Holes to fill

I am glad someone clarified the Bennett rumors. I thought it was a Grady Bennett coaching rumor. Speaking of which, would really like to see Grady be on the GRIZ staff.
 
Maybe you guys should look at Roderick's twitter. Highly doubt he goes to the Griz considering in a tweet part of it said "Missoula clowns."

That was a hockey reference, no?

Roderick rumors are swirling and not just on Egriz. Bennett from Oregon is A HELL NO. He's still at Oregon and doesn't appear ready to leave even though Marcus is the man.

@ HavGrizFan - There's this thing called a "mid-year" transfer...Bennett doesn't have to announce a thing until after the Ducks play in they're BCS Bowl (probably Fiesta)...nor should he! Plus he wouldn't leave school in mid term or semester depending on what Oregon is on...With that said I believe it would be a pretty good chance that he drops-down so he can get more time on the field before his eligibility is up.

Tanner Roderick looks like a great grab, too! I just hope one if not BOTH of these guys come to Missoula. This program is a few solid personnel & coaching adjustments away from being right back where everyone is accustomed to seeing it.

Both of these guys are tremendous athletes and we would be fortunate to get either. Fix the secondary & game management issues and that deep play-off run comes into focus. Pump Your Brakes and try not to be so negative. The Griz will rise again in 2013!

Can't Wait

New papa Bear, I guess I should have been more clear. Google Bryan Bennett and there are like 50 articles where he says after he considered it, he decided not to leave Oregon. So that, plus in all 50 of those articles, there not one single mention of Montana in them, is what I'm basing my thinking that he isn't coming to the Griz on.

Loss to graduation is in place (I think)

Kalekini in for Hendrickson
Counts for Moore
Kirschner for Nguyen
Craig/Richards/Pierson for Hardy
Haynes for Carver
Warren/Naccarato/Walcott for Gratton
Holmes for Harris
Holt for Stuberg

I'd posted a week or so ago the three spots this team needs to find players at, QB, WR, S. And not that the talent is outside of the current ranks, but it's just those three spots I've seen the biggest lapse in this year compared to other more dominant years.

I agree about the needs at QB WR and S. I would add placekicker, additional cornerbacks, and more dominant O-Linemen. The Griz need more DOLA.

notebook: Bobcats went to school to solve Griz running game
November 19, 2012 11:00 pm •

... State coach Rob Ash said his team “went to school” defensively at the end of last season. It had to, especially after a pair of option-oriented running teams handed the Bobcats two humbling, debilitating losses. One of those opponents was rival Montana, who knocked off then-No. 1 MSU 36-10 while rushing for 309 yards in the regular-season finale at Bobcat Stadium in Bozeman.

But in the latest reprisal of their 112-year-old rivalry Saturday, Montana State was much better prepared. And it resulted in the Cats beating the Griz for the second time in three years and winning a share of the Big Sky Conference championship for the third consecutive season.

The second-ranked Bobcats, led by defensive end Caleb Schreibeis, did a number on Montana’s vaunted running game for the better part of a 16-7 victory. MSU limited the Grizzlies to 168 yards on the ground, 74 fewer than their per-game average. After allowing 108 rushing yards in the first quarter, including a 47-yard touchdown by Peter Nguyen, the Bobcats shut down the Griz for just 60 yards the rest of the way.

In a role reversal from the year before, the Bobcats held the Grizzlies to an average of 4.4 yards per carry, nearly a full yard less than their season average. Ash said last year’s Cat-Griz game was “a tough day for us. Montana ran the football and got 36 points. We’re proud of our defense, and that didn’t sit well. So (defensive coordinator Jamie) Marshall went to school on how to stop some of the things Montana did against us that day.

“We’ve been working on stopping zone-read and pin-and-pull and the bubble (screens) and the things that go with this offense. We changed some schemes and worked on it in spring ball. This is not something that just happened this week. We’ve been working to try to stop this offense.”

Schreibeis was dominant. The senior from Billings West played his assignments and was in the right spots all day, piling up 16 tackles, a sack and 1½ tackles for loss. “I kind of knew during practice that I’d have a lot of opportunities for plays,” Schreibeis said. “We were solid on assignments and relentless to the ball. And that’s what we needed to do to win this game, and that’s what we did.” For his effort, Schreibeis was named the Big Sky Conference defensive player of the week Monday. Schreibeis finished the regular season as the league’s sack champion with 12 sacks.

now I know that it is the Borings Snoozette, but they make a valid point that MSU improved their scheme and MSU beat the Griz at the line of scrimmage in 2012. Disregard the Borings Snoozette making numerous inaccurate points (UM did not run much option against MSU in 2011. Also it is misleading to say MSU did a number on UM's rushing game when MSU rushes for only 107 yards on 36 carries versus UM rushes for 168 yards on 38 carries).
 
This is the stupidest comparrison I've read. In 2011 we had a quarterback to run the offense. In 2012 we didn't. Comparing apples to oranges. In 2011 we had a coach and offensive coordinator that knew how to run the offense. In 2012 we had Tim Rosenbach and Delaney. In 2011 we had a healthy Dan Moore. In 2012 we didn't. Face it we had a completely different team in 2011. In 2012 we were a 6 six banger in an 8 cyclinder league.
