>. < It's tough to know where to start, but seeing as the frustration sparks animosity, i think it's time to just say things. There have been a select few Outspoken optimists among the threads. here and on 'other' sites. But Overall i have found myself caught up in conversations about Getting rid of Helf. or Getting rid of Hawkins. So.. Ok. Just take a think on this.
Helfrich HAS time in my opinion. I know a lot of us. NONE more than me want to see this team in an 'I' or something like it. But after thinking about it.i just can't imagine Him trying to get our team together to reform the offense under a new system. Obviously what were doing does NOT work. However at the beginning of the year, (spring game) im pretty sure I noted he was building off of last years semi, actually decently succesfull offense. Now. Due to injuries, that scheme has fallen flat on it's face. and YES i think injuries were the key. Look at the Broncos. Steaming with talent, as ANY pro team. BUt their offense was extrodinary until a recent onslot of injuries. And none as significant as ours. Helfrich was scrambling to re build the system he had put in place. but it failed. And with the rise of Stewart , we see the possibility for this team to have a foundation in the run game. A direction i'm sure he did not expect. Now this team is young. (No excuse totally for performance) but it is an excuse for the reason we can't re organize our offense in the middle of the season. I know we have 'plays' out of power formation but I can't see the players being able to adapt to the power being the solidity of our offense. We just didn't have time to practice it!. .
ok. and think of this. SHawn Watson. We hated him. Thought he was Horrible. We called for his head, And we got it. He is very succesful for the red heads next door. Did he change? or was he just plugged into a system that had confidence in him. Colorado Has become an environment where i cant imagine a coach with any sort or inconfidence coming in and having success. .
I think our OC deserves to ride out at LEAST two offensive seasons where he's got what he NEEDS. Not even wants. But needs . I think D Scott has the right attitude. . I think he may end up being a blessing in leadership. the last to things i've heard him say, "that we just need to win out and regroup" (paraphrased roughly) and that the buffalo nation needs to cut them some slack. he's RIGHT. Some how we need to relax and try to enjoy this in any way we can. There isn't room really for another team, like US, to rise in the big 12 quite yet. Just like Tennessee won't rise for a while in the east. However. When Reesing Graduates. or missouri peaks and comes back down. that's when We. AND nebraska will return to the top.
And honestly.. I hate nebraska. BUT i want them to be #1 every time we spoil their season.
Ne ways. Leave thoughts. It's wordy. But oh well. I'm just tired of people throwing up their hands and calling it quits.
