What's also important is that the coaches find someone, anyone... who can be an outstanding pass rusher. That is a huge void right now. We have good, not great pass rushers. Champion teams are not mediocre at rushing the passer.
We might just have a young TE who should be playing DE. I'm really disappointed with Tony Pierce. I thought he was ready to breakout into a dominant force this year. Reed Ryan is a huge disappointment along with Loshiaka Roques.
The defensive interior is weak. With all do reverence and respect; is Kramer getting soft in his old age?? Is Nick DeLuca the de facto S&C guy now??
For the first time in forever, our OL is significantly under-sized. What's up?
Our receiving corps isn't scaring anybody. The Bison have young talent, maybe they need to leave the comfort zone of the guys they are most familiar with and see if a couple of the younger guys might just breakout and excel. This Bison team has a disturbing dearth of All-American and All Conference talent.
Arizona already showed the world that this Bison team isn't the dominant force of year's past.
Coaches need to cowboy up and start drastically improving this team or, they should be preparing for extreme wrath.
Maybe a previous poster was right in saying that a loss at home of the Marker might just be a much needed wake up call to the team and fans alike. I really hope NOT! The AZ game was enough for me.
I get the feeling that our coaching staff is content to just prepare to win on a weekly basis; to do just enough to get by, instead of continually pushing the team and the whole staff towards being great. This is the NDSU Bison Football Tradition! An unparalleled juggernaut.
There is nothing remotely resembling, legendary, about this year's team.
It just feels like a dullness is creeping in. Like there is a slow leak somewhere and the pressure is diminishing. Somebody needs to stop the leak and amp up force.
I'm worried.....
I agree with some of what you say here. Mostly the references to not playing our best talent and coaches being soft on doing so just to make everyone feel good. It used to be about putting your best players on the field, and even switching people from O to D (flip that) if that meant getting your best players competing.
