The only thing we have more of than talent?.... QUESTIONS!

You know nothing would make me happier than to sit here 

like  "Uncle Jerry" sitting by the fire with an old 

book telling a story about..."Well...everything is gonna

be just perfect!"...but that isn't the case!

Coach Kelly has had 2 seasons!....

Both could'a...would'a...DIDN'T!...

We had 10 win back to back BCS seasons and let'em 

slip right outta our hands like a hundy being palmed

to a defensive end on Lane Ave in Columbus Ohio!

That's on us!....Time to start looking in the mirror and not 

out the window!....

WHY?....

Well let's talk QB!...

We have to get consistent!....Tommy is a winner...and 

is a great kid (when sober!) and won us some games!...

BUT!....He's not gonna take ND to the next level!...

Put him in the Big East...or Big Ten....STUD!...

But when you play the gauntlet that ND faces!....

Not gonna happen!...

QUESTION ONE: QB?...

Moving on....

Can he be GOOD-MAN?

John Goodman has been a mystery to me...

He has HUGE upside...great size....Hands seem good!..

He's fast with a HUGE stride...and chews up a lot 

of field up when he hits full stride...

Now...cut him a bit of slack....
Michael Floyd cast a HUGE shadow!...
This could be the year that he's THE option...

not just AN option!

I've seen this:

Then other times...he's a GHOST!...

First you see him...and BAM!..he disappears!...

If Charlie Weis made Jeff Samardzija a household name 

in one season...can Coach Kelly get Goodman to the NFL

the same way?....We'll get back to that in a min!

QUESTION TWO: Wide Receivers

Then there is this HORRIBLE image!...

Notice the back is turned....?

Stevie Wonder could have made that throw!

We GAVE away two games last year due to poor DB play!

Michigan...who we just ABUSED all over the field...

And?...poor DB play gave us the same knee to the nuts being 

displayed in this picture!...

And Florida State....Poor DB play!...

QUESTION THREE: Corners?

 Fear not my Irish brethren!

From what I'm hearing from little Irish birds....

It's getting right!...

And we should be EXCITED!....

We have HUGE talent at the QB position!

QB?

My pick...

GOLSON

He has the ability to extend plays and not to scramble,

which he's fast and hard to get a hand on, but to find 

the open reciver down field...

And the word around summer training he...

"Puts the ball spot on EVERY TIME...he 

just needs to get all the calls and work on the little

things!"

It's like I tell my employees....
"Is this a brains or balls issue?"

If you don't have the brains?...I'll teach ya!

But if you don't have the balls?...I cant' fix ya!

Everette can ball!...PERIOD!

What will benefit us here is SENIOR Wide Recivers like

Roby Toma...and John Goodman...and

having the best Tight End in the country doesn't hurt!

Now...who's gonna step up and make the 

IMPACT we are looking for?

Davaris Daniels?...I've heard from more than 

one coach that Daniels is "Elite Talent!"

He has the rare combo of size and speed...Showed 

great hands in the spring...and so far is turning heads in 

the off season...

Then?...What?

Davonte Neal?

Ferguson?

Brown?

Russell?

Too much talent for someone not to take the

show over!...

This is like throwing spaghetti against the wall...

SOME OF IT IS GONNA STICK!...

QB and Wide Recivers?...

NO WORRIES!...

This brings me to the Corner position!...

Now notice I said "corner" not "secondary"

My point with this....is...
Slaughter and Motta!...

Our safety position is SOLID!

Coach Kelly took Harrison Smith from a 

gyspy moving from one position to another...

and put his ass into the FIRST ROUND of the
NFL DRAFT!...

Slaugter and Motta have that taken care of!...

Corners?....Who's it gonna be?

Look I think we all know Jackson has skillz!

He's the best open field tackler on the team...and 

speed to burn!...Just ask the Big East Track officals!...

So...who's playing Starsky to his Hutch?

Josh Atkinson!

THIS IS MY WILD CARD PICK!

This kid is LIGHTING in a bottle! 

Fast...hits hard...has great will to win...and 

is damn sure wanting some highlights with the 

last name "ATKINSON" not involving 

a guy making kickoff units look STUPID!

He was all over Tyler Eifert in the spring game 

to the point that he could've told ya what shampoo 

he was using on his Fabio like hair!...

So....Do we have QUESTIONS?...

YEAH!...

Are we developing the ANSWERS?

YOU BET YOUR ASS!...

And come September....Be ready!...

Cause there's a new motto floating around the 

Notre Dame Football team...

WORK HARD/PLAY HARD!...

GO IRISH AND GOD BLESS!...
