Was our Defensive Line good?

 

Good Point

I agree 100% with Tommy Perry being on board, the man showed his value to this program. Frankly he was the only coach I liked on Dan's staff.

Kevin Patrick on the other hand? I'm thinking KP has one year to prove himself.

No my point is he has been here 2 seasons (starting his 3rd) the majority of his D-lineman haven't made it through the Redshirt year or into contributing years.  Thats my point. Let me write it out differently.  

DT's: of the 8 we have 2 veterans  JR Sir Calvin FLOP not his recruit, and SR Austin Orr hard nosed kid.  The remaining 6 are either RS Freshman or Freshman except Sid Moore who is a Soph. 1 is leaving in Demikal Harrison (supposedly) 

DE's: of the 8 we have 4 veterans.  The young pups are Tillman Johnson, Eli Howard, JR Jareid Combs (JUCO),  JR Dakota Smith (JUCO) 

Remaining guys are RS SO Flusche, JR Dilonga, JR Roberts, and graduating SR Polk

These are all this years classes and not adjusted for the upcoming season.  I would say he was left a very bare cupboard what about you?

The defensive line was poor in 2014 and horrible in 2015.   So this is the first hire that I will be critically examining because on face value it just appears shaky in my opinion.  It might just be the timing, his familiarity with the program and recruiting connections keeping him on board.  I am no line play guru who can break down technique but even undersize guys should have be a little more successful with proper technique and motivation.   That line was destroyed by an FCS team offensive line.  They played okay against a Tennessee team that was coasting and a really bad UTSA team.

can't have your cake and eat it too... Tennessee is an SEC Oline, coasting or not good play should be highly praised they out maned every player on our d line by 40-60 lbs

They definitely earned it by continuing to recruit even with Mac gone. He needs them this year at least to keep them in contact with recruits or we'd have to start from scratch and be even worse off than we are. It's out of necessity more than anything. 

you're delusional.

Yes, so basically we don't know yet how his recruits will do? Like I said, we needed him to recruit because he's one of the few who was doing it on McCarney's staff. Honestly, I'm just weary of anyone on that staff. He may stay on but for the time being he is here because we need him. You say he was left a bare cupboard, but that argument could absolve just about anyone. None of the players were Cosh's recruits so it's not his fault right?

I see it this way: Mac and co. wanted big, bruising, run-gap filling D-linemen they were accustomed to with B1G and SEC lines, but the best we feasibly can recruit (and I think recruit fairly well) are the lighter (see: quicker?) linemen that are the norm for G5s. I see Patrick having to try and mold these smaller guys into a big boy system that they were never suited for.

Hopefully Littrell will be wise to this and bring in a DC who can play what we have much more intelligently and have KP coach to such.

I think we are customers at bad cafe arguing about how bad the food was.  All I know is for 2 years the defensive line play was poor to bad.  The line was small but adequate to go up against most teams in their conference.   And by adequate I don't mean getting blown off the ball consistently.

      Consistency and efficiency on offense if the biggest concern to me. And as mentioned no go-to shooter. We have long periods of stagnant offense. 10 passes around the horn to end up with a rushed unplanned shot is not a good offense. Multiple missed layups and free throws each game are also a concern. Fox Sports is launching a new post-season tourney this year. Thus, the NIT is changing it's selection process to combat it. (think more Brand name teams)... AI Overview Yes, the NIT is changing its selection process for the 2025 tournament, with the most significant change being the allocation of "exempt" bids to the top two non-NCAA Tournament teams from the ACC and SEC, essentially giving them automatic bids to counter the new College Basketball Crown tournament launched by Fox Sports; this change is primarily aimed at maintaining relevance in the evolving college basketball postseason landscape. Key points about the new NIT selection process: "Exempt" bids: 16 teams will receive "exempt" bids based on their ranking, with the ACC and SEC getting two automatic bids each. Power conference focus: The new format prioritizes the top non-NCAA Tournament teams from the major conferences, particularly the ACC and SEC, to compete with the College Basketball Crown. Response to competition: These changes are seen as a response to the new Fox Sports-backed tournament, which has secured deals with the Big Ten, Big 12, and Big East.

      That’s been the case at FBS…but FCS too?

      True, but the entire North Dakota population is 783,000, which is smaller than Fort Worth. Put a strong football team in Denton and we'll have advantages from being in DFW that are better than being the top school in a small state.

      We will always have to worry about TV viewership. TV dollars are the big divider between the haves and the have-nots.
