Post Game: A great Griz weekend

[AZGrizFan]

The future is very bright. 2019 I predict we are in the final four.

Offensively, I agree. But we'd better find some effing defensive backs who are ready to drop into the starting lineup ASAP or our D next year is gonna struggle...

+1 need to pick up a couple drop downs or juco transfers and sign a couple from high school to shore up that secondary. That’s the glaring weakness in this football team. Depth in the secondary is non existent

im excited about our current o/l and our future o/l....i think it was scott a r-freshman who was called for a little excessive play.....pretty unusual for a freshman getting some playing time at end of a game....dola may be around for a while...

Finding capable corners is a challenge at the FBS level. It's even more magnified at the FCS level. I truly think UM needs to consider converting some WRs. With the great depth we have at that position of guys who are FR and Sophs, it makes sense to move a couple of other younger receivers to the defensive side.

They did move one this past off-season (Nash) so they aren't opposed to it. You would assume with the huge number of young WRs we will probably see another position switch or a few of them leave the program.

I am fairly confident that between Cowans, Nash & Egbo we will be ok at DB next year along with Markell. They will be in their 3rd year in the system. I trust those guys way more than a JC signing. Of course, I would never say we don't need more CB recruits or a stud drop down.

 

[AZGrizFan]

Can Lamariel Taylor play CB? Did he play any DB in HS?

Think they have some guy named Sandry also.

Great game, great weekend! Love the nay-sayers with the "well, UND are pretty banged up, and they didn't have their starting QB". So we punished them for the bad luck of injuries by beating them like a gong. And the 2nd stringer could still hand off to their two great running backs and look how that went. These are the same guys who were saying "wait until we have to play Weber on the road" and are now moonwalking like Michael at the Motown 50, saying the Wildcats, are not that good...but wait until we have to play NAU.

I'm not worried about who we play. What I am looking for is two things.

-- are we improving each week?
-- what is the emotional level of this team?

Not only have we improved a great deal, at a number of positions (if not all) versus last year, I think we can all see the improvement week to week. Not only the players, but even the much maligned coaches in how they approach the game each week, and each quarter. We are seeing some adjustments that actually work. If we keep improving each week, I see us easily running the table, and even winning at least one, maybe two in the playoffs. I predicted, and was ridiculed, for projected this team to go at least 6-2 in conference, and 8-3 overall - with our worse being 7-4.

I think this team has truly bought into the team spirit thing this year. We are seeing inspired play, and even with adversity we manage to bounce back from it. As that develops this team is going to keep getting the swagger on, focusing more each week and being confident no matter the obstacle. They have overcome a blowout at Washington, Reese Phillips injury, the EWU 2nd half comeback and being behind on the road at ISU to win. They have even started turning the naysayers on eGriz slightly but for some even a National Championship will not sway their negativity.

The future is very bright. 2019 I predict we are in the final four.

THIS!!!!! 100%

Jensen is up fairly high in FCS passing yardage, and it's total yards, not per game. He'd be up much higher if it were on a per game basis. On the other hand, the Griz were damn fortunate that the D was up to the task in stopping UND after Jensen's 3 first quarter turnovers, and also lucky that UND wasn't very good. Three first quarter turnovers would cause a loss if the team had been playing top half conference teams (unless the D would have also been a shut down D against those games too).

At 1650+ He moved past Von Troxel for 22nd place in all time passing yardage for the Griz already!

Next up is

Tim Kerr 1758 yards - he should pass him next weekend (Saturday, Oct 28).

Another 400 yards in that Weber game....

Ray Brum 2068
Scott Werbelow 2099

By end of year, he should be in 14th place already passing Josh Swogger & Justin Roper......with 3 left!

edit: for all those struggling with understanding the word next

It's going to be hard to increase his passing yardage with a bye.

Who said anything about a bye? I said NEXT weekend, not THIS weekend.

Maybe in your world, not mine. I also specified Weber.

Semantics! I luv it. A common battle ... and source of confusion. To keep myself grounded (because my wife and I go back and forth), I have to tell myself that "this" really means "this coming" weekend, not the "next" on after. :lol:

The wonders of American English -- and why it can be difficult for an immigrant to learn the language.

I'm going to need someone to explain this to me again....
either this weekend or next weekend would be fine

This weekend is this weekend. Next weekend is the Weber game. It's not that complicated.

I wish Hill would have gotten in the game sooner.

God forbid Jensen goes down, and we are left with the extremely cold guy on the bench; let's warm him up a bit.

Hill looked good on his two pass attempts/completions too, drilling them for strikes. So props to him.

I can relate to that. My girlfriend is Colombian, and I'm trying to teach her English. She gets very confused on our grammar.
