[This is me]

Let me say it like this, to start the season we had 35 kids on the roster including Kent Phelps for what reason he was on idk but of the remaining 34 we have lost three impact starters with Lemaster, Howard at center which is critical, and now Charles. Two big in the trench guys and a two way athletic stud. These are major major losses and to try and say let's plug the next guy in he will be as good isn't realistic. Remember Belcher and Kash will be the bulk of year offense now, then those two also have to play defense as well and there will be no shot of those guys coming off for a real breather. The loss of Kent Phelps is a killer in this scenario because with he and Belcher in the backfield at least they could have subbed out before going on defense and actually had a true break. It only my opinion but this will be exposed at Pikeville and Raceland and Lex Christian and Fairview like it was last year.

You may be right. Lets don't give up yet.
