Shoot!

That was a dumb move. I agree. I think he has more than sat his time for that. I’d rather have someone out there that is dialed up than someone that curls up. SS should not be out there for short yardage or pass blocking. Yes, in comparison AND statistically, Z is our guy.

You’re really stuck on a headbutt, aren’t you?

I agree.

He is tiny. 165, soaking wet. Watch him curl up. If anyone is close, he is down. Yeah, if our o-line gets him a nice hole, he does okay and has speed. Z is 40 pounds heavier and they both ran top speed of 20.7. That’s a no brainer to me. If you are satisfied with “just fine” than that says enough for me to take you seriously.

Not even close. Seidl is tiny. He may have a few good bursts, but not consistent. Leigh has not done much. it really is that big of a deal when we lose the game because they are not running the clock down and pounding it up the middle.

Do we all start a Zeibarth chant to get the damn point across? Hopefully they are reading this. Jerry is coming along nicely. He may need some exposure to these things to learn from mistakes. He hasn’t touched the field in how long? I agree with everything you are saying though.

Agreed.

Exactly.

We did weekly…with Bubba. Bubba 2.0 is here! The hype is over.

Coaches too.

Yep. And by who? The one that hasn’t seen the field since. So sickening. We deserve to lose. Let me know when it’s over.

We work very hard against him. I wish our media would ask the tough questions…

Z is very solid. Very, very poor choice to not let him back out there. The one game they really let him go was NDSU two years ago, and look what happened.

I agree. They never allow him to get going, and then knock him down a peg when he makes a mistake. That was his first fumble of his college career…but, hey, let’s reward very poor behavior and work ethics of others.

Never been impressed with Olson Kirkwood’s choice in who was out was questionable, at best. Seidl out pass blocking in do or die situations. Z should have been utilized much more.

No to K and no to O.

When Schmidt talks about building confidence and believing in players, I can certainly name two offensive-side coaches that should be looked at closely. Definitely played into our struggles. I believe he will make it right. I am excited to see what he can do here.

I see what you are saying, but respectfully disagree to some extent. If recruits see a grassfire and the issues like we are having now, we may not get the caliber of recruits we would like. Let’s say they have offers from UND and a team equivalent but see a larger number than normal of transfers out of UND, chances are they ain’t coming. It also takes away the chance for teammates to really gel when there is a lot of turnover. We may snag one or two diamonds in the rough, but that’s always questionable.

You’re right. It won’t be addressed, which is why a player or staff is posting pictures of the head coach sleeping during meetings. (Much like him chewing on his fingernails on the sideline during the game.) They don’t know what else they can do at this point. The players/staff love to play here and are not taking these things lightly. They all work too hard for this and deserve better. There is no longer a respect/drive to please him, just like he has no respect/drive to lead. Clearly.

New commenter, but longtime follower. I have to say it. Look at the first few games. There was a different vibe for all of the players. They were having fun and looking good. Around that time, there were some “changes” made and the position coach’s demeanors changed. I don’t know exactly what this was, but know of a few things. This came from the top. I saw an immediate shift in the team. Taking all of the confidence and fun out of it for people that have worked their entire lives for this is very upsetting and mentally draining. Bubba just ain’t it. Freuchte is good, but his hands are tied in some cases. (Usually the bad calls.) Nothing to say, positively, about the DC. And, yes, the napping happens frequently.
