Special Agent
good luck. i thought he had nfl potential. He is taking the 40 year approach. losing a starter out of no where is tough. Cant blame the kid. He graduated and got a job in DC.

Thats what I was thinking. Those 2 are going to be good ones. Does it hurt a little but I think the Oline can over come it. We now will have 4 new starters on the Oline. Tough but with the classes we been getting at the Oline we should be ok.This was rumored for a while. I guess he got a can't miss job offer and went with it. Can't fault the guy. He loved ND was a good ambassador for the school. I think we'll be okay. I hope this gets both Bars and Q Nelson on the field at the same time. Much nastier group IMO going forward.
100% agree, sucks to see him leave but he took the 40 year route. Cant blame the kid. I really wish him luck. Got to have respect.Another thing to respect about his decision, he didn't wait until after spring ball to make it. Now they can get the next man in first team reps and there should be more certainty going into fall. The O-line cohesiveness is probably the second most important element on the team, after the QB.
Joe Schmidt had 0.0% chance of ever making an NFL roster. I think he knows that. I wouldn't use him as an example of people considering whether they'll be able to walk and talk in their 40's-50's if they choose to play pro football.I also saw where Joe Schmidt is not going to even pursue the NFL.
professional baseball is where it is at. No Salary cap, crazy contracts, guaranteed money, longer career, very slim chance of head injuries. The only negative in my mind is a crazy long season but still plenty of downtime.
