People Leaving WaGriz

You didn’t post on this board for months after last November. Why is that? And why return?
Well first of all it's not like I haven't posted between then and now at all. I've added to discussions and I've learned alot about your team.

Now as to your question...I don't think I need to spell it out why I took a little hiatus from coming here. Are you looking for an apology for not being around? OK man. I'm sorry. I'm sorry I left for a little bit. You didn't deserve that.
 
I'm gonna take back what I said several weeks ago about this defense being fixable. It's not, just flat out fucking not. It's now week 11 for god sakes. From last year to this year, there seems to be a complete paradigm shift in how the Griz fundamentally play defense. Can't shed blocks, no pass rush, terrible secondary coverage, bad tackling (it has improved somewhat), and even our run defense is not the greatest. I'm sorry but Hauck needs to make a decision on either Cooper or Tim to run the defense or they both need to step aside for a new DC. Bradford last year was able to fix shit after week 4. This year, we couldn't guard 90 year old grandmas. People love to watch our defense play. The Griz defense is most years has been formidable, not this year. I'm not surprised people left early. If the product sucks, people ain't gonna buy it. What really sucks about this game is the Griz could have WON.

The D is good and played fairly well except for losing receivers in man coverage a few times. Davis has a good offense.

Just gonna have to agree to disagree with most of us on that one. I think everyone who removes their rose colored glasses can see that the defense is just downright bad this year. The same mistakes over and over again. Personnel issues on the d-line are a coaching and recruiting issue. Linebackers who lack the speed to play this defense is a coaching and recruiting issue. Then on the offensive side I don’t know where to begin. We again have no identity, the player rotations make no sense and hurt the productivity of the offense. The offensive line can’t block to save their lives. I watched a series in slow motion yesterday where the entire right side of the line was beat like a drum three plays in a row. Simply could not block UC Davis’s d line. I won’t call for jobs, but I will say that the product on the field this year dropped so dramatically from last year that some serious self scouting needs to take place. Maybe give your best back the bulk of the carries, maybe don’t rotate out your best QB when he’s just starting to heat up….. maybe, just maybe this team isnt any good this year. That’s sometimes the case. Griz struggled against bad teams this year, and lost to one VERY bad team in Weber. They might just be a mediocre team. 🤷‍♂️

This is spot on. The Defense played poorly on Saturday. Bobby, on multiple occasions, stopped our senior captain safety coming off the field because receivers were running uncovered all night. The confusion was obvious.
 
What's really upsetting is all the players from last year who returned to 'finish the job' DIDN'T, or COULDN'T. Kudos to the returning players, but the coaches were not up to the task.
The Grand Forks fiasco was just a prelude of things to come. Two games left, and I don't have much hope either game can be won. This Clown Car Show has worn me out.
To be fair, which players are you referring to? Outside of Edwards and Bergen I don't see many that could've gone elsewhere. This isn't like Gronowski leaving multiple Big Ten offers to stay at SDSU to finish the job... The Griz lost a ton of talent last year on defense...
 
The most success the Griz defense had on Saturday was the self inflicted wounds that put Davis in long yardage situations. Davis cleaned it up in the second half and dominated the game.
Maybe it was a mistake promoting the guy that couldn’t cut it as Idaho states defensive coordinator to the same position for the Griz…. 🤷‍♂️ now we have a shitty Idaho state defense
 
I am just working to catch up to your adult life of ass. Not sure I can catch up. Davis controlled the LOS all game. Davis won inspite of penalties because they are a very good team. That game isn't close if played at Davis.
That’s an opinion and remember, we can’t have opinions here. I think you called that bullshit.
