It isn't as though DR can't make the throws now -- and will never improve.

He doesn't seem to read safeties very well on slant routes.<br /><br />BTW, I agree on Countess/Woolfolk completely. Between the promise Countess shows, Avery, Floyd, we can afford to give Woolfolk a breather. Northwestern could be a real challenge and MSU is going to be intense, maybe more than usual.Lankowniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07421144704503213226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-59778382483213360942011-09-26T11:16:48.790-04:002011-09-26T11:16:48.790-04:00@ Anonymous 11:02 a.m.

At least the offense hasn't been bogging down in the red zone, which was a problem in the past. I guess the coaches will just have to settle for scoring 32 points a game and hoping that the defense can hold up.Thunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09708792562446136381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-67672842340307700952011-09-26T11:02:10.239-04:002011-09-26T11:02:10.239-04:00i dont understand how after 3 weeks of play, no ad...i dont understand how after 3 weeks of play, no adjustments were made to the passing game. it can no longer be chalked up to a fluke. denard can't make the passes that he's being asked to make. would it really sacrifice the long term objectives if the passing attack were simplified for the time being to fit denards strengths (abilities). i refuse to believe the coaches can't figure out something that would work better than what we've seen so far.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-51951888419956397582011-09-26T10:38:38.681-04:002011-09-26T10:38:38.681-04:00According to the NCAA, Denard is averaging 169 yds...According to the NCAA, Denard is averaging 169 yds/game.

Plus, I try to pick just one guy when I can.<br /><br />Martin did have a good game, but he didn't have any sacks and SDSU still ran for a decent amount of yards (Hillman had 109 himself). I'll take a guy who ran for 200 yards and scored 3 touchdowns over a guy who got a little pressure on the opposing quarterback.Thunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09708792562446136381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-70126956662477097862011-09-26T08:32:58.548-04:002011-09-26T08:32:58.548-04:00I would say that the defense was the MVP of the ga...I would say that the defense was the MVP of the game. I know its not a 'person', but we held them to 7 points. Not to de-value Robinson, but when you hold your opponent to 7 points, his contribution was overkill (dont get me wrong, overkill is good, but it is what it is - overkill). We didn't need all Robinson's production to win, but we did need the lack of production induced by the defense. Or perhaps the front 4 gets the MVP. Or just Martin of you have to pick one guy. Robinson's production was good for kicks, but not necessary - for this game anyway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
