Sainristil/AJ Henning

Submitted by Matte Kudasai on November 11th, 2020 at 9:53 PM

Sainristil apparently was a terrific defender at the high school level.  He doesn't strike me as having a huge ceiling at WR.  Move him to corner?

WR position is deep and next year it will frankly be overstocked.

The coaches are saying our corners are in a slump...

Is AJ Henning the new Eddie McDoom?  Can he run an actual route?  If not, can he play corner?

I'd like to give Ben Mason a shot at cornerback.   Of course he's way too slow to play the position but heck, he was way too small to play defensive line last year and that didnt seem to bother anybody so why not give him a shot there too?

And either Moody or Nordin should play corner as well.  No team "needs" two placekickers so let's move one to CB.  You know the old saying "if you have two placekickers you have no placekickers" so moving one of them kills two birds with one stone.

Lastly the four (or is it five) headed monster we call a running back rotation is driving me insane.  Pick two of them to carry the rock and move the rest to cornerback.  My thinking is if we have 13, 14 cornerbacks or so on the field somebody is absolutely bound to make a play sooner or later.

Our receivers recruited by Harbaugh have almost all been duds at the college level. So much talent brought in with nico, black, peoples-Jones, mcdoom, crawford, hawkins and none of them made significant impact on the college level. We used to have receivers that would help with huge comebacks. Manningham, Edwards, Avant, Arrington, Bellamy, Breaston, Matthews, odoms, round tree, gallon, Hemingway. Even though we didn’t win them all, they all had huge plays on their careers to help us get back in games we were down. My god just reading these two lists and comparing them to Harbaughs receivers is a joke. Where do Harbaugh recruited receivers fit in to this? It’s laughable.More reason why Harbaugh needs to go. Can’t develop an offense to save his life.

Did you just put Odoms...and Matthews in the same category with Manningham and Edwards?  DPJ will always have his Paul Bunyan pose...you're going to see that most likely for the rest of your life and in every single M/MSU hype video. 

Also I don't know if WR has been the issue as much as QB play.

I don't see anything wrong with Henning.  Hes a freshman that has shown glimpses of being explosive.  I'm actually pretty optimistic about his future.

Why the fuck would we move a top 100 player from WR to corner, when we have a top 100 player in seldon that hasn't even seen the field yet over the trash we are putting on the field?

You guuuuuys chill, it’s all part of Harbaugh’s master plan to make OSU so overconfident that they all get good and wasted the night before our game so he can get his first win, retire that night on an OSU victory, introduce our new head coach Matt Campbell and go coach the NY football Jets.

So you're saying that he's changing his thinking that many wins in a season that features an OSU loss is now not as good as many losses in a season that features an OSU win?  I get it - what's more successful: an 8-1 season, where the L = OSU, or a 1-8 season where the W = OSU?

Poor damn Minnesota...  They just had to get in the way of a perfect OPPOSITE season!
