. I want them to be home run hitters for the football team, but DJ has been around for awhile ( even if the coaches didn't know it), and Goodwin is world class in track. If Spring Practice is not critical to the athlete, tell that to the 85 or so guys sweatin like hogs for 3-4 weeks. In fact, I bet you a cold beverage that Goodwin ain't on the team this fall. Wyatt ain't a track coach, and when his guys show up for hot August practice, he's gonna know who bled and sweat for him the last few months. My point in all of this is the way forward for this team is the measure of the heart, not the the profile.

Based on what actions of Mack? Arrests are public record and I remember seeing his mugshot in AAS the next morning. Mack wasn't the one DWI with pot in the car and he feels as much embarrassment as the player when the headlines come out.

While it's probably more noble to train for the Olympics, bypassing Spring practices for track does make them less committed to football. I don't know how else you can get around that?

I don't think the issues we had at DT (next to Randall) could have been more glaring last year. I don't think we have been that weak up the middle since the Mackovic days. That being said, I think that we will see Dorsey or maybe even Daniels step up and solidify the position. Overall, I think our front 7 will be stronger next year while our secondary will be weaker. It is a lot easier to hide a weak secondary than a weak front seven. While I hated them, the Philly Eagles defenses of the Buddy Ryan era showed this. They had 1 good corner but the rest of their secondary was average at best and they were a dominant defense. The Steelers only have 1 really good player in the secondary IMHO but they had a great defense last year.

Any chance we see Hills move to the secondary given the current logjam at RB with Brown arriving for fall practice?
