Griz Young Guns

[griznative24]

I'm wondering what everyone sees in Eastwood? I'm not dogging the young man at all, but with a 4 yard run being his highest I just don't get the praise. Another post also said he played very well, but the run game overall was terrible. Any insight?

Statistically he only had 9 carries for 15 yards and he had 5 receptions for 19 yards. I was watching more of his physicality, the way he runs downhill and the way he finishes runs. That part was impressive. I think if the O line gets him some holes (I literally don’t remember seeing one opened up except for one when we jumped off sides and he would have gone to the house on that run) you will be impressed. Let’s see what this O line does with Drake and what Eastwood does and then we can revisit.

We were all high on Lee last year too and he only had 4 carries and 4 yards. There were literally no holes.....at all.....zero.

Ok thats fair. I'll have to rewatch the game, had a few too many cola's to make any judgement on run game execution. Lee had a great season last year and I'm hoping the Oline can open up for both of them. Can't wait to see what Calhoun can do if/when he gets back

Good points Hooked
The defensive team speed and setting the edge was great and RJ was solid for his first start.
If you want to see something funny on the game tape go to UNI’s TE going down with a injury in the fourth quarter, the female trainer can’t keep a straight face with acting job.

I was booing at the guy. What a horrible faker.

He looked up, saw he didn’t have the first down, and immediately begin faking. Trainer couldn’t keep a straight face...he’s fist bumping his teammates (with his bad arm, allegedly) on the way off the field...sure wish football could do something about this...

Well, it's not much, but there is an applicable rule: It's called "Delay of Game." We mostly see that called when the play-clock runs out, but the wording of the rule does cover other situations where a team deliberately tries to hold up play. This seemed like a clear case where they should have been assessed a 5-yard penalty.

I think they need to make it a more serious penalty. I would like to see in the final two minutes if you leave the game due to injury that you cannot return unless it goes into OT.

I agree, and like your idea.

But I would like to see it used more generally. How about: An injured (real or fake ) player has to stay out until the next change of possession. Of course, if the injury is real, that provision would be largely irrelevant. But a faker (on offense) would be off the field until his team scored or turned the ball over. On the flip side, a defensive faker would be out until the other team scored or turned the ball over. Of course, that wouldn't stop the use of a "designated faker" ... but that's another story.

I have long advocated for 9,500 lbs winches to be installed on each team's sidelines. During the last 5:00 of each half, injured players facemasks would be immediately hooked to the team's winch and the player whisked away allowing for the expeditious return to football.

As long as Monty doesn't control it, I've seen him in action with mechanical things.

I'm sure we can find an ewu grad to run and maintain the winches, trouble might be finding one that can pass a drug test. :|

I'd avoid MSU grads too, probably use a come-along covered in caca. Which would be ok for their side I guess.

Don't worry about it, gentlemen. We have a law school that teaches its grads how to write excellent liability waivers.
