geaux_sioux Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 Football SID (i.e., myself) Keep up the good work. What type of videos will we be treated to this year? I assume there's no opening drive? Will the my story videos be for all of the seniors? Quote
Sioux Nation Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 I have waited to post until I watched a few practices. I have watched four workouts now. Here are my takes for what they're worth. Agree with the QB statements. Neither one seems to want to separate himself from the pack. They each have their ups and downs. Maybe Saturday's scrimmage will allow one of them to put some distance between himself and the pack. The o-line is a work in progress. They have been moving a few kids around but they are really struggling with exchanges and shotgun snaps at center. Again, agree that this is one area where a solid JUCO would have helped and they didn't get anyone. Running backs have all looked pretty good. Its too bad Jer is so darn short because he is very quick. I really can't say that any one has looked better than the others. The wide receivers have actually impressed me the most given the defections from that group. Some guys on this board are really jumping on Walker's bandwagon. Personally, I think he is good but not heads and tails above anyone else. Maybe just getting hyped because he's a freshman. Honestly, Carr, Young, and McGill have been very solid as well. I love watching Young run block because he really gets after it. I think he and a defensive back got into it during one of the sessions. Carr is very fast and looks to be a nice deep threat. The tight ends looks really solid and are a hard working group. They have to be thrilled that they might actually catch a pass this year. Without too much detail on the defensive side (I am offense biased) I get the feeling we will be MUCH IMPROVED! There is more discipline, better coaching, and a few athletes that should help. The transfer from Kansas looks like a damn beast. Peters may be the odd man out there. It looks like they have been working Hinjosa at nose guard a bit. As I mentioned a few weeks ago, Walker seems to have some issues because he is not suiting up at all (that I saw). I can't predict what the season will be like but I sure like what I am seeing at practice. Night and day from Mussman's debacle. Quote

A couple questions first on the QB situation how does Jake Hanson compare to the other two, possible 3 man race? Also you say our RB look good with this OL, once the OL gets more solid, could we see the running situation we had prior to Muss?? Quote
UND-FB-FAN Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 A couple questions first on the QB situation how does Jake Hanson compare to the other two, possible 3 man race? Also you say our RB look good with this OL, once the OL gets more solid, could we see the running situation we had prior to Muss?? Hanson isn't in it. Too short, too many throwing errors, and mental errors. The RBs are solid this year (no more 160 lb. Miller). Also, I think the OL will be okay once the lineup is found and stabilized. The TEs will have more than a few catches this year; they are heavily emphasized in the short to intermediate passing game. Also, I agree the defense will be much better. There just is more discipline and emphasis on that side of the ball now, but of course the FBS transfers help in the talent department too. Quote

Sounds really good. less than 3 weeks now til all this stuff on paper becomes a reality. Quote
SiouxDini Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 Can't wait to hear from those that are able to attend today's live scrimmage! Quote
Teeder11 Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 The O-line and the running game get in sync finally with Shaugaby reeling off about a 50 yd td run. Quote
Teeder11 Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 Instead of praising the Hogs after Shaugs nice run, Coach Knauf groups them up on the sidelines and gives them a stern talking to, challenging them to compete at an even higher level. I like his style! Quote
Teeder11 Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 Walker with a nice out pattern reception of about 30 yds from Hanson. Quote
Teeder11 Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 Check that. Might have been Studsrud At QB Quote
Teeder11 Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 Pecosky with a 25 yd pitch and run from Mollberg for a TD Quote
Teeder11 Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 Reyes is helping me forget about Kuksa more and more. The guy can flat out crush you across the middle. At least 2 today alone and a near INT. He had two hits that elicited a vocal "oooh" from the crowd. Quote
Teeder11 Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 Mollberg with a beautiful run and throw to his right to find TE Ruhe in corner of the end zone. Put it low where only Ruhe could get it. Ruhe made a diving sliding cTch. Quote
Teeder11 Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 Distrerhaupt with 2 sacks and a goalline stand on the day Quote
Teeder11 Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 DB's are getting off the corners. Dayo with a sack on Bartels. Left ends are struggling a bit. Quote
Teeder11 Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 William James with a safety pick on Bartles Quote
Teeder11 Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 Chris Brown followed up with a pick 6 on Mollberg Quote
sioux24/7 Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 Keep the updates coming Teeder I love them! I like hearing how well the defense is doing. Quote
