  1. EDGE improvement should help pass rush dramatically. If the DT situation is even close to as good as we've been hearing, the front four should be improved overall, and the DB shouldn't have to cover receivers for thirty seconds per play. The SEC reffing should lower the holding foul disparity, but the keyword is "should" - remains to be seen. We may hope.
  2. Which includes $78,000,000 credit for former football coaches.
  3. Board the 'coaster, my friend, it's leaving the Station in just a few more days. Enjoy the ride, it's... inevitable.
  4. Doctor Pepper Forever! And, if I can't have the Doctor, gimme a Dub, none of that RC shit. SUrely they do still make Double Cola, don't they?
  5. It's the Standard, fer sher. And just to make it even better - the list has clickable links to each game.
  6. True, but pretty sure he was on the sidelines in games and at practices. For whatever reason, I got the impression that PK didn't care for the situation, and may not have been on board with it at all. For sure, I'd take Patterson as DC right this instant, but in't gonna happen.
  7. Seriously good point.
  8. Don't ignore the possibility that the ND HC will likely be available in a year or two. You know, just in case The Elk comes down with a case of Jimbo-itis. Advantage aggy.
  9. Agree. But I thought the same thing when Patterson arrived...
  10. The real question about looch is "does he actually believe the bullshit that comes out of his mouth and from his fingertips... or is he just a con-man with a huge target full of simpletons?" whynotboth.gif
  11. You've spelt "day" incorrectly.
  12. I think Sark saw it coming plenty early, but he (mistakenly?) has trusted PK to fix it. Someone pointed out that PK apparently doesn't long to be HC somewhere, and that may be so. It means to me that he doesn't have the attitude to be in charge of the entire Defense, either. Sark is a really, really high-quality Offense coach. Like a lot of the type, he seems to have a tendency to - I hate to say "ignore", but - not pay enough attention to the defensive part of the game. He has two full-time jobs, as both HC and being his own OC, so he simply doesn't have enough hours in his days to ride herd on the D as well. I understand his relationship with Kwiatkowsky goes back quite a way, but the fact is the D has not reached the heights that the O has. I also understand that it has certainly gotten better, and most of us believe it will be better still, this season. Is that enough? Maybe, maybe not. If the DB crew doesn't improve from last year, it appears to me we're going to see the same result: win almost all our games, but have one or two where we just can't stop our opponents' passing attacks, and if the O doesn't crush it... well, 12-2 is a whole lot better than we've seen in a long, long time. Season's getting close, and we'll be talking about coaching and play far more than we talk about recruiting. cantwait.gif
  13. So does the RB room and DB recruiting. I'd settle for a poke at Julia Louis-Dreyfus.
  14. Where else would you burn them, without going outside?
  15. Fire place reserveed for cats.
  16. Preaching to the choir.
  17. But... but... but isn't the whole point of getting the ***** guys that you don't have to develop them? Maybe I was misinformed.
  18. Okay, then... so move them to the recruiting staff?
  19. Just don't let her see you pee in the sink.
  20. Play "Big Edge" guys inside?
  21. Absolutely. I think it's telling that he's a LB guy, as is PK. One of my hopes for the season ahead is that we show really, really well on D... and PK gets a HC job. And he takes Joseph and Gideon with him.
  22. You wrote "starts", not "first half". You followed that up with babble about second half and Q4, overall. Note that I didn't disagree with "starts" at all, nor did I disagree with "overall", I simply pointed out that the very last game did not see an excellent second half nor Q4. The "overall" argument is meaningless - we could see an excellent overall year and go 8-4 without invalidating "overall"... and still be less than ecstatic about it.
  23. Scrolled by so quickly, I read that as "soggy AD". Scrolled back up, and photo confirmed.
  24. Because they couldn't spell "Duke" and neither could he?
