GRIZ v. Birds(Larry) in Trees GDT

I swear it seems like Marcus has tripped over his own feet on half of his carries this season.

Really??!!! I actually went back and watched his runs over the past three games. He did trip in game one on a screen pass that was thrown behind him and then again on his first run in game three (today). Every other run was hard nose and well done. Give the kid a break. He is back and should be getting much more opportunities.
He remains their best option. I am baffled why they are spreading it out so much.

I was being hyperbolic, but he's had at least one or two runs every game so far where he just lost his footing. I don't think it's a big deal or an indication that he's not gonna be the guy, but it's just weird to see it happen so much so far this season.

PA guy is earning his Chili’s gift cards with those third down calls.

You should have heard him live. Sounded like he was shredding vocal chords.

Asking - is that a Good Solid win on the road ? Did they get you a good birthday present ?

I said I wanted a 35 point win. I got EXACTLY a 35 point win. :lol: :lol:

Bobby heard you and he said “Happy B Day AZ!!”

GA - looks like 1 & 3 are the same thing. You are worried, yet you have faith. You generate the best posts GA. :shock: :shock: :shock:

I'm worried about what's going to happen when we face a contender. Hopefully everything gets smoothed out. I have faith in this team, I definitely still think we can compete for a title but, if we want to win one, 3 things need improved. 1. Run Blocking 2. WR release and seperation(need toure to come show them how to juke ppl out) 3. The run, period. But that starts with better blocking.

Haha my emotions were all over the place. Mixed feelings. But, yeah they are. I'm partially concerned about the quality of our backs, MK isn't the same and he was by far the best back we had. Really hope he gets healthier and gets back into game shape. Even with a spotty o Line he can make shit happen when 100%. I let my emotions do the posting, alright! Lol. I'm ready to see us play a quality opponent and see what happens.

Beyond the WR separation part of your post, you're wrong about our WRs. Unlike past years, when we relied on 1 to 3 WRs to get most the stats, this team consistently spreads out the distribution.

You're bitching about WR play, yet how many contributed to a good passing game? This year's qbs and wrs are making plays they didn't make last year. The few mistakes are from miscommunication. For only being 3 games into a new qb and for the most part inexperienced WRs, they're doing damn well.
I expected much more inconsistent passing game struggles, the 1st half of this season.

This wr group is deep. Defenses will pay for focusing on any one or 2 wrs. We do have the talent to have multiple big play WRs and or TEs.

You're being overly harsh on the WRs.

Maybe I am. Unknown at this point until we face some quality opponents.

Didn't we play South Dakota who just sh#t pumped Cal Poly who have some new hot shot coach that is going to turn their program around. They scored 35 when they were fortunate to score 7 against us. Griz are for real.
