Will the '13 Defense Be A Disaster??

[bucket]

I was stumblin' around drunk down on next years defense, and I thought if they could only be 09' bad I'd be ok. Then I looked at that 09' defense, realized this group was better, and felt 

Look at the starting line up in 09'

DE: Payton Kirk
DE: Eric Childs?
DT: Jeffrey Fitzgerald(stud)
DT: ???
LB: John Houlik(this guy was like 5'9)
LB: Alex Hrebec(slow as molasses, stutterer, 5 heart)
CB: Josh Moore(stud, but dumb)
CB:Stephen Harrison(I liked him)
S: Tysyn Hartman
S:???

That's only ten guys, but they basically only played with ten.

This defense is umpteen times better.

We will be good

Would be awesome if we were good.

I'll be ecstatic if our defense is mediocre.

I think Slaughter is going to totes step it up and be all good and stuff.  And folks will be like, "omg, Blake Slaughter, right?  where did he come from?"  And then the camera will switch to Arthur off in the distance in street clothes, arms crossed, just nodding with a huge grin on his face.

he's sucked for the last 6 years, tho.

I submitted an idea to Currie about having the Lynch Mob adopt AC DC's Thunderstruck as their anthem so that every time the Mob takes the field, we get it full blast from the BSFS speakers.  Would be so badass. 

Mob makes a big play? Stadium cheers/chants: nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh

Three and out?  Stadium cheers/chants: nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh

the fact that nobody has yet commented on this gem tells me the board is slippin.......as to Thunderstuck ...a big fat    and Frank's band could help on "the sound of the drums" part......

I love Tre, but holy rough ridin' dramatic video. An ACL tear is a fairly normal football injury. He didn't get Gary Bertier'd.

really hope we could start using this as a benchmark to indicate the seriousness of injuries

Prof. Arthur tho

IMO the mob should do just fine. Yeah, there are plenty of new guys but most of them good some good playing time after the Cats sodomized most of the teams last year in that second string rotation. You'll see plenty of Zimmerman, Mueller, Walker and Evans. Im confident in them plus the youngins.

And to the haters of Walker, I believe this is his year. Both he and Zimms will be leaders on the field. After Tre's injury last year, he grew into one of the teams vocal leaders.

Even if the mob does not do so hot, the offense will surly pick what the defense cant cover. Go cats

are there any really dominant defenses in the big 12?  would be sweet if this was another 2008 type big 12 year with just ridiculous scores and yardage totals that make sec fans angry.

SEC mad bruh? 

[Pett]

We can get by at CB with Daily, Evans, Miles Jr., and Roberts. Safety will be alright if somebody can step up along with Zimm. LB and D-Line are the question marks. Is Truman starting LB quality? Don't get my started with DT, even though I think Chaq Reed will have a breakout season

I am not sure we will see typical Big 12 offenses this year.  I only think of OSU's offense as a sure thing.  UT's has the pieces but Ash has is still a question mark in my mind and TCU was pretty bad against the better defenses it faced and I think the Pachall/Boykin thing could become a big distraction. 

The rest of the conference will all have new QBs - compare that to '09 where more than half the league had talented QBs.  McCoy, Gabbert, Landry, Reesing, Potts and even Jerod Johnson at A&M look to be better than the majority of the QBs in the league this year.

   I love it when SEC fans fume about Big 12 offensive prowess and claim it isn't real football.  This always makes me happy.

Gotta give credit where credit is due, it's very fun to watch Aggie's Big 12-style offense humiliate SEC defenses.  They look incredibly average when they don't get 5+ weeks to prepare for the best offense they're going to see all season.

Blake Slaughter lived in my dorm last year. Nice guy

[ChiComCat]

With "bend but don't break", having someone with Zimmerman's experience to make sure people are in the right spots will be a big plus.  To get the mistake needed to kill a drive though, our pass rush is going to need to exist which is my biggest concern.

Our pass rush has always been disappointing. Even last year qbs had some ridiculous time in the pocket against us.

Pass rush... you are you kidding.

NDSU rushing offense will test your D .

We aren't worried about your NAIA rushing offense

[Wildcat0313]

Not very concerned about this, I mean really the system is back to full on Snyder recruits almost and there are many experienced players back on the field even if they weren't starters. Everyone is acting like we're putting freshly graduated high school kids on the field.

[Jackstack99EMAW]

If we'd been able to keep Spaight and Campbell I'd be much more confident about this defense.
