Couldn’t have come at a better time – a lot of these guys are banged up. Dan Fox has been dinged up all year and now we learn, from Kelly, Stephon Tuitt has myriad problems that have been slowing him down.

With the loss of Jarrett Grace the ILB situation needs attention and fast. So what do we have there – Kendall Moore, now a senior and not much going for him, Anthony Rabassa, junior, has almost disappeared. That leaves freshman Michael Deeb 6’2″ 245 just about the same size as Grace. Is he ready? if he looks good I would play him this year for both Fox and Calabrese will be gone next year. The only other option I can see is Ben Councell,junior, OLB that lost his job to Jaylon Smith. So you have 2 weeks to cross train him.

DD, Davaris Daniels WR needs a lot of work running the correct routes. We simply must find a position for Amir Carlisle – give him a few weeks in the slot. Now is also the time for Tarean Folston to get reps as 1st team running back. I love Cam but we really need a back that can run faster and can also catch passes. GAIII is a puzzle – blazing speed but has trouble following his blocks. We also need to get OL Hanratty and Hegarty some playing time.

Now the coaches. ND is the only team that has trouble getting plays in and then we have the comedy of switching plays which the defense just switches with them. This can’t be that hard – Holtz always had 2 plays ready following the play he just sent in. For a good conversation on play calling, check out Irish Sports Daily latest Power Hour.
