I think the defense is above average, as it was last year, but it always seems incapable of handling opponents second half adjustments.  That combined with awful offense means a lot of losses.

It's good enough to keep most games closeish at least in the first half if not a lead for us, despite our bad offense, which means a lot I think.

I get the feeling that once we play better offenses, we're not even going to look "above average".

It's possible, but I think we still will. To me, that means between 16th and 10thish, btw, which imo does not mean a "great defense." I just think Snow is on the edge of competency and we have some excellent players on D.

I still think excellent offenses will absolutely run all over us in the 2nd half of games.

We will see because some real challenges do await them.

I agree about having excellent players on the defense.

Snow? Not so much.

I like to think of Snow as someone that is likely an excellent college coordinator. The games are similar enough and our players good enough it means he can look good sometimes. But he fails to adjust the way the pro teams do and so I classify him as just outside of being a competent coach, heh. 

I also wonder if this year some of our other coaches really have had a positive impact on the D. But hard for sure to say until we get a better opponent...

      Snow in the high country

      By rayzor · Posted

      yeah. winter backpacking trips were the most miserable and amazing experiences. same with the coldest and snowiest hunting  experiences. i love being in it. makes for incredible memories. the worse it was, the more i ended up loving it. made the greatest memories.  i just want to get out of it afterwards.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      I forgot about Jackson...definitely elite.  The sad part of your list is that 2 of them were 'there for the taking for the Panthers'.  Rumor has it that Hurney loved Herbert and was vetoed on trying to trade up.  And rumor has it that Frank & McCown wanted Stroud.  I believe both rumors.

      Snow in the high country

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I went on a solo elk hunt in the Flat Tops. It was awesomely miserable. LOL It was a late season hunt, I think third season and it was forecasted to snap off cold with highs in the upper thirties and lows in the single digits. fug it, I'm going anyway. They were wrong. The highs were in the low 20s and the lows were in the negative teens. I shivered so hard the first night I thought my teeth were going to break. It was the only time I've ever been legit concerned that I might be in trouble. Crawled out of my sleeping bag and got a fire started and suffered through the night bundled up next to the fire. I slept the next two nights literally wearing every stitch of clothing I'd brought with Nalgenes full of near boiling water in the bottom of my sleeping bag. That was the only way to have non-frozen water in the morning anyway. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and the melt/freeze crust was almost enough to support your weight but you'd go crashing through just as you went or make your step. It was exhausting travel and every step sounded like a rifle shot. Hunting was basically impossible. I never saw an elk in those four days, only saw 5-6 deer. LOL It was brutal but I loved it. Absolutely beautiful country that is never been to before and haven't been back since. I needed that four day complete break from society fighting for my life against the elements. I'm weird like that.
