Yes, first day of practice - @Teeder11 please save this thread with a camp report or two!!!

Looks like my schedule will allow me to get out there on Tuesday and Friday next week.  Maybe just maybe Friday this week but that is not looking good.  True, this thread is a train wreck.

Just make sure if you do go, you don't report anything positive; that type of news isn't well received here.

All I know is that you have no idea what you’re talking about and are very sensitive.

Your inability to understand an argument is startling. Have a good day and don’t eat too many crayons.

it was your inability to see what i was pointing out that is startling....i think you jumped into the argument about kk's speed (like the guy lurking in the background in good will hunting) without any context and decided to point out that cris carter was in fact a burner back in the day.

Can we all concur that the defense last year was not very good and must improve if this team is going to go any further in the FCS playoffs?

Absolutely we aren't going anywhere without improvement on defense.  And to be honest back in February when Holinka resigned, which was an odd time and I knew we'd just be getting an internal higher and at the time didn't see any transfers coming in......I was pretty pessimistic about our defense being much better this fall.  

However as the months went along, we got two DL transfers that I think will help up front.  Also last year CJ was the only CB with experience, now we have experience at CB.  Fort was hurt last year, Buckner didn't play as he was still picking up the defense etc.  With those guys being able to play more, and perhaps simplifying defense helping I'd think we'd have a little improvement there too.  I think McNeal will step up at LB.  OLB we will see, still a concern.

Based on those things, I do think we should almost for sure be a little better than last year.  How much of a jump in improvement remains to be seen.  Since it's August though, I have my slightly tinted Kelly Green glasses on hoping there is significant improvement.  I don't think we are going to be a top defense, which is the end goal, but hopefully enough improvement to win some more games with our high powered offense.

Dude said “one of the slowest WR in the history of the league”. Use your words.

But … you missed the point. Slow versus slowest doesn’t change the message.

@SiouxBoys G-rated now for you.

Yeah he is. Looking forward to seeing what Elioder can do too. Hoping to see more big plays out of the standard offense (non Trick plays) Still hoping to see some big plays from trick plays too, but hoping Red and Elioder can bring some needed speed and big play capability at the WR position.

Not to mention Dennis!

Can Caden Dennis be the deep threat we have all been wanting?

[UND-FB-FAN]

-I’m excited for this offense. 
-defense has me walking on eggshells. 
-special teams is wildcard, possibly the tie breaker on how this season goes (field goal %, clutch kicks, return game, avoid giving up big returns, blocked punts, etc).

[SiouxFan100]

I think our nose guards will win the day

I had mentioned Red and Elioder in my original post.....that's why he said Dennis. Hopefully all three of those guys provide some explosive plays on offense, not to mention what Bo gives us. Think he took that inside screen against NDSU 60 yards or so.

Nice to get some big chunk plays instead of having to have 12 play a scoring drives all the time. The 12 play scoring drives are also great though too as gives our defense a rest and makes the other offense restless on the sidelines. 

[shep]

Tom Miller reports some other guys are making plays too.

[Wilbur]

So is Q still the short yardage/6 inches from the goal line situation QB?
