Good for Nathan, 100% deserved! I'm not surprised at all. ...In a different thread a few weeks ago, I said that -- to my eyes -- he looks like a future first round draft pick.

Interesting thing is this: watching Miami, it was plain to see that their offense was no better than the Gophers' offense in about 1/3 of the seasons under PJ. ...And many years the Gophers' defense is on par with what Heatherman rolled out there. (Heatherman is a hell of a DC -- wish he were...

I've never put anyone on ignore on any platform, ever. I may judge someone to be dishonest or biased or motivated by some particular agenda or just an a$$hole... But why would I care? It's the internet! Live and let live, and enjoy the discussion/banter/bickering.

I need to pen a more comprehensive piece about Medved and how he's opened my eyes to coaching... but, for now, let it be said that I've not seen better coaching at MN ever.

Checking in to represent for S19.

Agree about DT -- although I haven't really looked at who we've got on the team right now, I just am reacting to the departures. I think the LB squad is solid/impressive, as is. Right side of offensive line, unless we think Carroll or Williams (or both) is/are ready to be inserted? (Just...

Off the top of my head, I believe that if you review the bowl game and check DT's touchdown run, you'll see that Tony Nelson was at right guard and Nathan Roy was at right tackle. This was probably some sort of jumbo package, as Roy plays left tackle predominantly. In any event, Nelson was...

Totally agree about the HUDL… Braiden noticeably pulls away from defenders. Not sure how that’s a debatable point.

I've linked to a timestamp where the relevant segment begins -- the segment about Braiden is about a minute or so.

I think Roy looks like a future first-rounder. So, yeah, I'm not worried about left tackle or left guard -- at all. ...We just need to get Brett Carroll plugged into the right side, and see what other big-time OL transfer we can attract for one year.

He's a freshman pocket passer on this particular team. If you can't juggle those variables in your tiny minds and conclude "A"... then no one can help you. Sit tight. The best is yet to come!

PJ has pretty much said that Braiden Stevens will see the field next year, because he possesses rare speed.

Correct. But I get his point: artificial intrusions into labor marketplaces rarely works. But in the case of professional sports leagues, it can and does yield positive results. Owners get richer every year. And the cap goes up every year -- meaning the players get richer, too. Everyone...

You're a good thinker.
