    I like to think that with two weeks to prepare, the D will have some tricks up their sleeve to stop the run

    Thanks Softy

    When I was a kid I played for several years for the Sammamish Bengals. There was a game where we played a team that ran triple option. So we ran what we called the "Bengal Blitz". We sent all 11 defenders at the ball carrier.

    We ran it twice and gave up two long touchdowns.

    I miss the days you could blast the QB on the option....every play
    Can’t you still? They are considered a ball carrier. In the NFL they have all the rules about roughing the passer. In college, as long as it’s not their head, you can still blast the QB.

    If Manu plays we have lost.

    Seriously. If you can’t take Manu off the field because you’re a pussy, get him on punt team and kick off return.

    How the fuck is Olofosio not playing? I get it. He’s stiff and one of those uncoordinated players who looks bad in drills and is probably a big liability in coverage, but at least he can run and hit.

    I don’t believe so....as soon as they give it up you have to give up

    It’s why the Pistol works

    I think youse guys missed the point of this thread - Moss for 7 - means that we are tackling him at first contact and holding him to only 7 yards per run.

    Right there that would be a victory.

    The problem is that runs that gained 2 last year go for 5 now. 5 yard runs are now 10+. 10+ runs are going to the house. Our tackling sucks. I know coaches like to limit contact at practice to lessen injuries, but there is only way to get better at tackling and that’s getting reps at game speed and full contact.

    Moss and Huntley didn't finish the season last year. Huntley was hobbled last week.
