Facts and subjective information.

[Mavman]

Here are some facts:


Humphrey out after EWU game.

Lost a starting O-lineman, Keintz.

Went into the season without starting RB Knight.

Backup RBs Ostmo, Childs, and Harris have all missed games due to injury.

Starting safety, Robertson, has missed games due to illness.

Sulser has not played since first half of EWU game.

Rensvold has not played.

Demming Twins not on the team.

There are other injuries that have taken players from games, but those stated above are players that have missed at least one full game due to injury, illness, or departure. Other contributors that have missed game time to injury include:

Todd, Babros, Belknap, Forbes, Walker, Flowers, Hicks-Onu.



Subjective information:

Defense gets tired because they are on the field too much. Griz time of possession is killing the defense.

Offense has had more injuries (and Keintz leave) than are sustainable. I know the, "next man up" mentality is one of Haucks go-to phrases, but nobody can run the scheme they want when the starting RB is a true freshman recruited to play WR.

Offensive line has been inconsistent, but not the main problem. Lack of a true RB and QB play has made them look worse than they are.

I have been critical of offensive play calling, but it is also important to keep injuries in mind. This team would be SIGNIFICANTLY different without all the injuries, particularly on offense.

I could not agree more. Next man up is great but at some point you are putting inexperience on the field, with that comes less execution and maybe gameplan change to fit personal.
Cat fans would have to search their roster to tell you who their 5th string RB is. Hopefully this offense continues to improve and gets some pieces back in place.

It's our starting Middle Linebacker.

Who might play a little RB in the Brawl.

Yes, please. The less we have to deal with Ifanse, the better.

 

[Grizzlies1982]

The question is will this defense be able to keep us a float until some offensive players get healthy? If we survive Saturday I believe we have a damn good chance of righting the ship. If we can fumble the ball away 4 times and have 125 yards in penalties and still win with all that’s being said ….shows they have some fight left. Bottom line for me is we have to get by northern colorado without new or re injuries.

Good luck with that, the Fighting McCaffery's are the dirtiest team I have seen this year.

When No Colorado played the cats one of the bears was tossed for targeting. On the same play the same little bugger was attempting to Alligator Roll with the bobcat’s leg. It was blatantly obvious the b@stard was trying to hurt the dude. So I don’t know if the targeting was justified but I was glad he was booted

 

[bigkid]

Interesting fact. Montana gave up 6 first downs because of penalties. Not looking at the stat line but I believe that’s about 1/3 of they’re total. Not to mention 4 turnovers. I’m willing to bet that was a point of emphasis this week at practice and we won’t see those numbers again.
We have to keep those possessions…..

It was going on all game long and I wouldn't expect your guys matchup to be any different. Staying healthy and avoiding retaliating penalties will be your only concern Saturday.

It’s a fun game until you see the first true cheap shot. Then you spend the rest of the game hoping some UNC player doesn’t get any crazy ideas and hurts one of your guys.

I was at that game. When the punt returner took that cheap shot you could feel UNC losing their cool and the Cats became more focused and turned it up.

And that punt was already about the 3rd cheap shot I saw. And many more after.

They have that mentality that they know they're not going to win, but they'll show you how "tough" they are by playing dirty and hoping to knock guys out of games.

I don't cheer for the Griz, and this game is no different, but I'm dead honest when I say I hope you guys come back healthy and don't lose anyone to blatant cheap plays.

Or fans to clipboard incidents?

Or, god forbid, smushed gonads resulting from a dangerous pair of tiny pants?

Really gotta watch out for the tight pants, they’re a game changer. Also, rumor has it Mad Max the OC also likes to chirp the players.

These are ALL valid concerns when taking on those morons. :thumb:

 

[MikeyGriz]

I wonder when they win out who these naysayers are going to be upset with?

If they win out I’ll walk naked from Mo Club to Reds….at some point.

Again? :shock:

Maybe, just maybe, AZ makes bets he knows he will lose, just for the gratification of paying off.
BTW, I agree with him. No way the Griz win out. We have all seen their performance the last couple games.

I agree, the targeting call looked pretty suspect to me, but the guy definitely needed to be booted
