In general, how do you feel we are doing with OL recruiting currently? We know who we have on the roster currently, but what are we doing well and what are we not with our current prospects? I'm a dude who holds firmly to the philosophy that a defense wins championships, and that's a beautiful thing. But it can't without an OL that controls the tempo of the game and the line of scrimmage on the other side of the ball. I know this is basic and well understood by almost everyone on the board, but curious what those close to the program are seeing.
I believe Lindgren was the OC from day 1 under MacIntyre and got demoted to Co-OC. Going with a TT style is a major overhaul of the offense. You can throw in a few plays but if you go with that offense you have to really commit to it. I also am not sure that Chiavarini is an expert in that offense - he was not there that long.Its not just recruiting-its coaching. I don't think Adams has done as good a job coaching these kids up when they get here (some of this is on Lindgren getting away from some of the tempo that was so good for us in 2016 last year), and he got a promotion to co-OC that wasn't necessary and was undeserved. Still intrigued with the idea of Chivarini calling plays-more Texas Tech style tempo would be good for this offense.

This will not be a Wazzu or TTech offense. 65/35ish, not 90/10. Speed spread, tight slot, more edge, more RB flares, bubble, tunnel. Think Oregon, Auburn, etc.I believe Lindgren was the OC from day 1 under MacIntyre and got demoted to Co-OC. Going with a TT style is a major overhaul of the offense.

I will hereby strongly disagree with that assertion.I think this is Adams call to action... if the OL responds he is praised, if they falter we upgrade next year.
I think it should be true, but it won't be.I will hereby strongly disagree with that assertion.

If it happens, MM will fall to the bitter end with AdamsI think this is Adams call to action... if the OL responds he is praised, if they falter we upgrade next year.

Auburn? Not even close.

Yeah, not correct. Maybe Auburn for edge and tempo. TCU for scheme. It ain’t Wazzu.
I’m not a fan. Established long ago. Go to practice. You will hear these words.Throw a few more buzz-words in there and you'll regain some of your credibility.
You are the Dan Hawkins of CU fandom. I love your pseudo faux vernacular. Hawg, bring the funk and be the arrow.

Why are all you num nuts so anti-Mike Leach / Texas Tech / WSU? Is he a bit crazy, yes, but he had an 84-43 record at TT, and his last 3 seasons at Washington State were 9, 8, and 9 wins!!! Does his offense put pressure on his own defense, yeah, but I would be just fine with the exciting ride from the Pirate! Straight up, what would everyone vote for as coach, Leach or Mac?
We should all go to closed practices.I’m not a fan. Established long ago. Go to practice. You will hear these words.
I thought the tempo in the first 2.5 games was amazing until Sefo got hurt in the big house. After that we didn’t seem as consistent and committed to tempo...tho we were good enough to win 10 games!I felt like we had something in the 2016 with the way we used tempo and totally set that aside last year.
We should all go to closed practices.
Hawg1 is not a fan. That is very true .
The tempo against CSU in 2016 had the goats gassed after one quarter.
If we can duplicate that, we will win a lot of games. The issue is that tempo only works when you are moving the chains. Go three and out in 45 seconds and you will soon find that tempo is not your friend after all.

Yeah. Lots of things tend to help.Having a phenomenal defense tends to help as well.
Positive first down yards and first first-down are essential. I expect Chiv will have a whole sheet of first down plays, all dependent on tempo situation.The tempo against CSU in 2016 had the goats gassed after one quarter.

That won't be necessary.Two open practices plus a scrimmage.
Maybe we can go together next year. Or this fall.
