Stanford would go to the Alamo bowl as the 2nd place team. The Holiday bowl then would chose OSU as Cliff keeps mentioning, but for some reason you can't understand.

With Tonu gone there are only 4 other DTs on scholarship. Also is the idea of Dwight going to MLB for the TCU game becoming less likely? Sun, 29 Aug 2010 00:54:14 +0000 http://cliffkirkpatrick.mvourtown.com/2010/08/28/cliff-henry-doing-better/#IDComment95747946 http://cliffkirkpatrick.mvourtown.com/2010/08/26/cliff-day-16-notes/#IDComment95455504 Sounds like the WR roation might be pretty deep in games or at the least has a lot of options. SE: Nichols, Wheaton, Munoz, and Catchings can play this position too SB: Bishop, NIchols, and maybe Gwacham FL: Rodgers, Catchings, Hatfiled, Cummings I can't imagine all these guys are going to play. Also does Walker have a chance at playing at SB this season?

Cover kicks or maybe return punts? Is he going to play at all at WR? Just seems like a waste of a year if he's going to takle punt and kick returners.

Also there is no wrong decision there's just different decisions and certain ones make more sense , which none of the ones you suggested made Tue, 17 Aug 2010 04:22:07 +0000 http://cliffkirkpatrick.mvourtown.com/2010/08/15/cliff-family-calls-quizz-overrated/#IDComment93586023 http://cliffkirkpatrick.mvourtown.com/2010/08/16/cliff-heisman-voting-quizz/#IDComment93585802 I think BSU does a 4-2-5 as well, but read about the same possible change. Tue, 17 Aug 2010 04:20:06 +0000 http://cliffkirkpatrick.mvourtown.com/2010/08/16/cliff-heisman-voting-quizz/#IDComment93585802 http://cliffkirkpatrick.mvourtown.com/2010/08/15/cliff-family-calls-quizz-overrated/#IDComment93577416 And a lot of those changes are done when those players changing positions wouldn't be expected to play too much let alone start right away. Sure an extra spring would've helped, but it's no gaurantee they've played better than the guys who are already there. Especially if you're going to move Collins to MLB considering there's a big difference between MLB and SS. "No, but it will prove what they did was wrong. " No it doesn't. For all anybody knows switching players around could've made things worse.

Mon, 16 Aug 2010 21:50:44 +0000 http://cliffkirkpatrick.mvourtown.com/2010/08/16/cliff-heisman-voting-quizz/#IDComment93518699 http://cliffkirkpatrick.mvourtown.com/2010/08/15/cliff-family-calls-quizz-overrated/#IDComment93517839 Yes because if that happens that somehow just proves that if the coaches had done things your way all of it could've been prevented. Sure that makes total sense. This isn't like a video game where you can just switch players positions and that's it. Players have to learn things at certain positions and some positions are more complicated to learn. You act as if they just switch positions then they'll just automatically know everything that comes with the position. Mon, 16 Aug 2010 21:44:54 +0000 http://cliffkirkpatrick.mvourtown.com/2010/08/15/cliff-family-calls-quizz-overrated/#IDComment93517839 http://cliffkirkpatrick.mvourtown.com/2010/08/15/cliff-family-calls-quizz-overrated/#IDComment93409095 I think it's more moot due to those changes being pointless and unnecessary. Why move Hardin? Sure he's got the size of a safety, but CB is a harder position to learn and Banker gives them a lot of responsibility on stopping the run. Having a guy with his size and athletic ability at CB doesn't occur very often. Why move Poyer to FS? He's still learning the CB position, which again is more difficult and important that FS. He too is very athletic, which is more important to have at CB than FS. I think all the reasons why not to move Collins have already been listed. I'm all for moving Robserons to MLB if that's what it comes too Mon, 16 Aug 2010 06:21:00 +0000 http://cliffkirkpatrick.mvourtown.com/2010/08/15/cliff-family-calls-quizz-overrated/#IDComment93409095 http://cliffkirkpatrick.mvourtown.com/2010/08/15/cliff-family-calls-quizz-overrated/#IDComment93320710 Never read hat he was practicing with the 1's, but Cliff would definetley know more about it som you could be right. Don't remember any sort of consideration during this off season about Watkins switching to LB let alone MLB unless you're talking about when he was first coming in. If that is what you're talking about and if he would've been an MLB then there's still quite a bit of difference because he would've been able to practice and learn ths position for a couple years now not just one fall camp. I agree that the depth looks worrisome at MLB, but I really don't think Collins would be able to improve it too much even though he has the size for it because of the lack of the knowledge he has for the position. Really the only way for Robinson and Wilson to improve as players is for them to just get experience playing in actual games even though that just makes things more worrisome due to the OOC schedule. Sun, 15 Aug 2010 17:50:47 +0000 http://cliffkirkpatrick.mvourtown.com/2010/08/15/cliff-family-calls-quizz-overrated/#IDComment93320710 http://cliffkirkpatrick.mvourtown.com/2010/08/15/cliff-family-calls-quizz-overrated/#IDComment93317448 There's only been 6 days of practice and only 2 in full pads so I don't know how much you expect Robinson and Wilson to progress from Spring. Robinson and Wilson either have little or no expereience playing so they probably are going to take their lumps, but Collins probably would too if he switched to MLB. Sun, 15 Aug 2010 17:25:16 +0000 http://cliffkirkpatrick.mvourtown.com/2010/08/15/cliff-family-calls-quizz-overrated/#IDComment93317448 http://cliffkirkpatrick.mvourtown.com/2010/08/15/cliff-family-calls-quizz-overrated/#IDComment93317386 1. Sure he could've transitioned then, but he didn't. I didn't say he couldn't ever play at the position I'm just saying the coaches wouldn't want to do it so late with him having really no knowledge of the position. 2. Yeah sure you see safeties switch to a LB position, but probably not very often to the starting MLB position. You're also forgetting again that the MLB has to make calls for the defense to make adjustments. Something Collins would have less experience at than anybody currently at MLB and it's one of the more important responsibilities for theposition. 3. I think coaches would like kim more as the #3 Safety than starting safety. I also haven't read anything , or atleast if you're going by Cliff's blog, indicating Tuimaunei is challenging Collins for the starting job. I read once that soley on one day he stood out or was making good plays, but that doesn't mean he's all of a sudden cometing with Colins for a starting position.

He's never practiced a snap at the position prior to fall camp. 2. The MLB position is supposed to be the QB of the defense, the player who makes all the callsa and ajustments for the defense. Collins won't be able to learn how to do this in one fall camp and probably won't be any better than anyone currently at MLB at doing it. 3. If you move Collins to MLB who do replace him with at Safety? Watkins has only played a few games as a back up. LaGrone hasn't played at all. I don't think coaches really want to start Tuimaunei again.

I don't emember him playing that much last year anyways. Thu, 12 Aug 2010 18:19:58 +0000 http://cliffkirkpatrick.mvourtown.com/2010/08/12/cliff-talking-o-line/#IDComment92599958
