DJ MCNORTON........

a lot of people didnt think to highly of this kid. He plays with so much heart and gives it everything on that field. He has taken over games for us and i will give credit to the offenssive line but he has made some big plays. He could have given up after his mom passed away this last summer but after it happened he came back to fargo to be with his family aka players and coaches to prepare for this year and be with people that mean something to him. He has grown as a person and player.

Best of luck the rest of the way DJ help bring us to the playoffs!!!!!!

This is not a cheap shot towards DJ but we would probably be close to the same spot record wise with or without him. Instead of 5-3, we'd probably be 4-4.

The bigger player that we obviously have missed and made an impact on the first play is Gratzek. He blew up the backfield on the very first play and was huge in keeping them to 27 yards rushing. I think if we had him healthy for the games he missed the following would have happened: W against WIU (I can't remember when he got hurt though), blowout W against YSU, and W against ISU R.

DJ was huge. Gratzek was huge. We need Matt Anderson back and healthy unless the young guys can step up

His example is what really sold me on him. After practice, he's the one hustling to be the first one done with drills even though he's not the fastest back out there. Need someone to play 10 different positions? He's your guy. He is the player I want my kids to look up to.

DJ and Gratzek make the team go on offense and defense respectively.

Now if Vigen could figure out how to get Holloway and Howard the ball. The offense would really be moving. Warren Holloway is one of the best WR in the league and is vastly underused. This guy can do all the routes, not just the fly patterns. If Warren played somewhere like Western Illinois -- he would catch 10 balls a game. Keep Warren and Howard in most plays, and bring in Mack when going 3 wide.

Last thought -- it would be nice see Lang as the backup RB. He shows a ton of potential

I have nothing against Jose, but he drops back looks at his first read. If not open he takes off.

Pretty easy to defend if your a Defense.

Wait a minute. I respect your football IQ and I think we are probably on the same page here.....but they asked Brock to throw almost ZERO over the middle throws. NEXT TO NONE. He was amazing on the deep ball, and had a connection with Holloway.

Now we have Jose, and he throws a PERFECT.....PERFECT over the middle throw to Mack who DROPS it. Probably the best throw of the year for Jose. I expect more of our staff getting these guys in position to succeed over the middle. Different routes. I agree, Warren would be a 70 catch kid in other systems. He was on that plan with Brock.

If Titus plays over some other kids this weekend, I am going to puke. I hope that question is asked tonight on the call in show. I have seen Cooper Wahlo look amazing in practices, you can't tell me Mack is showing that much more. Guys is disappearing in games.

So it is easy to rip the QB play, but it isn't the WR fault we are not going over the middle. We have to open up that route. Oh, and don't get me started on Veldman. I have predicted he would be the next great TE for too long. Time to be that kid. You aren't a freshman anymore. Need you big man.

I see what you are saying but it's tough for these kids to step up if the coaches don't see the potential, build a game plan around it and get it solid during practice. I see too many coaching issues and the vanila playbook as holding the Bison back first and foremost. These players need to step it up, but in my opinion so does the coaching!

FWIW, I was one of those guys talking up DJ in the offseason. Not to say "I told you so." :D

DJ is a beast and he makes us two-dimensional. As I've said before, Paschall was my hero, but how many 200-yard games did he have? Did he stretch the field as a legit receiving threat out of the backfield? He got looks from the NFL for a reason, but DJ is proving to be almost a better weapon, if not simply a different one.

My question - where would we be without Dan Eaves and his seven takeaways?

Yep. Eaves has been the playmaker on defense we missed last year. He's only a junior too, isn't he? I don't know how fast he is, but he's definitely got decent next level height.

7 takeaways???? I can only recall 3 Ints and no fumble recoveries??

Agreed, Holloway is one of the best receivers int he MFVC, but he is a route runner more than an improvisor on rollout passes. Regardless, the OC should be finding ways to get him the ball 8-10 times a game.

It seems like the rollout passing game utilizes Howard's ability sliding across the middle when the play breaks down, which tends to happen in the Mohler offense.

Jensen was able to better utilize Holloway's skills in the passing game as a more traditional pocket passer. Some good things happen in the Mohler passing game, but it is a little less traditional, and sometimes a little higher risk for sacks and ints.

Well, he forced the fumble with the big hit at Kansas, recovered a fumble on the sideline at Ill. St., and if I recall he had another FR against WIU or someone. Maybe it's only 5 and a FF?

Regardless, he's made several huge plays that have gotten the ball in the hands of the offense.

I can't believe I actually read those two things. Wow. Really? Seriously? Honestly? Dude, he's the best we got, but that is not saying a whole lot. If he was one of the best receivers and a route runner he would be getting a lot of touches a game.

yeah 4 takeaways 3 ints and 1 fumble recovery. I agree he's made some huge plays, I just didn't think he had 7 seemed kind of high to me. He has made a big improvement from last year to this year for sure.

Here you go...

After eight games, DJ has 10 runs of 20+ yards. (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 26, 40, 41, 53, 67)

DJ Has 36 rushes of 10 or more. That works out to 26% of his carries or about 1 of every 4.

People pointed out the fact that if he didn't dance around so much in the backfield that he could be a better back. He's fixing that problem and it's shown. End of story. He didn't "prove" any of us wrong...in fact he proved most of us right. I'm ok with that.

OK, every player on the Bison FB team is the best in the nation at their position, whether as a starter, second-teamer, waterboy or otherwise. Bring on the National Championship unless there are coaching issues, but, there shouldn't be because Coach Bohl will win the national "coach of the year award" for ALL coaches, whether professional, college or otherwise, and ALL of his assistants will be hired on as head coaches in the NFL just prior to the national championship game. Nonetheless, the team and coaches stay together for the game, and we win the FCS championship, whereupon, Taylor, THE best AD in the nation, petitions the NCAA to allow for a "true" national championship via a 4-team playoff among FBS, FCS, DII and DIII champs. We draw the DIII champs because our over-all rating is better than Boise State. We beat DIII champ, Boise beats DII champ (likely Moorhead State) and we outbid Boise for the championship game. Unfortunately, our students and "fans" either don't realize there is a game or think that it is sold out, so only section 21 comes to watch. The good thing is that tFargo, NDSU and the NCAA agree that alchohol can be served. Given the lack of fans, it is given away to section 21 fans throughout the game. News at 11 on who wins, but NDSU was the big favorite coming in do to its 3-point win over DIII champs--nuf said!

If you can't stand the heat of someone using your own words against you stay out of the kitchen, buddy. You have been down on DJ for two years. You didn't refer to DJ as Dance and Jive in a positive light, you did it to try at illustrate that you thought he was sub par. To say otherwise is just plain ridiculous. People were disappointed with DJ's first two years of progress. You were one of them. No one ever stated that you or anyone called for his scholarship, so don't take that over the top stance to make it appear that your position on DJ was something that it wasn't. The only reason why you want to scratch your eyes out is because it hits close to home and you don't like it.

You are right, I am a piece of work, but only in the fact that 1 of my posts are equal to 10 of yours.

Next up..... SDBison is actually a card carrying member of the Koolaid drinking bus.

And hey, I responded without having to be vulgar....try it some time, pal.

No, the problem is with people like you that think a few of us commenting on where the HOLES in his development were somehow translated to us being DOWN on somebody. Where do you get off pointing fingers like that?

I did not like his dancing and jiving in the backfield two years. I bet a lot more people would agree with that (coaching staff even) then wouldn't. Apparently my two posts in two years is too much for you to handle. I think the guys is a great kid and I'm happy about his adjustments. Where do you get off turning that into something else? And that's my point, that there are a bunch of "every kid should get a trophy" people out there that if a post isn't everything but rainbows and unicorns you start bitching about negativity. Why? I'm entitled to my opinion and I'll say for the third time in this thread that I'm ecstatic with the adjustments he's made.

Get over yourself, scooter and quit acting like you're a moral crusader like 02 used to. You're the one using vulgar language in your posts. Review it.

And for the record... here is what I said. Not sure how this post makes me down on the guy.

"He did dance around way too much before, and like Gully mentions, sometimes he does do it when he shouldn't. I think he's made a great adjustment. I don't think there's ever been any question that he's talented."

Yep, that last sentence must make me a-1 DJ hater. :paperbag:

Isn't that the point? Who has thrown the team under the bus? That's what I'm trying to figure out.

It used to be called, "giving your 2 cents worth". It's still worth 2 cents, even with inflation. It's America, everyone has an opinion and everyone gets a vote so relax, don't take it personally. That's why they make cars in more than one color.

Especially when it's loaded down with the kind of ladies that the OTP guys hang with... (cue the Sir Mix A Lot). :hungry:

All I know is that I put my bottle of Xanax on my nightstand the other day and now it's gone.
Just kidding, SD.
