Sights, sounds from Wednesday’s practice | TheGazette

Thanks for posting. Fun to just get a little tease of some of the drills we are doing.

"This is definitely the defense doing some blitz stuff. I wouldn’t read too much into it. It was the first-teamers."

Ok, I won't read too much into it, but everything that I've heard, read, and see in these videos tells me the changes will most definitely be noticeable to the fans.

I like the pace at which the offense is drilling at. Also, practicing as one 11 man unit.

I think the changes in the off-season have been more than sufficient. The system was successful, it just needed tweaking.

I just have a good feeling about the OC change despite most of the criticism

Who have you seen them play?

 

[Golfer]

I have a good feeling also. A hunch. An intuition. Nothing more. I've seen them practice. I'm encouraged, and a 7-5 this year, if that is what it is, won't be as disappointing as last year.

Or it will be just as disappointing? It probably will, but I'll know next December I guess.

When you pay a coach $4 million a year, 7-5 is disappointing.

True.

Also true is any time salaries are mentioned, some on here get very upset.

I'm not quite sure why. I understand disagreeing. I don't get the rest.

 

[vegashawki]

We should hire Zook he's available for probably under 2 mil and get us to 6-6 7-5!

 

[vegashawki]

Perhaps pull another rose bowl outta his bag of tricks

 

[ICbornNraised]

7-5 sucks if the coach is getting 2 mill. the $$$$hit is getting old

 

[HawkinGoferLand]

I get what you're saying but 11-2 was just a little over 2 yrs ago. 7-5 last yr was expected somewhat given how many guys from the 2010 team were in NFL camps (around 10 wasn't it?). 8-5 in 2010 was the real frustrating one and that frustration carried over to 2011.

 

[vegashawki]

The frustrating part besides mediocre results has been lack of quality recruiting classes (not saying they have been horrible) but other teams also lose people to the NFL and teams don't take a s*** because of attrition. We develop players I get that, but we need more ready guys we can't consistently build 220lb guys into 290 DE's.

 

[vegashawki]

I know we got some big guys this year... But that's rare and I think everyone is aware of that.

Salary argument yawn....

 

[OUTofTOWNHAWK]

Yes I make 4mil a year, so what. I just farted over there if you want to smell it.

 

[vegashawki]

Over there smells like freshly deposited man milk. Everyone can take their 4 million a year and shove it.

 

[JHHawk]

Salary argument yawn....

I agree. Besides,they were 6-1 at the games I attended...solid.

 

[gohawksjm]

The attrition at DL really hurts but it appears we shoved that problem over to NU.
