1. Defense WONT be ahead of the offense. New system being thrown at a defense that's breaking in 3 new pass rushers and 2 new players in the secondary. Add in new DBs/CBs coaches as well. Defense's first week is a trial by fire but they lock it in as camp goes by.
Kidder played as a freshman, Peevey, Crittenden & Holmes all played in heavy rotation last year, unless I missed something. No doubt, potentially two new guys in the secondary, but only one who didn't work with the team last year. It sounds like you're saying that Ty is making changes to the scheme, am I reading that right? Or does that mean more aggressive coverage schemes, more DB's or situational substitution?
Oh I agree, I'm excited for the grouping of Peevey, Kidder, and Crittenden but based on who they're replacing can you say at this point that these three are better than Wags, Takai, and Rehm? They could get there, yes for sure, but they aren't.

I like it.. Luke and Kidder would be a force.

I agree if we were running a 3-4 defense but I don't think we will be. I see this kids future at center.
Nope. There is no sign yet of a Humphrey or Reynolds in this group nor does anyone have a jet. Highly doubtful this could be viewed as a strength at this point. Replacing Canada's 3400+ yards and Van's receiving skills is very suspect.bgbigdog said:this group, along with the running backs, will be the strength of the offense going into week one.

Sam A. Blitz said:That it will be a 6 man competition at QB rather than the 3 man competition than many people on here are predicting. A lot of speculation on the QB position on here, which is fine, but I'm not sure how much of it is based on real credible knowledge with first hand observation of how these guys operate in this type of offense.

Gus has a cannon but he forces the ball too much. All the guy does is throw picks and he's not very mobile.. He'd be better off playing at Rocky.

Nothing personal against the kid, but envisioning him in Stitt's offense gives me flashbacks to Roper playing under Pflu...and that's not a good thing.

Am thinking that there isn't a replacement for Wags, not to slight Crittenden, because he'll give it his best. The other two may be a push, depending on how well Kidder comes back. Depth would be a huge concern, which is why I think Ena & Sims are in the mix early. We'll certainly see if anyone else steps up.

Yeah I agree about Holmes being the best Griz DE this year. Though no one should be surprised that Wags "over shadowed" Holmes a bit last year. Wags red-shirted and was a Griz for 5 years last season, while Holmes hadn't red-shirted and was a Griz for 3 years last season.
