Time ⏲️ for a GRIZ NATTY run, here's WHY

Offense has excelled and grown all season long, and with a week off, you better believe we'll be at full strength in 2 weeks. Mr. SCHAFER is absolutely destroying dudes in the run game, and our o line is making strides. Our skill guys don't need mention because have BALLED all season.

Defensively, we get LOUD back, and the rest of those banged up should return including Tolbert, Beaner, and Cutler. And again, those nursing nagging injuries will be back *close* to 100%.

Our defense is DIFFERENT with Loud back alone. Lawler's improvement all season will compliment Loud extremely well, and we'll be free'd up to let the backers and griz safety play the run much more aggressively.

The bonus... this staff and team now have a chip on their shoulder the size of the san Andreas fault. They had to watch the cats celebrate on the turf of wa GRIZ, and this staff seems to always propel well after a loss, and this one stung extra deep. The boys will get to go home for turkey day, get rest, heal up mentally and physically, and my guess is they will be READY TO ROLL come Sunday.

Get on board GRIZ NATION, C'MON NOW!! GO GRIZ 💪 💪💪

It's crazy what a difference one guy can make. Loud may have been the ONE guy we couldn't afford to lose on the defense for an extended period. Changed the entire makeup/approach/defensive scheme. Really kind of astounding we still went 11-0 before the brawl.

Totally true. And then to have the true freshman that started to play well go down with his injury, and then Beaner got hurt against ewash.... it was truly the worst possible position group to get tan through the injury gauntlet, and we survived very well. That table is about to turn back in our favor my great sports fans.
 
We're 11-1 and the 3 seed, the 3rd best team after the regular season, let's act like it damnit haha.

Going back and looking at most peoples predictions were 10-2 or 11-1 - so the team has met or exceeded most fans hopes so far. Yes the cat loss hurts but lets not act like the regular season wasn't successful.

The playoff games will be tough, there's no bad teams left, the guys will have to put their best games forward to keep winning - and I'm excited to cheer them on.

Spot on brother man... what a phenomenal regular season it was., and we better damn sure act like we've got the squad to make it HAPPEN. We will face SQUADS from here on out and will have to bring it each game, but I also damn sure know those facing the MONTANA GRIZZLIES will have to bring everything they got, too. 💪💪
 
Loud was on the field doing pre-game warmups with the rest of the team. Fully suited and padded up with a major brace-type contraption on his left shoulder. His range of motion looked only fair and I sure do wonder if he can be effective in pass defense and tackling with a less than full strength left shoulder.
 
....questionable holding call...intercepted pass that was missed that luckily put the
Cats back in the game ...this team should be fired up and ready 2 go
for the playoffs full...
..if were fortunate to play the Cats again with Loud it will be a different defense....Loud will
free up our LB and put intense pressure on the QB's...Bobby needs to pull out all the
stops ...lets get ready 2 rumble!...

Yeah, I personally think people are putting way too much emphasis on him returning. Even if he does, he hasn’t been playing and has to knock some rust off. He could also reinjure himself really easily. As you were saying, I can’t imagine him trying to make an aggressive tackle.
 
The big ticket buy isn't Nashville, it's Bozeman. Are you confident enough to purchase a ticket to the semis in Bozeman?

I think the Griz defense was unfairly criticized on this board after playing a pretty solid game against MSU. I thought the Griz platooned it's defensive front very well. The secondary had its best coverage in weeks, though the best should be in the coming weeks.

Can they do it better in Bozeman? Better than the Griz have done in years, against the best MSU team in four decades?

If Loud is back, which appears to be the case, then we can go back to isolating Loud and Lawler on islands and get aggressive with the Safeties in both the run game and stuff over the middle. There definitely wasn't enough confidence to leave Ford on an island, but now with Loud back, the possibilities could be endless.

Loud was dressed and warming up against MSU, I have no doubt that he will return.

He'll have rust. No doubt. But hes border line elite talent, so its an upgrade to what we've been working with. Hes also been practicing fkr a few weeks now, full participant in position specific drills, not in game plan portion.
