Thanks for the write up Nick. It's a solid review. Btw, I never thanked you for the Offensive Preview. That was solid as well. I appreciate the effort and research you put into these write ups.
"That tells you that the defense kept receivers from getting behind them, but also immediately tackled anybody who caught a ball underneath." Is there a way to look at Yards After Catch of our OPPONENTS to quantify this statement? I love that it's true and you hear Coach Sirmon focus/harp on tackling drills/skills, but it seems the lack of big play could be attributed to the former (keeping receivers from getting behind them) more so than tackling quickly. Thanks.
First, thank you for the analysis. Needed that. Second, ugh. Makes clear what had been my suspicions. I still like our coaches better than most, but the drop off from starters to freshman will be significant, no matter the talent.
Thanks for the thorough analysis and write-up. I certainly hope we can maintain, at least, last year's level of prowess but it will be tough to replace tackling machine Evan Weaver. I think the secondary will end up being a strength as Scott and Anusiem played well towards the end of the season.
Great write up as always...Gracias! Go Bears!
Another great friggin' write-up. Thanks Nick!
