Why do people say this?


Sep 24, 2012, 11:29 AM

We cant have a good defense with the type of offense we run. That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Look at Oregon they are known for their high powered offenses but look at what their D has done this year. They shutout Arizona saturday and they have a decent offense.

We had 20+ first down against FSU....


Sep 24, 2012, 11:30 AM

which means we drove the ball....

it's a strawman argument

"I've been working since I was 15 continually until now. I worked 40 hours a week at 15, when it wasn't even legal for 15 year olds to work that many hours."


We don't need a great D, just a decent one.


Sep 24, 2012, 11:31 AM

We can score on anyone. We just need to stop someone every now and again.

Bingo!***

How about we kick the ball in the endzone on kickoffs.***

There's something in these hills.


one thing we need to change imo is start tackling


Sep 24, 2012, 11:31 AM

in practice. Seeing how bad our tackling is, we need toughness.

do you know that we don't tackle in practice?***

Sep 24, 2012, 11:33 AM

I know what you mean... but I can tell you....


Sep 24, 2012, 11:34 AM

you go to ANY practice in the country... and during the season, it will be RARE that they go to the ground. RARE.

Heck, the same is true in High School.

The guys that say we should go to the ground everyday don't know what they are talking about.

Where does Oregon rank in total defense?


Sep 24, 2012, 11:34 AM

Is our Offense as potent as Oregon's?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

they are high... and yes.. it's better***

http://content.usatoday.com/sportsdata/football/ncaaf/stats/team-total-defense
Based on this website they are ranked #49. I think the saying comes from iron sharpens iron...and the defense practicing against our finesse offense isn't toughing the D.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

They rank 4th in points scored and 36th in points allowed


Sep 24, 2012, 11:43 AM [ in reply to Where does Oregon rank in total defense? ]

we are 22nd in points scored and 70th in points allowed

Another thing is we have good players on the D.Its up to the coaches to find the best players and have them ready for the team we are playing.These kids have been playing football all their lives.I see no excuse why we can't have a decent D this year.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Time of possession.....


Sep 24, 2012, 11:51 AM

is ranked 93rd in nation. It's ok as long as we're scoring tds.
Our defense spends too much time on the field. We aren't deep enough right now on D.
