Re: Five lynch-pin players critical for unexpected success this season.

I have been watching M football since the 70s and have seen very few players in Sainristil's echelon at DB. The chances of Snowden being that good are very slim. Not saying he won't be solid.

I agree with Underwood. I might agree with Nichols or just DE2. Same with DT2; it might not need to be Etta.

I think we have enough depth at DB. I think unexpected success means Buchanan is the real deal. We have heard this but haven't seen this on the field. Marsh can't go it alone.

I think Straehling may end up being pretty important.

Back to the board

- NYT Spelling Bee claims "lynch" isn't a word. Don't try to whitewash our history, assholes.* - By jjwalker August 14, 2026 at 05:12:02 PM
  - Looks like it should be all one word (no hyphen), and can be spelled linchpin or lynchpin. - By Craig August 14, 2026 at 05:16:47 PM
    - I meant the word "lynch" itself. Your post just reminded me of that. Lynch is a word. It's an ugly word, but it's a word. Pretending it isn't because of some triggering bullshit is the worst kind of PC garbage.* - By jjwalker August 14, 2026 at 06:04:11 PM
