The "M" is silent.

That makes total sense.

Pulling for Jaylon. When healthy, that cat can play.

Something that hurt the team last year that we didn't talk about enough was the injury to Evans putting way too much on Lindsay. If he's truly 100% again, that's very important depth for the offense that we can trust out there.

Use the sideline as an extra defender. Free release to the inside is asking for trouble.

Safety over top though, he is supposed to turn him inside.

That's what it looked like. He lined up to force an inside release. That's all well and good, but you can't allow a clean inside release that puts you so badly in trail that you're out of the play within 5 yards.

 

[Buffalo Born]

I just want to know who threw the ball, those are the 2s

 

[Duff Man]

Maybe. Can't give a clean release regardless.

Viska looks like he belongs on Bama or Clemson, but he's actually on CU. (pinches self)

Can you believe he was only a 3 Star? I was watching some of his high school film and I can’t believe he was just a 3 Star..

 

[Bread]

Not sure if this has been posted somewhere else but who else is planning to be at the practice tomorrow?

Edit: See Nik’s Thread for this discussion

You have to ride him down line of scrimmage. Can’t get free release.

Abrams never saw a guy like Viska at Indy CC... that was embarrassing.

I saw the last season and there was a few times he made some really bad tackle attempts and got badly beaten. I wasn’t sure if it was just exaggerated as they only show scoring plays really or if he has that tendency to fall asleep.

Coachble moment?

Javier already looking more athletic from the significant weight loss. ^_^



Sheesh!

Viska held up some for the ball too.

CU had a player named Dick Punches? Is this common knowledge? This is incredible.

Haha that’s great, what a name.

 

[Ringer]

No fans outside of the Colorado world know who Viska is. If he stays healthy, that will change quickly this season.

Of course. But that is a bad man lining up across from him.

This was a noted weakness for NU last year. UCF grad transfer should help.

Can Montez keep his head in front of a loud crowd?

I like CU in this positional match up.

 

[onealcd]

Anyone else down to pitch some money to help out and get this guy some season tickets?

Similar to Mangham he was a 4 star and then got bumped down to 3. Buffnik and others have discussed the fine line between highly rated 3 stars and 4, not much of a difference.

 

[JMBuffs]

Winfree mentions all of the position groups not taking a step back, which would be amazing! Looking at each group compared to last year:

QB: improved with Montez in his 4th year and Lytle really stepping up.
RB: step back with loss of Lindsay from production and leadership. Hopefully addition of McTravon and a healthy Evans makes up for loss.
WR: questionable step up, tons of talent and solid senior group to lead the young boyz. Big 3 to replace from last year though.
TE: step up, Bounds showed last year plus the addition of Jones and a Healthy Pop should make this group improved
OL: step up....Moretti and Lynot are Healthy! Haigler and Kaiser are leaders. Could be a real solid core.

DL: Step up, growth in weight room and maturity, plus some great '18 recruits filling holes. Can't be as bad as last year.
LB: Step up, Gamboa and Lewis are seniors, Callier, Landman, Wells are growing, plus a good class of jucos.
CB: step back, losing Oliver hurts.
S: step up, best Defensive group with Fisher Worthington and Taylor.

 

[DrunkRalphie]

Haha that’s great, what a name.

And he's from Nebraska. It couldn't be better.

And he was from ‘braska. (Oops. DR beat me to it).

Did not know that they bumped him down but definitely true, not much difference

Then why do we keep bitching about all the 3-star commits and complain that this staff can't recruit?

Because there’s not much difference between an 88/89 3* and a 90 rated 4*

But there’s a big difference between a 88 rated 3* star and a 80 rated 3*
