Glass is half full approach that the Defense is dominating. It can also be a sign that Shurmur is a bust and the offense will struggle with his scheme and play calling.

Could have guessed you'd show up with your Shurmur hate at some point
If it makes you feel better, what I'm seeing doesn't look like a "Shurmur offense."
I'm pretty sure the offense was far ahead of the Defense throughout camp, last year.
There is a quiet confidence that this defense is going to be legit, the pass rushers and DL in particular

Yep, the defense is usually ahead quite a bit this time of year.
Except when Travis is playing offense, he's telling the rest of the squad what defensive calls are coming in from the sideline
Probably vice versa, too, when playing defense.

It's not hate. Lack of trust for sure. I have been pretty quiet - wait and see approach. Certainly hoping for the best, I would REALLY love to be wrong about him.
This kid is gaining some attention over the last couple days. I wonder if he's pushing Staub.
That pass officially puts us in contention for the National Championship!

Fun fact and opinion. Fact: The top 4 Colorado receivers (Wester, Sheppard, Hunter, Horn), are collectively top 5 in the nation for receiving yards production returning from 2023. Opinion: Just by looking at them, the OL and DL folks absolutely pass the "getting off the bus" test regarding size.
Nice arm
Patrick Mahomes clone!
I'm feeling pretty confident that the secondary and edge will be pretty dominate this season. That middle of the defense is a concern. The best we can hope for at ILB is average to slightly below average. There seems to be enough depth at interior dline that they can rotate bodies in to plug the interior better than last year.
If they could get a slightly above average ILB and interior dline, this would be a top 3 defense in the Big 12
I think the middle of the DL has a chance to be very good. They are running 2-3 deep of veteran guys who can play. Agree on ILB. Feels like an average position group
i love that y'all are saying that the ILB group will be below average. Bentley and NHG seem average but are vets who have grown. Trevor is a leader who knows ball and has done everything to fortify his body for the position and seems to be in the right place over and over. Jaylen Wester is an undersized solid athlete with the desire to do more. With solid to solid plus DL play and a plus secondary behind them this group will be PFF monsters. There's a chance the zealous coaching blows it all up, but I dont see this defense giving up 25 ppg. we are going to lose some games but this team is so much more talented and focused than last year. if the ball bounces wrong we win 8

If the dline pans out, the backers can be better than average.
So they are average at best but might be held up by better play around them.
Don't forget small and poorly coached!
Only the starter is small. They all are poorly coached though
It's one throw against the 3s. That said, I told you all a couple of days ago that Staub isn't exactly sharp so far. We'll see.
Brady Kopetz sighting!
He also threw a pick to Mathis in the other clip. So I guess he's a highlight QB!
I hope you are right
Which is why we went into last season knowing we needed to score a boatload of points in order to win a game. I am very encouraged by the fact that we know the offense has upgraded from last season but that they're struggling to get over on our defense.
