Agreed on the third corner: Cox shifts out into the field side on many passing downs and basically plays nickel, which is insane at his size.
On the DT conversation: the numbers are a bit down but they've been that way for a few years. In 2017, entire DL only had 21.5 sacks. Steidl and Tanguay started every game that year and combined for 50 total tackles and 1 sack. Drevlow and Perry racked up bigger numbers but did we have the depth then that we do now? I remember them playing a lot of snaps.
For next year, I bet Kaczor adds 10 pounds and beats out Mercadel to start; kids a tackling machine when he's been in. I would also guess that Weerts pushes Hankey hard at the mike. Need one or some of the young DE's to develop, but Waege will be a beast. Same goes for the DT's, but I'm excited to see Derritt and Evans.

Fargodome. We need a new indoor stadium like the Tacoma Dome.

Certainly. And defensive adjustments when new QBs come in, particularly ones that aren’t likely to be passing threats.
Re: Weakest point on the team?
Fargodome security clowns who tell the one guy in Section 17, who stands and yells when the Bison are on defense, to sit down.
Re: Weakest point on the team?
I would say the weakest link in this years Bison team is the coaching. Time management, play calling and maybe halftime adjustments/player positioning. (Beginning of the 3 quarter seems to be a gimme for the other teams offense to score points). Now I am in no way saying this is all bad but they definitely need learn and grow which they will. Maybe interior DL would be a close second I guess. Entz is on the right track and will have a record similar or maybe better than Klieman. We shall see.

Well... It's definitely NOT our sixth string true freshman running back.

I'll 2nd that.
Re: Weakest point on the team?
There was a lot of concern over the offseason about the WR group being inexperienced, unproven, and lacking the "wow" player they've had in the past few years with guys like Vraa, Urzendowski, and Shepherd. Can't fault anyone for having those concerns but I'd say they can be put to rest. Christian Watson is putting together an All-Conference caliber season and Sproles and Kepouros have both been very good as well. On the coaches show today they had a graphic that showed that the WR group has accounted for 69 catches for 1172 yards and 6 TDs on the year. Credit to those guys and to new WR coach Noah Pauley on exceeding everyone's expectations.
