My amateur eyes hadn't realized how important Huynh was to that defensive front up until he went out. Instantly, there was no push up front and there was no need for interior double teams. It was striking.

Great news their injuries weren't as bad as originally suspected! I was getting a bit worried!

Hughes and Moore were OUr starting safeties and Hughes might have been playing a tad better than Moore.  Moore needs to stay healthy to add some experience back there but Carpenter and Kristoff and Ingol have all had some decent pt recently...and Carpenter has been a beast.


The D-line is the biggest puzzle to me  with questions like:


Can Meyers stay healthy  the rest of the way?

His being out of the Beefaloes game really hurt.



How much time will King see at DT?

If we can get a nice rotation with King and Hastings and Taylor and others we should be OK.



Will we see Blake Jones in passing situations?

He's short but played some decent DE in high school.



Why haven't we seen Crutcher at DT?

Some of our DT's are light and I just can't see Crutch getting pushed around that much.



We'll know the answer to these questions and will find out if the naysayers are right or wrong on Saturday.

Thanks UpSan.......sounds like it isn't as much doom and gloom as the Chicken Littles are proclaiming....hopefully the schemes and personnel combinations work.
