Comparing Defensive 2-Deep Talent vs Wisconsin and Iowa..

[red scowl]

I think we will see a jump in our defense next year simply because of familiarity. Less thinking, more doing.

I remember reading that the reason Tre Neal starts is because he knows the defense and can help get the players where they should be. The players are still thinking a little too much and not playing on instinct.

That said, not being an X’s and O’s guy, I am not saying coaching is good and it’s on the players. I’m just saying it has to improve next year simply because the players will be more familiar with the defense. Not to mention the schedule is easier.

I would like to think we will represent the west as well. No reason to think otherwise.

Hell yes, If we don't win the west next year, I'll be disappointed. It really is a shit division. Brohms gone after the season.

 

[red scowl]

I never said this is the pinnacle, I said we will never be comparable to Wisconsin and Iowa statistically because we do not try and do that.



I just would like to point out how ridiculous culous this statement is. The guy calling people children is going to the McDonalds drive thru giving high school kids riddles to solve. That’s like telling the guy at Lowe’s you need your boards cut into 7 hands apiece.

Maybe don’t be a d-bag and say two next time.


¯\_(ツ)_/¯

wrong about everything. Are you from Slidell?

how many is a plethora?

You've got me there. An excessive number is what I would say.

That wasn't for you. My bad.

5

That wasn't for you. My bad.

I knew it was an excessive amount of something, but thought it may have included a large variety of a large number of something. But it's just an excessive amount of something

And another. You don't mind if instead of calling you Old Gold Knight, I just call you "dunce" for short, do you?

Look under Idiom, Dunce...

Wow.....you got me.....I apologize..........






For you being an exceedingly dull wad of fvck waste.

So, lets summarize: Almost all of the dictionaries we have checked define that a couple can mean two or more. I've provided a couple of dictionaries who consider it a proper definition (which you will not acknowledge) and you've provided a couple which consider it an informal definition.

Looks like an impasse.

So, I'll humor you. Let's just say that the informal or colloquial definition is more than two. Ok. That's makes you even more of a bag of douche juice than we originally thought for whining about it when numerous people ask for clarification.

You know how this all could have been avoided, if you'd have acted like your nads had dropped, impersonated a man, and just gave a straight answer.

But by all means keep whining about when you give verified ambiguous answers (formal or informal) to confuse teenagers waiting on you at McDonald's, if it bolsters your excessively low self esteem.....
C U Next Tuesday.

If you'd like to continue to rub one out by arguing semantics, be my guest.

Moving on.......

I'll get back to addressing your idiotic statement that there is plenty of talent to run this defense the way that this staff would like to.

We can add to the list (that you will, yet again fail to acknowledge) of professionals with access to the program who have stated that the players and the talent aren't on hand in Lincoln.

Last night on KETV, Callahan said that they don't have they guys they need. Said that 5 of the starters played every snap against Illinois due to lack of quality depth......

......unfortunately it's rumored that the depth took another hit. Looks like an OLB/pass rushing specialist has left the team.

First of all, I've never said a word to any of the McDonald's employees for asking me "how many?" They are treated poorly enough already by customers. I'm not going to make their time at work worse than it probably already is. I'm completely respectful of them. I've mentioned this before.

I think you probably didn't look closely enough at the definitions of "couple" in your dictionaries. You mentioned Merriam-Webster as one of your sources. I posted what I found on the Merriam-Webster site, and lower down it has the Informal use of "couple" listed as "a few."

OK, I'm going to do something differently here, because the negativity is wearing me out. I don't like getting into these type of exchanges, because no one benefits. If we have to disagree on the talent issue, so be it. This isn't the first time people have disagreed on a topic. But I'm not going to continue on with slinging shit back and forth, because I've got better things to do with my time. We disagree on Rivals' rankings. That's fine.

This is about the talent that is currently in this program, as rated by objective rating sources. My contention has always been that if Chinander were a better DC, they would/should be ahead of where they are at right now, regardless of what coaching they've had in the past.

In contrast to what what you have posted about comments from Moos, Davidson, et al, Frost has said they should only need immediate help at one or two spots. What was inferred is that is on both sides of the ball. What else are Moos and Davidson going to do...say that their defensive coaching staff has fallen short of putting their talent in the position to succeed? As I've said before, players in the program are transient; the coaches aren't. They are going to blame the talent instead of the coaches, because the coaches are permanent fixtures. And they also aren't going to rip on the guys that Moos hired (Frost and his staff)...and the guy (Frost) that hired Davidson.

Rivals hasn't gone out of their way to rate our players any differently than any other program in the nation, which means as compared to any other program in the West, the talent coming into our program over the last 5 years has been ranked much better than any team in the West. And the talent on campus right now is rated higher than all of the West.

Even if we had the worst coaches in the nation for the players' first 4 years, if Chinander were a solid coach, I think we would and should be ahead of where we are right now on defense. He and his staff have had enough time to have a positive impact, and although I've seen glimpses of moving forward, I think we should be in a better place on defense. After rewatching the Illinois game, players are out of position with regularity. This problem shouldn't be this significant at this point of the season...even for a first year staff.

I simply think we should be ahead of where we are on defense, and if Frost seems to think that we only need immediate help at one or two spots, I'm going to go by what he says instead of a couple guys that have to support their coaches over transient talent. In all honestly, they shouldn't be saying a word about the talent. It's poor form.
