If a team wants to put the plow down on us nothing is stopping them from what I am seeing. As lots have been critical of the 3-4 you need a really high end front 3 to run it.........and be strong at safety. I think we are neither of these 2 things. For any youngsters, "where's the beef!!"

F'n Hawks Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 They have to be looking to add a OLB or safety in the portal right? Because I don’t love where we are at right now. 3 Quote
Sioux94 Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 Is Malachi McNeal going to be one of those younger guys that steps up this year and we see a lot more playing time and production from? Seems like we thought he was a good get in the recruiting process. 2 Quote

Popular Post Wright4UND Posted March 21, 2023 Popular Post Posted March 21, 2023 They added Griffin Jr from Northern Illinois. He is listed as the 2nd NT. He is listed at 305! Hope he can help the team on the interior D Line. Also, safeties not listed due to injuries that will be available for Fall are Sammy Fort and Ethan Ball. Both played last season with Sammy being hurt fairly early last year. Both of these players will add depth and experience to the Safety position. My assumption is that Sammy Fort will be one of the starters. Last comment is that i think the 3-4 does work against most teams in the MVFC but not NDSU. I would love for them to throw in some 4-3 wrinkles vs them. Try something different and make them beat you with the pass. 6 Quote

The Sicatoka Posted March 21, 2023 Posted March 21, 2023 This'll twist some neurons: There's a prominent poster on the NDSU forum advocating NDSU return to ... a 3-4. (The poster in question played LB at NDSU and got a law degree at UND.) Quote
wheelsup Posted March 21, 2023 Posted March 21, 2023 Have there been any decent spring ball updates this year? I always thought Miller had a couple Herald articles and some other folks regularly posted on here. I haven’t seen much of anything but wondering if I missed it. Quote

Sioux94 Posted March 21, 2023 Posted March 21, 2023 Fall of 2021 our 3-4 gave up a total of 280 yards of offense to NDSU and 16 points (3 of which we handed to them by going for it on the 4th down), most teams I think would feel pretty good about that. 223 Net rushing yards, which is a quite a bit....but that's all they did is run...and 50-60 of it came on a late drive in the 4th quarter. I think Homer's point is.....other teams have a 4-3 and NDSU has steam rolled them too. The 3-4 vs 4-3 is a legitimate debate, but bottom line is we need better/bigger players to run the scheme. 3 Quote
forksandspoons Posted March 21, 2023 Posted March 21, 2023 When did they put offers out to summer portal guys last spring? Seems a little quiet on that front. Quote

UND-FB-FAN Posted March 23, 2023 Posted March 23, 2023 not as simple as just changing alignment. UND needs better players, that’s the bottom line. Not only a recruiting issue, but also a development issue. 1 Quote
