I admit, I quit football at the end of middle school. Some people just aren't built for football. I went on to do basketball, track, and cross country. Turned that into a college career.

First of all, I think the GRIZ have a solid defense and am really looking forward to the game in Cheney this year. However, I see the GRIZ defensive rankings as being overinflated due to the relatively weak schedule the griz have played. I also see EWU's low defensive rankings as being driven by a more difficult schedule. The table below shows the Total Offense rankings and Passing Offense rankings of the teams the GRIZ and EWU have played. I sorted the rankings by Total Offense. I do not believe the GRIZ have played a decent passing team yet.

Throw all the stats you want out there. We play who lines up against us and we've been throttling teams the last few weeks. My gut tells me this Montana team is pretty damn good. Could I be wrong....of coarse.
One things for sure: We will know if the Griz are pretenders or contenders after the next 2 games.

Hey, stats and facts aren't allowed or appreciated on this board--unless they support our views. If they don't, they are invalid, cherry-picked, manipulated, etc. The Griz have a great new DC and a great defense. That's just the way it is. Our defense and offense love each other this year, and give each other hugs. Our new defensive scheme works automatically; the DC doesn't even have to call the plays. It just works on its own. If you see our defensive players looking at the sideline, they are not looking for the play from the DC; they are looking at the cheerleaders. This year's Griz D is perhaps the best of all time--even though there are about a half dozen years in the 2000's when the UM defensive stats were much better. Allowing CP to score 42 points this year, was better D than allowing them to score 20 last year. The Griz D shut down MVS and SS in the past 2 weeks. Were not not paying attention? The Griz win over UNI was better than EWU's, because it was only 1 week after they beat Iowa St. and it was on the road. If you add up all those passing ranking numbers for the Griz opponents, the number is bigger than EWU's total. Thus, the Griz must have played better passing teams. The Griz D will shut down the EWU passing game, unless our secondary has cramps.

Tyler is a dream to work with, just ask Kane. I bet his D holds Eastern under 65 on Saturday!
Any takers?

They do now that the pecking order has been established. There was one ugly incident earlier in the year that got physical but I nipped that in the bud and sent Tyler to the booth and kept Kane on the sideline and it is working out like everyone expected. Our defense is about to get real good here any game, its getting better each week

First, I don;t think UNI is even CLOSE to being as bad as their record. But, let's just assume they are as all of the Cats fans and Eagle fans are now saying they were a cupcake for the Griz. If they sucked against the Griz, they sucked in Cheney too. PERIOD! no debating that. They're not overrated one game and then back to being good the next. Again, flatout no debating that. If you're gonna come here and tell us how bad a team the Griz played sucked, than they are the same effing team that the Eags played too.
Secondly, when it's all said and done, a Big Sky bottom feeder is still a Big Sky bottom feeder and Davis is a BOTTOM FEEDER just like Sac. State. I don't give a crap what the stats say. Davis is absolutely terrible. No different than Sac. State. I'll give you Wazzu, much, much better than any team the Griz have played, and obviously so is NDSU. But, Southern Utah vs Northern Colorado is a wash,and the Griz already played Cal Poly and EWU played NAU, also a wash at this point. So IN CONFERENCE, neither EWU or the Griz have been asked to prove a whole lot yet.

I will also say, while I love stats, they don't always tell the entire story. It's pretty easy to look at an eye test too, and the Griz' D passes the eye test, just like the Eastern Washington offense does. It's pretty easy to watch Caleb Kidder and just know he's a monster. Why would anyone even need to look at his stats. Same goes for Josh Buss. Just like it's easy to just watch Cooper Kupp and know he's unstaoppable and the single best player in the FCS. While they're amazing stats, I don't need to look at Cooper Kupp's stats to know how great he is. I can see it with my own two eyes. I don't care who the Griz have or haven't played, their defense is very good. I won't use the words scary good. I hate that MSU invented term, but, it's pretty easy to see how good Montana's defense is. And yes PR, I think Montana's defense was also very, very good last year too. Anyone who isn't blind can see that. Just like anyone who isn't blind can see how good EWU's offense is, and it does not matter that they pile up numbers against the UCD's of the the league. You can just see that they're good. Same goes for the Griz D.
