2017 Fall Camp

Re: 2017 Fall Camp

You have more faith than me. I don't see the depth at all but I'm not a coach. After watching last year's debacle against Cal Poly and other teams, it has me worried even without (more) injuries on the D-line.

Wow, I forgot about that game. Honestly, I still blame that one on the coaches.

Re: 2017 Fall Camp

I honestly thought at the Cal Poly game... even more than the D-Line... who took a lot of the blame... that the secondary really struggled.

-Remember the corners last season were young and unproven, and they really had troubled getting off blocks... which turned a 5/6 yard gain, into a 20+ yard run.

They got much better as the season progressed.

However, and this is just me... I'm a bit worried about the Dukes. (That's just my nature... can't be helped)

Re: 2017 Fall Camp

yeah the cal poly passing I felt was really the dagger.

If we don't come out fired up on offense that will be bad, but the D sure is going to have to prove something. if we struggle with the run or 3rd downs it wont take long till people say here we go again.

I sure wish this game was on a Saturday.

Re: 2017 Fall Camp

Yep, quite a bit of scheme. Our guys looked lost at times trying to find the ball, almost like the shell game(or in Jack FB game terms the Hy-Vee grocery bag game, ). Protheroe is on many NFL watch lists too. Again, I think if we run into them again Clint and Jimmy have the guys ready to defend that triple. Definitely ready for some FB.

Last season we played two very different offenses (TCU/Cal Poly) and I was curious as to what the defensive stats looked like if you took out those games. Lucky for me I had a long conference call at work so I had the time.

Taking out Cal Poly (Highest rushing game - 440) and TCU (Highest passing game - 439) I think the numbers are this:

Total Yards/Game: 352
Total Rushing Yards/Game: 134
Total Passing Yards/Game: 218

Those numbers are not that bad considering how young the secondary was to start the year. The only other game than those two that we gave up over 400 yards was @ SIU (520, 98 rush/422 pass).

18-22 year old kids being heaped with publicity, praise, hype and sky-high expectations - I don't blame anyone for being a little concerned about how they might come out of the gate next Thursday. It's going to be a fascinating season.

Re: 2017 Fall Camp

Considering that TC didn't turn it over 15 times all last season I think we should be ok.

I think Thursday will be fun but I think Saturday games just work better because so many people have to travel for SDSU games. You have to look at how many people have to travel more than a hour. Some people will take vacation but other won't. play, they will have to factor getting home around midnight for Friday as well.
