In his defense, our OL is not very good at all.  Neither is our DL, I hear about these stud tackles we supposedly have, but the next time I see them get some penetration will be the first time. 

You're absolutely right on our shift from the spread to a pound it running game.  We don't have the lineman for it, and we actually could create some mismatches with our talent at WR if we put 3 or 4 of them on the field every down.  Congrats on the win Craig, you are the better team.

Tough kid. When they helped him off, I knew it was bad.
Great family.
The O-Line will really need to pick it up in his absence. Sophomore Davis takes over at center.

Status: offline 		I stand by my statement that the Gophers have more talent than the Badgers overall. I think outside of the DL & OL, MN has better athletes and better talent in most other positions. IMO, the Badgers tend to look as good or better because the coaching staff knows how to best utilize them and put them in positions to succeed. A couple of examples of this are guys like Carpenter and Stoudermire. These guys are amazing talents that are being completely wasted by this incredibly inept coaching staff. Brewster's the kind of coach that would land a recruit like Adrian Peterson and then follow it up by hiring Mike Martz in order to throw the ball 50 times a game. He's an awful coach, which is unfortunate because he'd be a great lead recruiter for an actual coach!!

Good points.
I've been giving Brewster lots of slack, because of the better recruits he seems to be bringing in, but you're right ... maybe he can't coach worth a damn.
Tough to find the guys who can do both.

Not sure awful is the word, but terrible confused in what he wants to run

As for the Tow-Arnett kid, it is a shame especially since he missed most of last year with a ACL problem in his knee. Funny how some guys always get hurt and others seem to escape the bad injury

According to Brewer, Weber isn't looking off primary receivers at all (pretty much what we have been saying), he is blowing the easy throws (zipping it when he should be lobbing, lobbing when he should be zipping) and hanging Eric Decker out to dry with some of his throws. Brewer says that Decker has no business making half the catches he does, but he is just freakishly good at catching the ball.

PA told Brewe that Justin Conzemius took issue with his criticisms of Weber. Brewer's reply was "he obviously hasn't been watching any film."

I'm with Brewer. If Weber doesn't get act together this week and looks bad against a pathetic Purdue team, Brewster needs to switch to Gray before it's too late to salvage the season.

I was listen also and they both said that there is a problem with the offensive line. They could have talked about the defensive line also. Both were manhandled by Wisconsin and I'm sure will be again by Ohio St and Iowa

All_American-type WR on your club, hasn't been thrown to yet.
as announcer says, when the D is set up with a deep safety .... don't throw long down the middle, dumbass.
This isn't your first rodeo. but you play like it is.

Until the last TD, I was for giving Gray some extra time today. They need to give him a couple complete sreies instead of 1 play here and 1 play there

No urgency on offense to get that first down, which would have probably salted the game away.
Instead, it will be "hang on" time.

Especially not play such a soft defense
