So the coaches have at least three years to fix it. We might be mediocre on the line in 2020 at this rate.
Pursell, Moretti, Fillip, Sherman, Ray? I guess we'll just give up on those guys.
His evil twin.
I am not giving up on any of them. Just saying Adams does not deserve much of a pass here. He was assisting Bernardi before he officially became the OL coach.
"Not ****ty" should not be that high a bar to clear.

The Buffs are 4-0 *in spite of* the OL. In no way because of it.
CU is 3rd in the Pac in Rushing Yards/Game (37th nationally) and have given up 10 sacks, which is about average in the conference. They don’t pass the eye test to stand up against the better teams in the conference, but they have been better to this point than people want to admit.
Never an Ebree fan. But thanks for taking that angle.
I’m talking about the OL.
I don’t hate MM. I just think he has a ceiling that is not consistent in either words, behavior or results with the goals set by the AD. He’s a good guy.
Misdirection off jet sweep and fake belly play with h-back coming across the formation to seal the edge on Montez TD run on North end was simply outstanding. Saw video from north end through LB eyes. So many things to process in very little time. All the eye candy set up great blocking angles including Russell on edge. Please keep running the jet sweep, Chiv. Can’t wait for throwback off this action. .
Four years ago, we were mediocre to bad at every position. Now we are mediocre at OL and maybe slightly better than mediocre at DL. Not all positions are upgraded simultaneously, as much as we would like them to be so.
I’m ok with the progress.

Right or wrong, I give most of the credit for this to Chev/Roper improving the playcalling and protection schemes along with Montez seeing the field better (getting us into better plays & quickly reading his progressions). But I do acknowledge that the OL may also deserve a good deal of credit. Hard for me to credit that until I see games like the Wazzu win in 2016 when we were able to dominate and control by running the same power over and over that they had no answer for.
I would term the 2018 Buff OL as "servicable", which is a hell of a lot better than the 2017 OL I would have called "straight up bad by any measure".
He had 3 freshman out of the 5 in the game at times. If Moretti was able to go, that may have been 4 out of 5.
Should we fire him before the ASU game or after?

My first post. A few things:
- Wilkins is overrated and can be rattled.
- I'd absolutely pack the box and make WIlkins throw, or try to. SDSU beat ASU largely because of their stout run D.
- I like Ted's idea of using Donovan Lee on the edge once in a while. Hate to see that guy under-utilized. He's a good punt/kick returner too, as I recall.

Since he has a two-year contract through the 2019 season, I say he has that long to get **** figured out. What say you?
Youth is always a convenient excuse.

They should fire Bernardi and Adam's following the ASU game. Only problem is I'm not sure they have quality replacements lined up at this point in the season. Unfortunately they should wait until after the regular season.
I'm giving him the season! I'll save my negativity for the off-season.
Likely at the end of the season unless substantial improvement. Loyalty will get you beat.
Good plan. Who matches Harry?

Good question. I don't know who our best DB is right now.
After last year’s WR group, I think Chiv is all over this including his mantra of “nothing to say, lot to prove”.
have to get open. LS has been WIDE open on most his catches. Get open, Montez will get You the ball. At the beginning of the season Montez was known for sharing the ball with multiple receivers.
WTF was that?

https://www.teamrankings.com/college-football/stat/opponent-rushing-yards-per-gameThis is who is coming to Boulder with the scum devils - Gamboa and Landman better strap up -
Eno Benjamin, So., RB, Arizona State over 300 yards rushing in one game.
Oregon State dead last in the country.
technical issues by CU. Fixed.

Correct. Not a problem. Lots of receivers still getting the ball, including RBs. Brown looks almost as good as Winfree and McIntyre is having a great year.
No ego issues on this team anyway.
