    Thanks for answering my question, you hammerheads.

    Obviously I'm speaking from the prospective of a fan that was spooked by yesterday's results - while I've calmed down considerably and am not asking for DeBoer to be fired (shame on you @GrundleStiltzkin), I do think we? drop a game this season to Utah or the Beav as you suggested, Derek.

    Should such a thing come to pass, I will demand the immediate ban of @89ute or @BennyBeaver. They won't be in our? conference next year anyway.

    XXOO, and good pod, pods,

    DDJ

    Hurtful.

    Interestingly, our coach is emphatic that expansion is not over and this is not the end. This is interesting because he never speculates.
    I was kidding of course. I could never quit you, @89ute.

    Yeah, I agree Whittingham. We’ll have another round of realignment at some point.

    You can’t quit @89ute or you can’t quit his wives?
    I have a bad feeling the Utes are slowly building for another villain run to win the conference. I only take some solace in that in hopes that if it's Oregon they knock out.

    More things change, the more they stay the same…

    Can’t say I blame you. The only reason I decided to attend this circle jerk (aside from my legal issues with the airlines clearing up) is the hope of seeing one or two or maybe all seven of @89ute’s wives in person.

    Tackling isn't really something you just teach. You can improve it but it's a talent in the same way that throwing accuracy is.

    Budda Baker is an elite tackler. His contract reflects that. You can't just teach what he does.

    Your first sentence is contradicted immediately by your second sentence.
    Nah I think he's correct. Coaching can teach bad tacklers how to tackle in practice and how to make the easy ones...hitting guys who are held up, popping a guy pinned to the sidelines etc.

    You can't take a guy who just doesn't get it and expect him to ever be really good at it though. It's an instinctive process to cut off angles, break down properly so you're ready to launch but also able to go to either side, and time the hit. Muhammad has it, Baker, Gordon and McDuffie had it. Too many of the current DBs don't.

    I think that's kind of in line with what he was saying.

    One thing one of the coaches was talking about was the players made some bad choices about when to try to strip the ball vs when to wrap up. To me it seems crazy to have any emphasis on trying to pull the ball out because I'd rather just have good tackling all year over one or two random strips

    The worst example is in the grundles of Tuputala trying it early. The team is historically bad at sacks and causing fumbles this year. I think they haven't recovered a fumble all season and can barely even think of times they have caused them.

    The play by Tuputala is exactly what was in my head as well

    Wasn’t there a strip sack against Michigan State? Maybe I’m thinking of something else. Regardless, they are rarer than an accurate injury report from @bisonduck
