Final Spring Game Wrap Up

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

Dont confuse Gregorek, he is still trying to figure out how to hold somebody under 31 points per game. (No Co & MSU dont count)

 

[Liquor up front!]

Watching yesterday, Mr. Nguyen did not look to me as if he is number One. I liked Logwood power much better! I think when Tre Favors and Joey counts are healthy, Mr Nguyen will not be called upon so often. The pass from Gus to Henderson was perfect! If the wind wasn't blowing a Gale, it was a TD! JR Nelson was impressive as was Ty Holmes! I think Mr. Holmes will command double team respect all season. Crittenden played very well also IMO!.

I think Spring out played Nguyen.

Agreed

Who/what is going to get more playing time this fall; Maroonblood or Nguyen?

:laugh:

What about Wyoming? NDSU? Sac State? USD? San Diego? UND? SUU? UCD? Do any of those count? :?

Or maybe these teams in 2013, when he was DC: App State, UND, PSU, UCD, Cal Poly, USD, Weber State or MSU in 2013? Any of those count?

Facts. Pesky facts. :lol:

So I guess your beloved NDSU does count then?

Gregorak was the only DC to hold NDSU to one TD. Held NDSU to its second lowest point total of the season. My recollection, from looking previously, is that only 1 other team held NDSU to one TD, in the last 4 or so years.

Stitt said after the scrimmage that UM would have to use 2 backs for an offense that would run 90-100 plays. He said the backs would be Nguyen and Logwood. It didn't matter who would start, as they would play about equally.

Stop confusing Alpha with facts. Totally not fair.

I''m curious what its going to look like come fall when the whole play book opens up. The way he is using his slot backs reminds me some of Paul Johnson's old flexbone run and shoot option

Gregorek didnt do shit in that game except get ran over for 400 yards rushing.

If NDSU wanted to score 45 they would have but that is not their game, they only score more than their opponents and hold the ball for 40 mins a game like they did against us.

Dont even bother replying because you dont know shit about football.

For the last 6 years NDSU's O-line has looked like that of Nebraska late 60's to early 80's. They are big, strong and fast and have phenomenal footwork. When pulling they hit the hole before the linebackers and rarely miss their assignments. They have been schooled on the fine art of holding without getting called. I expect their new personnel will also play that way in August. I suspect this time our front seven will play better, but NDSU will still get its yards on the ground. Our interior line holds the key.

Last year we had a slim chance to beat a team that thoroughly dominated us on both sides of the ball. This year I hope we have a good chance to beat a team we can match with physical play. If they have the ball 40 minutes again we are in trouble.

 

[statler & waldorf]

NDSU only had the ball for 39:06. It just seemed like 40 min.

Yeah, their offense was stellar inside the red zone.... Our defense played well enough to win the game. The offense wasn't even close. If our D plays just as well this year, with a decent offense, we will win the game.

The defense and Gregorak did very well against NDSU. Especially given the lack of UM offensive production, and the huge TOP advantage to NDSU. NDSU couldn't get in the end zone, though. The defense's stellar play kept UM in the game. Despite NDSU being in control of the game, 2 or so plays the other way would have put UM in position to win.

The first priority of any D is to STOP the run. Everything else flows from that..... 400 plus rushing yards is a f*ckin' lot of yards to give up for a good defense, a bad defense or any kind of defense. Just put the game in your memory banks guys. Arguing about the would of, should of and could of is weak....

Wrong, wrong and wrong you are a liar

Interesting insights and opinions about Gregorak's defense. Are there a few disappointing games the last few years with our defense? No doubt about it. Has the defense improved every year under Gregorak? Sure enough, every season his defenses have gotten better than the previous year. Will this year's defense improve upon last season? I believe it will improve defending the pass, and be able to better control spread offenses and pass heavy teams. My concern is how well can they limit a power running game like NDSU. The keys for the GRIZ to succeed against run heavy offenses will be how much can the GRIZ offense control the ball, and if the GRIZ get a DT fill Takai's role and presence. I feel the GRIZ will defend the edges much better because of solid speed on the line and LB's. Up the middle run defense is what concerns me, which makes the NDSU and Cal Poly huge measuring stick games in every regard, especially for our run defense. I wish we were playing those games later in the season.

The good news is those are the 2 toughest games in terms of style of play that will most likely work against the GRIZ. If the GRIZ do well defensively in those 2 games, I feel we can be confident in our defense rest of the season. Ironically enough, right now the games against EWU, MSU, ISU, and Portland State do not concern me as much as good passing teams may have in the past. I honestly feel very confident in the GRIZ pass defense going into the season.

Alpha and PR, you seem to be on different ends of the pendulum regarding the GRIZ defense under Gregorak, which makes EGRIZ interesting. What do you each feel are the keys for a successful GRIZ defense this season? Alpha, do you feel Gregorak is capable of coordinating a championship caliber defense? If so, how long do you expect it to take him to have that kind of defense? If not, what do you feel will hold him back from having a championship caliber defense? Anyone else, feel free to comment on these questions as well. I ask PR and Alpha because I feel they balance this subject out well. I'm also not sure if Alpha is being negative just to troll, or if he honestly has very little faith in Gregorak as DC?
