You also forgot to mention the Wilson impact on the OL. I still recall the Buffs' Solis last year, admitting he rarely faced a weaker opponent than his own OL teammates.
Finally, you can't ignore Hagan's (and again, Wilson's) impact on Lindsay and Evans. They are much improved and faster, as RBs and blockers. That block that Evans threw into Stanford's Palma on a blitz in the 2nd Qtr. Saturday, was great; seeing as Evans was only giving away 75 lbs. to Palma.

Now, now you guys are being tough on Big Jim when his negativity is just a coping mechanism for all the Buffs woes over the past several years. A number on this board have used this tool to deal with the fact that our team has sucked. Jim just needs a little help from this guy and everything will be fine.

In your opinion, what % of P5 linebackers can consistently shed blocks behind a bad DL and maintain better than half their effectiveness?

I don't have a %, but if fans want to point out a superior LB then point out the guys that can shed and tackle. Gillam his freshman year was that guy. UCLA usually has 2 each season and so on. CU could run just about any LB in the Pac12 behind this DL and the LB would be effective.

Since your primer loves clichés, how about: "Football is all about blocking and tackling." or maybe, "Run the ball; Stop the run and you win football games."

A primer is inanimate, it cannot love. Your cliches work with the current DL that CU puts out on the field. The DB's are very good too.

You like to scratch the surface, but show too much laziness and/or ignorance to provide any depth. Gonzales was only 3 of 4 on FG, 2 of 2 from the 20-29, and 1 of 2 from 30-39; not enough information to show any improvement from the previous season in which he was last in the Pac-12 on FG accuracy. Yes, he boomed the kickoffs out of the end zone which was a good improvment, but the current kickers aren't screwing up on kickoffs either.
