New Starters at WR and TB

[Flintstone]

Who do you think will replace Travis White and Kyle Steffes in the starting lineup this year?

[BisonNeil]

Who do you think will replace Travis White and Kyle Steffes in the starting lineup this year?

Majeski and Roehl.

[X-Factor]

Majeski and Roehl.


that would be a good guess. Majeski has been steadily improving. Williams is another possibility for the long ball, but probably not an every down WR yet.

[NDSUFREAK]

HECK and Roehl

[99Bison]

I believe heck was the other starter last year already.

[TheDoctor]

Belquist?? Is he ready??? ;)

[lakesbison]

DJ BABY!!

when are we gonna see a media report on him!!

[CaBisonFan]

Who do you think will replace Travis White and Kyle Steffes in the starting lineup this year?

I'm with BisonNeil....Roehl & Majeski. In time, they'll put some speed on the field, but these two guys showed last year that they are gamers. They are real Bison players. Just what we want. I couldn't believe Majeski last year.

[X-Factor]

What Bisonguy has said about RB was echoed again tonight on WDay.

Bohl says Roehl will be the starter to begin the season but expects that to change for the 3rd game. Bohl says Paschal has rare talent and if he can grasp the offense, which appears likely, it would be hard to keep him on the bench.

Also notes depth in the defensive backfield and a good general understanding of the playbook.

That's all for now!

If Paschal takes over at RB, who would start between Roehl and Jangula at FB? I assume Jangula is coming back healthy.

[Herd]

If Paschal takes over at RB, who would start between Roehl and Jangula at FB? I assume Jangula is coming back healthy.

Jangula & Roehl = interchangeable parts with both getting starts. By game 4, I predict that Roehl will be back at hit FB positon with Paschall, Brower, Bling, and DJ taking over the HB position.

[Bison53]

Jangula is very capable of blocking and
catching the ball at TE.

[Greenie]

Heckendorf and Majeski --- starting WR; main backups Williams and Belquist, with some Washington and Schultenover mixed in

If Jangula is healthy, then he and Roehl will handle FB

Paschall and Roehl will be the primary RB, with some Blincoe and Brower mixed in

Redshirts won't be pulled off McNorton or Voigtlander unless people start getting injured

[WYOBISONMAN]

I suspect we will see Jangula at FB. He did a heck of a job prior to his injury, and from what I have heard he is back and should be quite capable of some stunning performances this year.

[BisBison]

I'm going way out on a limb. Cinque Chapman starts by the 3rd game. I may have to go into hiding :hide: :hide: if he doesn't at least keep his act together this time, but here's hoping he does.

[Thundarette05]

Didn't I hear or read that Parsons was primarily going to be WR this year since he is too valuable to be left off the field? I wonder where he will fit into the mix.

[Flintstone]

I suspect we will see Jangula at FB. He did a heck of a job prior to his injury, and from what I have heard he is back and should be quite capable of some stunning performances this year.

If Roehl is not the starter at TB, I think he will be the starter at FB but we will see both of these guys quite a bit.

[SirHinn]

If Roehl is not the starter at TB, I think he will be the starter at FB but we will see both of these guys quite a bit.

Any chance we see Rohl and Jangula on the field at the same time with one of them lining up at tight end and the other atFB? That'd be pretty scary.

Wasn't that just Hallstrom's opinion about Roehl? Or did Bohl actually say that? I thought it was just Hallstrom's take.

Anyway, whoever is best deserves it, but I'm pulling for the West Fargo boy!

Bohl said that currently Roehl would be the starter, and it would take someone to show a lot to change that.

Hallstrom expects someone (Paschall, most likely) to become the starter later in the season. My opinion was formed using some of Hallstrom's comments.

[ol' ball coach]

A little something from the ol' ball coach. I was in Fargo this past week,watching the Bison's first 4 days of practice. By the way, Fargo is a nice place, and the weather was great. Now let's talk football. I don't know much about ND football; highschool or college. What I do know is, Texas football; highschool and college.

Have any of you guys been to any of the practices? I don't think so; because you all are not even close to what's going on at the TB position.

1st team: Roehl, Blincoe, and Brower are working with the 1st team.

2nd and 3rd team: Chapman, McNorton, and Voigtlander are working with both 2nd and 3rd teams.

Paschall has only practice for 1 day, out of 4. he has not been on the field for the last 3 days. Paschal is having some issues with the NCAA, about a transcript from the other schools he attended.

McNorton and Voigtlander seems to be coming to grips with the offense, and are catching on just fine. As for Paschall, he is behind the 8-ball; and has missed 3 days of practice.

If you all just come out to a few of the practices, and watch the backs go through their drills; everyone will see why I think, that it's just a matter of time before DJ McNorton get's his shot.

Just look at the vision that this kid has, and the slash and dash.

[Gully]

Didn't I hear or read that Parsons was primarily going to be WR this year since he is too valuable to be left off the field? I wonder where he will fit into the mix.

He'll come in and run reverses, be a decoy on reverses, and then run the Florida offense....option out of the gun.

Thanks for the info. I'm hoping to get to both scrimmages, so I'll keep an eye on all the RB's.

[mjh]

Nice to hear you were up for a visit "Ol Ball Coach" I hope the place and facilities looked good to you. I hit alot of practices and I agree with you.

[NDSUstudent]

I don't see Roehl moving back to FB, I think Bohl wants to keep him at HB. I think Roehl will be the feature back until somebody proves themselves enough to spilt time at RB. From there on out NDSU will have a two back system, my bet is on Roehl and Paschell.

[Scooter1]

Roehl is the guy right now, and I pitty any defense that continually has to tackle that guy. Something tells me that Brower may have something to say about getting more playing time. You don't see many errors caused by this young man and he always seams to get some extra yards. He may be the dark horse in this one.

I'll just go by what Bohl has said in interviews, Paschall is a talent. I expect these transcript issues to be cleared up soon.

God, the RB spot is deep! Roehl, Blincoe, Brower, Chapman, Paschall, Mcnorton, Voitlander...

[BisonNeil]

I'm going way out on a limb. Cinque Chapman starts by the 3rd game. I may have to go into hiding :hide: :hide: if he doesn't at least keep his act together this time, but here's hoping he does.

Hee, hee, good one. BTW, that's me on the ladder with a saw

Agreed, see Bohl's comments in Thurs Forum:

The strength is back in his knee – and so is his starting spot. And nobody is happier than Tyler Roehl, last year’s starting fullback.

Head coach Craig Bohl said as long as Jangula is healthy, Roehl will stay at tailback, where he is beginning fall practice as the starter. Even if Jangula were to have a setback, Bohl said it’s not automatic that Roehl would return to fullback.

“It would make us re-assess the composition,” Bohl said.

With all these quality guys competing for a starting TB position you can't doubt that the two that come out on top will be excellent players. Almost feel bad for those who have to wait because there probably is not much separating them in total ability. Same goes for the WR position. I just hope that whoever replaces Steffes and White can be consistent go to guys who rarely lose the ball, always make an important first down, and rise to the occasion for a big play or TD.

Agreed. I've seen a little, and I've also heard from others who have been watching.

I hope McNortan will see some big time playing time this year. We're young at RB, and I would hate for a situation to come up where McNortan doesn't get to play, and then we end up losing him via transfer because he wants to go somewhere else and play. This kid can be a special type of RB with the potential he has. You can see the explosiveness in this kid everytime he touches the ball.

Obviously I'm never going to argue with the coaching staff, because they know more in their little finger then I will ever know added together, but I just cannot get excited about Roehl as a starting TB. He seems to me as a poor man's version of Kyle Steffes, and I loved Steffes. But I would love to see more explosiveness from the skill players, and we have it there with some of the young guys.

I could only wish that Roehl moves back to the FB position, and we can let these youngs guys loose right away.

[westriver bison]

I haven't seen a practice, but agree with Silk when it comes to Roehl and what I would like to see at tailback. I think we need breakaway speed and elusiveness at that position. Remembering last year I don't think Roehl offers those on at this level.

I disagree, I think we need a good mix at back. A guy like Roehl who can come in block, catch the ball, and just be a grind it out type of back. Mixed in with somebody who can be a home run threat and give the opposing team just another wrinkle to prepare for.


I also think some don't realize what kind of athlete Roehl is, I would wait a while before labeling him a poor mans anything.

Let's not take any thing from Roehl; the guy is a beast. He is not a poor mans anything, the guy has some skills. He runs hard on every play; and I'm sure he will do a great job at TB.

But this is how I see it after watching all the running backs for 4 days:and this is just my opinion.
Just what are we looking for in a TB?
If you are looking for a TB to just hit the hole and move the pile;and run up the backs of your o-line; Roehl and Bower are your men for that.
If you are looking for a TB to just hit the hole, find a seam in it; cut back and make 4 or 5 defenders miss, and get to the end zone: DJ and paschall are your men for that. These two guys will be your play makers, just watch the way they run; and the vision that they have.( the way they see the field )

Then there is Blincoe and Voigtlander: Blincoe is a little small for me, but he's a quick guy; and it seem like it don't take much to make him fall. He makes good cuts, but after that he seems to fall down a-lot. Stumbling after he is touched. Voigtlander is a big back with good speed,and gives you a little of both types of backs.
THis is a win, win situation for the NDSU staff , and all the bison fans; you pick your poison and just be happy with who ever gets the job. This is college football, and every winning football program uses 3 to 4 good TB's

[ol' ball coach]

If you all are wondering why I didn't say anything about Chapman; it's because , he want be in this mix at TB this year. You all will hear about it soon. we started with 7 TB's, and now there is 6.

[westriver bison]

A guy like Roehl who can come in block, catch the ball, and just be a grind it out type of back.

Sounds like a real good fullback to me.

Thanks for the feedback ol'ball coach. Without seeing all the guys play in person (some only on video), I would probably have the same comments and concerns. It is truely great that the Bison have a problem like this one......deciding which of these gifted athletes can play on Saturdays. There is definitely a wealth of talent at tailback. Hopefully it brings out the best in the runningbacks and the coaches pick the best guys for the offensive scheme. I am just starting to wonder if Blincoe can be developed into a return specialist as a backup and eventual replacement for Shamen. Assuming Blincoe has good enough hands he could also be brought in on some pass plays.

[SDbison]

hmmmm? Must be more issues, or he is not up to the challenge?

[BisBison]

hmmmm? Must be more issues, or he is not up to the challenge?

Damn, I was really rooting for this kid.

[Bisonguy]

Hmmm......

From the WDAY 10:00 sports-

Cinque's off the team again (academically ineligible), and Roehl is currently sidelined with a knee injury. Paschall is impressing the coaches, and DJ might have his redshirt pulled......

[Bisonguy]

To expound on Roehl's condition, he missed practice today with a sore knee. Bohl doesn't think it's serious, but is concerned.

[tony]

I hope Roehl heals up fully before the season starts. The guy plays with total abandon.

[Scooter1]

Any word on who is stepping up at the WR spot?

Who is impressing?

How do the incoming freshmen look at WR?

[sambini]

Alex Belquist is having a good fall camp.

[stpaulbison]

i'd like to see belquist get the #2 spot

[Bisonguy]

Well, looks like this is turning into the fall camp update-


From the WDAY 10:00 sports:

Roeh's knee is OK.
Paschall still continues to impress the coaches.
Richardson is turning some heads at DB
No injuries.

[tony]

Sounds like Tuesday was a good day for some guys to get reps at halfback with Roehl resting, and Blincoe banged up a little and Chapman hopefully concentrating on getting a degree.

[mn-bison]

Where does Parson's fit into the WR mix? According to Kolpak's blog, "Ryan Parsons looked more like a wide receiver than a quarterback-turned-wide receiver."

Could be a lot of recievers seeing playing time this year. With Majeski being the only senior this year, we should be deep for a couple of years to come...

[imported_Bisongold]

I'm not sure why people think that anyone can become a receiver in a few months. Give me a break! There is so much more to it than most people realize. For Parsons to become a receiver is much different than letting him learn 1 or 2 or 3 plays. Yes, he could maybe be good at an end around scenario. But what does he bring to the table that the receivers that have been on board for 3 or 4 years don't bring? I remember last year everyone was so pumped for Parsons ( and I am only using him as an example) to run an end-around and he actually did OK. But after he was injured, Majeski did it better twice in one game!! So my point is, why do so many of you think that Shamen or Parsons are going to be awesome receivers when many others have been in training under a great coach ( Reggie Moore) for a much longer time?? Many of you probably don't realize how good of a coach we have in Reggie. Just let the system work!!

[imported_Bisongold]

Here is another comment that I have to get off my chest. Why should you have alot of receivers getting playing time this year?? This was how BaBich ran his offense for those years...running a different receiver in on every down. Tell me, why wouldn't you want the best receivers in the game all the time? They certainly would have a better chemistry with the QB and your odds of success would be better. I used to get so frustrated with the multiple rotations into the lineup of the receivers which never resulted in better success! The " playing time" should come on blowout games whether we are winning handily or losing by a large margin. Otherwise, I want to see the best receivers ( just like everyother position) playing most of the game!! They earn that by being in the program and paying their dues. Yes, they also have to be better but if they are not, then why are they still in the program.

[met1990]

It may be true that it does take more than a few months to learn the nuances of the reciever position, but it is possible. Look at Matt Jones with Jacksonville Jaguars. Played QB for four years at Arkansas, but was drafted in the first round to play receiver...

It can and has been done, so "let the system work" and don't discount someone just because they have not played the position their entire life.

[X-Factor]

Coach says Seneca Walace, backup QB for Seattle, could start for the Seahawks at WR. But no doubt that the position is difficult to learn with so many different routes/blocking schemes.

[BisonNeil]

There is, however, a school of thought that mulitple wide receivers in a rotation, all of which are capable, keeps the defense off guard. They aren't as able to learn tendencies. In the Babich years, we didn't have a lot of quality receivers as we do now.

[tcbison]

Kolpack said yesterday on the Bison Media Blog about Parsons:

Thoughts from this morning's practice:
--Ryan Parsons looked more like a wide receiver than a quarterback-turned-wide receiver. He looked more natural in catching a couple of balls, one over the middle and a nice sideline grab that got the attention of the coaching staff. "We saw some signs of promising actions today," said head coach Craig Bohl.

[silkamilkamonico]

How come we never hear anything about Gary Williams, or the freshmen Warren Holloway(he wiill likely RS anyways), or Shamen Washington, or any of these young explosive guys at WR?

Kyle Heckendorg, Dennis Majenski, and Alex Belquist might all be fine WR's, but I see them all as similiar possession WR's, and am wondering who our deep threat is going to be, or is our passing game could to be short patterns?

I'm getting a little worried about the young WR's when I see these guys like Belquist making a push with Majeski and Heckendorf.

I just filed it away with everyone that cannot spell Roehl or Steffes.

[KC_Hats]

Ryan Parsons is fast and athletic too. He could prove to be a deep threat as well.

Dennis Majeski was a hoops stud at NDSU that Silk and I watched back in the good old days......I doubt it was an error, I loved the reference. Good work Silk!!!

An excerpt from Kolpack's blog:

--Freshman receiver Gary Williams caught another long bomb and continues to look like he will contribute.

[Bisonguy]

Ryan Parsons is fast and athletic too. He could prove to be a deep threat as well.

He did so in the scrimmage today.

He's also going to cause defensive coordinators migraines when he's in there.

[Bisonguy]

Shamen was also pretty effective as a deep threat today.

[Tatanka]

Shamen was also pretty effective as a deep threat today.
Had a drop or two and got absolutely creamed in the last play of the scrimmage but overall looked good. Still faster than greased lightning.

There were several plays run with Parsons in at QB (with Walker at WR) after a shift. Opponent D Coordinators, commence with teh pants crapping.

[roadwarrior]

I think that we will be deep at both WR and RB positions. And that is a result of great recruiting the past couple of years.

What more can I say than football season has a way of creeping up on me. Every year I'm completely out of the loop and then bam opening kickoff is all of a sudden here.

You gotta stick around Bisonville more in the offseason ;)

[Bisonguy]

From WDAY 10:00 sports tonight, Beliquist has moved past Majeski and is the current starter at the Flanker (Z) receiver.


Earl has moved back into a starting spot at corner.

Tyler Henry is out 2-3 weeks with a knee injurty.

[Hammersmith]

Here's an article:
Belquist, Vandal move up chart (http://www.in-forum.com/articles/index.cfm?id=175736)

[stpaulbison]

nice ++++++++

[tcbison]

I thought Majeski really came on last year with his performances at UC Davis and SDSU. However, I wonder if Majeski is just better suited as the 3rd wideout like he was used last year. Is Belquist more similar to Travis White? I trust the coaches but I really don't know much about Belquist.

I have a feeling we might be seeing more passing this year so we will need both Belquist and Majeski. Hopefully, Schultenover is ready to contribute as well.

All and all this is good news for depth and competition.

[heymch86]

And Shamen and Parsons, too!

Does anybody think we have the receiver position well stocked for 2007?

For the most part every position looks pretty well stocked. Maybe a question mark on D-line. The only other question mark I see is a back up QB close to the caliber of Walker.

We really don't know what we have at backup QB as we haven't seen Mertens play in a game yet. Hopefully he'll get a lot of time in mop-up duty this season.

For the first game, they may be a little thin at the LB position. Humber is out (Kittleson starting), and Henry is hurt (backup MLB, 2-3 weeks out). Matt Anderson is sitting behind Maresh, who else is waiting in the wings @ LB? There are only 6 returning players (Mays, Humber, Maresh, Anderson, Henry, and Kittleson) at the LB position. The remaining are true freshmen...

Just think what it will be like in 2008 when we only lose Majeski!!

To clarify... we only lose Majeski in the receiving corp. There are other seniors. Majeski is a great player and is extremely important to this team. He is also a class act!
