(would be a solid children's book title, btw).

Would SLamur be capable of reading it? 

That's the plot. Maybe he can find help along the way from The Curious Mr. Merrieweathers.

So does Burns bring any influences from Toomey and the old Arizona "desert swarm" defenses with him??

I admire your stick-to-it-ness.

I admire your stick-to-it-ness.

I'm nothing if not stubborn.

FWIW, Harper will absolutely be my starting QB on NCAA 11

Cosh's Personality = Aggressive, passionate, on the verge of being out of control imo

DL - Looks much better, Harold looks unstoppable at times, guidry/boyd/kibble all look good on the interior

LB - Hrebec looks pretty good, Bumpas looks like he could play some snaps at olb/de, Terrel could possibly make some waves, and Jerrel Childs looks to be gaining some ground at lb (o coaches didn't seem too excited to lose him

okay, so is this relative?  good compared to whom?  Matt Butler?  It's been stated/speculated that we're going to a 3-3-5 look...and I'm not sure if our blocker-magnet LB's can handle that. 

cosh's personality may be aggressive, but his defensive units at nearly every stop he's been at have been unimpressive at best. 

Our linebackers are crap, not the crap, just crap. No height. We are going to get passed over all year long. Run defense is awesome, passing defense is terrible.

Yeah, I think everyone is getting excited because our 09 run D was so dramatically less awful than the 08 run D.

goooooooo cats

[kougar24]

Run defense is awesome

Besides, how many run-first teams will we face?

Well, in the north, NU, prolly KU since their QB/WRs suck ass, CU, no clue about ISU

^ owned?

[Andy]

if we continue to ball control and own the field position like we did last year, our def should be capable enough.  avoid the big plays and tackle.  basically everything prince didn't do.  with an improved pass rush perhaps that can cover up some holes in the secondary.  i'm optimistic.
