List of injured/ill last week from Sipple piece
- Thread starter inWV
- Start date
We knew going into this season that DE and LB were threadbare. We also thought the secondary was a strength. I think we have seen enough that Banker is pointing the defense in the right direction for conference play, but we have numerous weak points to address through recruiting. Still, stop the run is more critical than stop the pass. So Miss passed for over 400 yards, but still lost. Does anyone think they would have lost is they had run for 300 yard on our defense?
Let's hope we can continue to stop the run but let's be honest, why would you not throw the ball most of the time against us??

I don't agree that people are out for 'Banker blood", but he is the D cord on one of the worst defenses in the country so his name will be brought up since he coaches that side of the ball, and it's a legit discussion. If people are going to give him a free pass that's fine, its certainly your right to dismiss it, but it has me concerned and not because I'm out for blood, I just hate to see us suck so bad on that side of the ball.
I guess that's the point I was trying to make... Let's discuss it legitimately. Injuries are a key factor this year, as our backups are freshmen and walk-ons on defense. Why doesn't anybody want to discuss it? I'm not dismissing anything here. I am genuinely curious why those who are so critical of Banker (and rightly so, as you point out... he is the DC) are avoiding this thread.
No issues with you, litespeed, just curious about some of the others like WiscoSker and BlackShirt Player, to name a few. I am concerned about our defense as well, but I guess I give more rope to Banker because of these injuries. I am concerned about the direction of the defense, but also want to hear why having 5 of our front seven on the sidelines shouldn't affect us and make us suck a little bit, especially when those behind them are freshmen and walk-ons.
What was Banker's excuse the 3 weeks before? One thing I have noticed over the years... bad coach=excuses. good coach=next man up.
Are you saying we were healthy the three weeks before? MRI and Justin Rose out first week... Gangwish, Bando and young second week. Gangwish and VV out, Bando MRI not 100% third week...
Don't want it to be an excuse? Let it be an explanation then.
Is Young healthy? He looks like his feet hurt to me. I cant remember, does he have turf toe?
I brought this up and some of the less intelligent members of the board took a piss all over it. Practice time is important, and missing it because of illness is almost worse because you lose your conditioning a lot faster.
