I know we are stacked at WR but we are lacking when it comes to true speedsters. Only James and Wheaton have elite speed at WR (I guess Catchings has pretty darn good speed but he doesn't play anymore for some reason). So this should be a nice pickup if he ends up at WR or CB.

Sell out to stop the running game and hope Darron Thomas throws some bad balls.

He seems to small to play DT in the NFL? Is he fast enough to play DE in a 3-4. I would love to see him make it in the NFL I just am having a hard time seeing what his role would be.

Also on your most recent blog you questioned why Stanford plays on real grass.... I believe grass is actually more expensive in the long run than even the nicest turf (not positive on this) but it takes a lot of work to maintain grass.

I think that was the first time I have ever watched a Beaver game and thought "okay lets just keep it on the ground and run out the clock" and then seen the Beavers continue to stay aggressive all game long. It is going to take at least as great of an effort to become bowl eligible. I don't think we got USC's best effort. I hope the players remember that WSU game and play with the same fire for the next 2. I will be happy win or lose as long as they bring it.

Kind of odd we have 5 DE's in this class. Have to wonder if the bigger guys aren't going to be DT's or if the smaller guys don't end up at LB? Too bad coaches can't talk about it yet.

The only thing that makes sense is No. 1 and No. 2. 3-10 is a crap shoot.

I shouldn't have to apologize for living under a rock. A little courtesy would be nice.

Sorry if you find it funny that I do not follow running.

Maybe we need to simplify things?

But just because something has worked in the past doesn't mean it will work in the future. I am not saying to blow it up just saying you have to always be looking for ways to improve because everyone else is. I think Riley has done this and will continue to do this though.

I think the defense needs a serious retooling. The majority of our opponents are running a wide variety of looks. WSU was running read options. I recall Cliff saying on the blog that OSU only face 2 or 3 teams a year that run that kind of stuff so the defense can't be tooled to face those kinds of attacks... well now over half our opponents are running spread option or similar attacks, time to retool.

Hopefully he is ready come next year.

I must have missed something did Katz get shaken up or was it just because he was ineffective?

Mon, 15 Nov 2010 19:39:57 +0000 http://cliffkirkpatrick.mvourtown.com/2010/11/14/cliff-wsu-fallout/#IDComment109935978 http://cliffkirkpatrick.mvourtown.com/2010/11/14/cliff-pac-10-power-poll-2/#IDComment109778083 Just a pathetic effort. It wasn't the fact we lost it was the fact the Beavers didn't seem to care if the Cougs were going to break their losing streak verse them. No fire whatsoever. We need to look deep and make some changes this season and in the off season. Don't know if that means personnel or system but something must change.

To me power rankings should be a snapshot. Right now I don't think there is a team in the Pac-10 the Beavers would beat. Sure they have played better than last place in the past and their record backs it up but right now I agree with Cliff. Records aren't the end all be all for power rankings, power rankings are more an eyeball test.

He looks super athletic almost a hybrid. He might even end up at LB.

Oh well special teams have been great minus the actual kickers. It is just frustrating because when they are on they are such great kickers but they are just inconsistent... reminds me of my golf game.
