    I think the dL was affected by the problems at ILB and safety. Could not dial up as much pressure with the inexpenerience/size/athletic ability we had at times at ILb and safety. Pressure creates optimal situations for dl to make big plays too.

    If you can't stop the run, it has a huge cumulative effect on the whole defense. The problems at ILB also affected the passing game, we couldn't get home on blitzes. DB's can look great if the QB is constantly running for his life and getting tagged.

    Depth and experience will be plus for us this year in places other than the DL. I am saying 7 with potential for a 9 if Harris is 100% and the ILB can stop the run.

    Should be pretty solid two-deep at lb with a bunch more size and athleticism in the middle. Should change the flow of the game a bunch if we can stop the run again and get to the qb consistently when blitzing. Anyone know if Rodgers is 100% recovered? From the article it sounds as though Larson is recovered.

    If Connor Kruse is fully recovered from injury, he will be a significant contributor to the Hawk offense. Kid is a monster physically.

    Oh BS. You have 12-14 starters out and NDSU has a much different 2017. We’ll see how often you show your face here after you are looking up at UND again....and you know it’s coming....it always does.

    With Bubba ball the two most important groups are the OL and ILB. If we are significantly better at those positions in 2018 we should have a good season. If those positions are not better it will be another 4-7 or 3-8.
  9. Midwestern Hawk
    I would think all three rfr will be 300 by next season. Kruse already is.
  10. Midwestern Hawk
    IMO this was largely due to some poor recruiting, attrition and injuries at the Ilb position. Lost O'Brien, Poole, Rodgers and Larson and then even Disterhaupt for a few games and did not get Hunt back til half the season was over. Those 5 would have made a world of difference in that category. Hard to beat anyone when you cant stop the run right at you. The rest of the ILB's on roster were not ready or will never be ready.
  11. Midwestern Hawk
    Lots of stuff for Bubba and Co to improve upon, but to me if they get the culture fixed back to 7-9 wins again in 2018, if they don't we are in the midst of a coaching search a year from now. i think if O'brien and Rodgers don't go down to injury we win another 2-3 games in spite of the culture problems in 2017.
  12. Midwestern Hawk
    And UND will never beat NDSU again....blah,blah,blah. Wasn’t that what you were saying about 1990 too? Rocky was flying high and then boom, NDSU was looking up at UND for the next 15 years. Won’t be that many years I’ll be over in Bisonville trolling you. Enjoy it while you can.

    2016 won BSC.

    The style of football Bubba wants to play, the most important positions are OL and ILB. Last year was not good at either position. Run and stop the run.
  15. Midwestern Hawk
    The Grand Forks Narcotics Task Force obtained a search warrant for Mercer and Hunt so the 'real' drug dealers would not be worried about being caught?
  16. Midwestern Hawk
    I would guess there is a large chunk the team that is relieved that something is being done about this mess. I hope nobody on the here thinks the majority of guys on the team don't have some idea of what has been going on. How motivating is that?
  17. Midwestern Hawk
    That would mean conspiracy, so then you have to ask the question why? Conspiracy against Mercer and Hunt or conspiracy against UND football? Does not add up to me.
  18. Midwestern Hawk
    How would Bubba even know there was a story about Mercer and Hunt?
  19. Midwestern Hawk
    So Bubba, suspended Mercer and Hunt for no reason? just decided he did not want them playing in the last game of the season and the last game of Mercer's career?
  20. Midwestern Hawk
    I said in my post that I thought it was a mighty large coincidence. that is all.
  21. Midwestern Hawk
    Which house? If you mean the two latest guys arrested, no.
  22. Midwestern Hawk
    First raid in May, Keelan Poole residence. Not sure which other players lived with him at the time. http://www.westfargopioneer.com/news/4267585-und-linebacker-suspended-after-marijuana-cocaine-charges 2nd raid in October, Andre Randolph and Demon Taylor arrested., other players living in same residence not arrested. http://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/football/4339564-two-und-football-players-face-drug-charges 3rd raid in November, Torrey Hunt and Demun Mercer suspended. No known charges. 3 raids, 3 arrests, 3 players kicked off, 2 suspensions. Here is the latest arrest of 2 UND students who are NOT football players caught with what appears to be a brand new shipment of product. http://www.fox9.com/news/2-und-students-arrested-after-police-seize-drugs-cash-rifle

    Do you think at some point in all of this taht Bubba and the investigators may have touched base and gave him a heads up on exactly what has been going on? Remember the first two raids netted drugs and scales. This last part is purely hunch on my part, but GF just had the biggest seizure in years. 2 college students, I find it hard to believe it is all coincidence. Again the last part I s purely connecting dots on my part, but those boys have been under surveillance for awhile too and the timing was perfect.
  24. Midwestern Hawk
    That would infer that Hunt and Mercer were “innocent”. Contrary to great whites earlier statement the search warrant was issued from surveillance for multiple players for multiple days. How many more arrests for dealing do you think Bubba and the staff can survive before Kennedy says enough.

    Who has lost trust and why?
