Kruse 6'6" 295.Prine 6'6" 255. Add a few lbs to each? Kruse is a big boy. Wide as a damn door frame. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hambone Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Speaking of size, I saw Rain Slater at the hockey game with (I believe) Tobin, and he made Tobin look tiny in comparison. He is HUGE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustin Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 19 hours ago, the green team said: Here’s a hypothetical question. What will Bubba have to do next year not to be on a hot seat and/or for it to be considered a step forward? I would say a 7+ win season with a playoff appearance would be enough for Bubba’s job to be safe. A step forward would be building off of the 2016, and winning a playoff game, even if it weren’t at home or as a seeded team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Doing some random scrolling through here: http://www.undsports.com//fls/13500/stats/football/2017/TEAMCUME.HTM?DB_OEM_ID=13500#TEAM.IND Santiago was the only punt returner for the season and only returned 11. Total offense? In only 4 games played, Zimmerman was fourth in total offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Continuing with the random stats: The leading tackler was a 200 pound redshirt freshman linebacker. The first DL to show up as a leading tackler? Down the list at number 11. Above that are half LBs and half DBs. This defense is supposed have the LBs making the tackles. Of the 39 guys who made a tackle (defense or special teams) only 13 (yeah, just 1/3) played in all 11 games. Think about that: Guys good enough to be on the field on defense or special teams, only 1 of 3 was there every week (Flowers, Palmborg, Blubaugh, Carter, Shannon, Greely, Cieslak, Wilson, Nevermann, Greer, Holmen, Carr, Santiago). The leading interceptors (with a stunning 2 each) were a LB and a safety. The 300 pound Austin Cieslak came in with 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since that only counts passing and rushing stats, the only other person who you'd maybe expect in front of him would have been Johannesson. 18 minutes ago, The Sicatoka said: Santiago was the only punt returner for the season and only returned 11. Everyone else was instructed to just fair catch it and even that became a challenge at times. Even with that, opposing teams only averaged 36.2 net yards/punt. That is propped up a bit by the 50.3 net average on 7 punts (!!!) by EWU. Without that last game, opponents net put average was 33.9 yards.

Moving to The Valley and against some CAA teams we need lots of bodies in the trenches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see next year as D-Line #1 being the Full Meal Deal. Cieslack, Tank, Bennett followed by the Freshman Fury of Ott, Morris, and Senguin. Could be really good. But without a difference maker at LB and in the secondary, could all be for nothing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some plays Cielslak looks like an NFL guy. Then he disappears for a few games. If he can tap into that level of play consistently he has the ability to wreck an offense by himself. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you were spot on when you said he needs to drop a few lbs this off season. He gets tired and will get hooked or reached Stops playing with his hands He is very athletic for a big guy.
