I look forward to pointing out your incorrect statements and post. It'll give me something to do. I don't agree that it's fine for people like you to criticize specific players on egriz, and to say they should never play in man defense. That is beyond ridiculous.
Dude, players are criticized publicly by name on both the GFP and colters pod (although they haven’t mentioned Boyd by named yet). On both it has been said that prince ford can’t play man/struggles in man. They’ve said that, I’ve said that, and others who have “played the game” have said that. To suggest that unless you’ve “played the game” at a level that you believe sufficient to have an opinion is what’s ridiculous. Anyone with two eyes can see that ford and Boyd struggle in man coverage.
First, none of those sources said Boyd and Ford should never play man again. You are exaggerating and lying. You are extreme and harsh.
I’ve said nothing inflammatory. I’ve been critical of a couple players and their ability to play man coverage. I won’t be apologizing for that. I’m no keyboard warrior, just a guy with an opinion that doesn’t match yours. In person I’ve got the same unapologetically opinionated personality, and I don’t need to apologize for that either. Go back through my posts and nit pick if you like, I’m here to shoot the shit about Griz football and sometimes have strong opinions, many of which you disagree with, so we can agree to disagree. I don’t come here and attack players as you seem to be insinuating. I said that one player in particular had some struggles and that I had one play in particular in mind that I thought was a “piss poor effort”. That seems to be what has you incensed. Sorry not sorry
FWIW I post on twitter under my real name and don’t pull my punches there either, since none of what I’m saying is particularly inflammatory. You’re making mountains out of molehills here. Do I exaggerate sometimes? Sure. Do I lie? Absolutely not.When called out, you pretend you are only saying someone struggles with man coverage or struggles at times. If that’s all you were saying, no one would be calling you out. Your exaggerations, and denials, are lies, in my view. Did someone ask you to apologize? I didn’t see that. You are the one making a molehill or two into a mountain. Boyd gives up a TD in a tough play, and you say he should never play man coverage. Oh, please.I’ve said nothing inflammatory.

Our secondary is horrible. The problems are both talent and scheme.
No pretending, and no lying, in fact I quoted what I said. I said it was a “piss poor effort” and that he had several “blown plays” by which I meant that him getting beat was what resulted either directly in points or indirectly by extending drives through chunk plays given up. I also asserted that he should “never play man” which I’ll give you is definitely hyperbolic. We’re not writing a thesis paper or writing a submission for publication in a law review here. We can go on and on like this, but I’m not changing my stance, and you’re not changing yours, so we’re both wasting our time arguing with one another.
I don’t put my name on here for everyone to see but will gladly DM you my name and you can look into me if you’d like. I have told you I have not played the game at the collegiate level and was a serviceable high school LB at best
. Thing is, once you know my name and look at my twitter feed, you’ll see my stance there is the same as it is here.Can you two take your pillow fight offline to DM please, good grief.I don’t put my name on here for everyone to see but will gladly DM you my name and you can look into me if you’d like.

If it were up to me this would have ended a while ago. I should just stop responding but god dammit I just can’t
.
I almost asked this before, but do you know the 3 teams left out? There are 129 teams in FCS and I could see them not having UTRGV and New Haven in there because they are brand new.
I don’t. I was just looking at the stat sheet. Didn’t think to look for teams left out
Horrible doesn't seem quite right. I think as a group they've shown quite a bit of talent. I am Kyon is a first team all-conference guy. Stud. Since he went down, Lawler has been really impressive, second in the league in pass break-ups and playing at an all conference level right now. Harper is a terrific player. Has played nickel and corner and locks dudes up. Diezel great in the box, very good tackler. No, not everyone in the secondary is great, but those mentioned above are DUDES. Overall much improved from last year. Now scheme is different, I won't argue that point. But our ones are talented without a doubt.
play at 6:50 mark you mentioned is easily correctable. His eyes were just bad. That's the point of motion is the eye candy. It's really really easy to clean that up.
Needs a lot of work if we're going to win a championship. Like I said in other threads, probably just need to outscore teams.
With that offensive line???
Well as long as we're passing and not trying to run it up the gut with 8 in the box we should do okay. As I also said in other threads.
I don't see that as the path to success.
The fact is. People on egriz and 99% of the public have no idea how complicated the Griz defense is from the back end. Keep in mind we have an NFL safeties coach designing and calling the defense. Yes, we play a lot of man coverage, as we blitz 5-6 guys all the time. The safeties in this defense have tremendous conflict most of the time. Example: they are usually locked up on a slot wr, te or back when it is trips to their side. With this responsibility, they are also responsible for the run part of the RPO game. Imagine yourself with both a tremendous amount of run responsibility and man pass coverage at the same time.
