Sioux_Yeah_Yeah Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Feel free to leave comments about the game when you get back!! I'm stuck at work, then driving home after, and I would love to hear what happens! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenshadow Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 I'm a bit worried about the quarterbacking and the play of the offensive line behind the number ones. I know there is the summer and fall camp to work through some things, but I wasn't overly impressed with some of the decision making by the quarterbacks or somewhat the lack of getting the ball down the field.

UND92,96 Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 I'm a bit worried about the quarterbacking and the play of the offensive line behind the number ones. I know there is the summer and fall camp to work through some things, but I wasn't overly impressed with some of the decision making by the quarterbacks or somewhat the lack of getting the ball down the field. I thought Freund did pretty well. I don't foresee any quarterback controversy, as Freund seems to be the clear number one. It was a little disappointing that there was pretty much no attempt to throw the ball down the field, at least by the first-teamers, but Freund did well with the short passes, particularly to Chappell. Konrath definitely struggled. Part of it was apparently the footing, as the turf seemed to be pretty slick. Weston Dressler didn't play, besides fielding punts. Interestingly, his brother Ryan is also on the team, which I wasn't aware of before today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diggler Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 It was kinda funny watching Weston out there, wearing no pads, fielding punts. Why didn't they just get him a recliner to sit in while he fielded the punts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bincitysioux Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 UND press release on today's spring game. Sounded like Freund was pretty sharp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UND92,96 Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 The following is the 2-deep spring depth chart listed on the program yesterday: QB 1. Freund 2. Konrath RB 1. Chappell 2. Brady FB 1. Sorbo 2. Tibesar WR 1. Trenbeath 2. Rambeck WR 1. Dressler 2. Nicholas TE 1. Grover 2. Ott LT 1. Bauer 2. Mueske LG 1. Troen 2. Hiltner C 1. Braegelmann 2. Koelln RG 1. Moe 2. Keller RT 1. Hoffelt 2. Bondy LE 1. Richter 2. DeMontigny NG 1. Nolte 2. Bakke RE 1. Cadwell 2. White OLB 1. Dombrovski 2. Tescher ILB 1. Meek 2. Miller ILB 1. Holinka 2. German OLB 1. Stroup 2. Bodoh LCB 1. Weigelt 2. Otto RCB 1. Alexander 2. Jordan SS 1. Malner 2. Leith FS 1. Manke 2. Heiser The only big surprise to me was Nate Wayne's omission. He's still listed on the roster, but he's not listed on the 2-deep despite being the number 2 last year behind Wolff. The two apparent early defections I noticed were Dylan Glaser and Adam Ward, both of whom red-shirted last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn-O Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 We have a little way to go.... I know They are Div1 and Not Div1AA.....

star2city Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 I guess Nick Saban was an OK choice. Of course, the honeymoon will be over after the first notch in the L column. The previous record for Alabama was 51,000 in 1988 at Legion Field in Birmingham. The five "Fear the Thumb" victories by Auburn over Alabama is driving Tide fans absolutely nuts. Alabama fans were approaching outright rebellion, so the UA administration spent $8 million to buyout Shula and $4 million annually on Saban and messed up the whole cost structure of college football. Kind of reminiscent of NDSU's response after UND football gained supremacy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twins15 Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 he looked so little out there. and Ryan Dressler is listed as a freshman so could he be an incoming freshman? that would explain why he was not on the roster last year. Just to clear this up, but no, he's not an incoming freshman. He was up here at UND this year. After playing them both in high school (at least in basketball) and watching them in football, I would say Ryan is definitely smaller and not as quick as Weston.

fee_0405 Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 yeah i don't think athletically weston is comparable to ryan, and if you hold him to weston's standard, u will leave disappointed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a question mark because I didn't know. if you look at the spring roster, Ryan is actually listed as an inch taller and a pound heavier. I agree though that you can't compare him to Weston's standards because he is not Weston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dylan Glaser apparently forgot that he also needed to be a student which resulted in very poor grades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UND92,96 Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 What's the view on these inexperienced positions? I think Freund will be fine. Over the years, it seems like quarterbacks who had to wait several years to get their shot (e.g. Wahl, Greenwaldt, Stein and Manke) generally did well, and I didn't see anything in the spring game to suggest Freund won't be successful, as well. I have no idea what kind of cover skills Weigelt has, but he seems to be a very sure tackler. Holinka and Malner both played quite a bit last year, so I'm not worried about either of them. At this point, my biggest concern may be backup quarterback. It's been awhile since we've gone through an entire season with the same quarterback starting all the games, and whether anybody besides Freund is really game-ready is a question.

sucka Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Ryan will be a Soph. in school this fall. He decided to walk on. I have been talking to some old friends that used to play at UND, and one of them, I will not mention his name, spoke very highly of Ryan Dressler. I expect some big things from him in the future. Remember Dave Wistoff walked on at UND and turned into one of the best fullbacks in program history. Ryan could be the next great Sioux Walk-on.

The Sicatoka Posted April 27, 2007 Author Share Posted April 27, 2007 I have been talking to some old friends that used to play at UND, and one of them, I will not mention his name, spoke very highly of Ryan Dressler. I expect some big things from him in the future. I saw Ryan play for the Demons a couple times. He's not the biggest or strongest or fastest guy, he just knows how to play, was my impression. I thought he ended up out west (UMary or Dickinson State). I'm glad to see he's at UND. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxfbfan Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 ryan did have a nice catch and run at the spring game. I agree that he isn't as fast or quick as weston but how many people are? He should be a good player and maybe be competing for the 5th wide reciever spot this coming year. Freund played well at the spring game. Didn't seem to make any mental errors and directed the offense well. It will be interesting to see how the number 2 spot pans out between konrath and landry. konrath appeared to struggle and appeared to get flustered a little. Landry played well, showed some promise with some good throws but probably needs to learn the offense a little more. I've heard from a couple of players that konrath could be moved to wide reciever if landry wins the number two spot like groeschl did a few years back. Overall, i wasn't as impressed with the spring game as i was last year at the alerus, possibly becuase of the wet turf. Also a smaller crowd then last year it seemed like.

BigGame Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 What's up with Jake Caufield? He looked good a season ago and was apparently hurt this past season. Is something wrong, or will he be a player next season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is something wrong, or will he be a player next season? He wasn't in uniform for the spring game, but I believe he's expected to be ready to go this fall.
