I must admit that I'm not posting as many of these as I could. It all sounds like last year, very upbeat and brimming with confidence. I'm not sure where the confidence is coming from given last year's record. Part of it may be the media who loves Brent compared to the LR. Brent has opened up the media's access to the team and you can tell they like it.
Unless I get feedback to the contrary I'll probably just post a few of these.
I agree. I want to believe the hype & I do truly believe in Venables, but last year was the same response. I’ll gladly accept seeing these things come true in the fall, but I’m going to have to see it to believe it.

I think a lot of these guys were surprised how much was required to learn a real defense. Teddy was talking about Stutsman and saying that he played well last year and has a high ceiling but that a lot of his bad plays were the result of not having a complete grasp of the defense. Clearly the Grinch defense didn't demand a lot out of them mentally and a lot of these guys didn't have the football IQ to play well in BV's defense. Some are starting to catch up while others have thanked BV and the other coaches and, after having discussed it with their families, decided to enter the transfer portal.

We never got to see him, but T.D. Roof was the guy who came here to be able to show his fellow linebackers how it was done in this defense. Season-ending injury in August kept that from happening.
It would be nice if all the a-holes who keep telling me I should buy an electric car would put their money where their mouths are and buy and drive one of these deathtraps that are exceedingly far from being environmentally friendly.
We all know the electric car thing is a sham, from the electricity and mineral resources to the mining activity that are not sustainable.
Porsche is on to something with their synthetic fuel, it’s clean to make and burn. There’s no modifications needed to run it in a internal combustion engine, they will run it in all their race cars this year. It’s currently expensive at $40 a gallon, but they say they will have it down to $7 a gallon within a year and a half, and it will only get cheaper from there.
I know there is an effort for this, but I don't think it will be possible with the American paper note being the currency standard for the globe.
There’s billions and billions of greenbacks in circulation all around the world, how pissed would the cartels and other crooks around the world be if they became worthless.

seems i recall a post citing BV as saying that stutsman didn't even come get a playbook until late in the season, after BV basically told him (paraphrasing here) that if he didn't just want to be a "funny guy" and decided to live to his potential, then he need to get serious about his game
Psalm 34:14: "Depart from evil, do good, seek peace, and pursue it."
"what deliverer could break the power of Pharaoh?"
They need to have wheels, punt returns last year was a pleasant surprise , considering we only fair caught for the previous 10 years.
relegating your returners to fair catches allowed LiaR to not spend time working on that aspect of the game in practice, more time for his precious little offense- you can tell what suffered under his tenure, D and ST
this is one reason i always felt that Beamer has given too much credit- seems to be doing well rn but i was never sold on him here

That's why they jumped him late at night and took baseball bats to his knee so he couldn't play. They were yelling "Alex Grinch says hello!" (never reported obviously)

I think BV didn’t even realize the remedial level the defense was at. & BV’s system is college level reading when our D was reading The Three Little Pigs. I really think that was a huge part of the problem last year. I think we’ll see a really big jump. 🤞🤞🤞

That won't be for long either. China now trades with Brazil, Russia, and others in the Yuan. The dollar is being pushed out as we shrink back from participating in the energy market. Weak men make hard times. Look who has weak men in charge...

I've heard from more than one source that the biggest surprise BV and staff had was how low the football IQ of the defensive roster was.

I've long believed the stepping stone to all the synthetics, or even hydrogen, is natural gas. Clean-burner, naturally reproducing resource, already used so the retrofit and resupply are known and affordable.
This is one thing I love about BV. Getting these home town kids to stick around. Kid's a preferred walk on that had offers from Army and Air Force. I'm guessing with NIL, it's easier to get these kids to stick around. Use a little NIL to cover what the other financial aid doesn't. Since he qualified for the military academies he has to have good academics. Put together some Pell Grants, a few small schollys and NIL and you have a home town boy on the team without wasting a scholly. Even if these kids don't ever see the field they add to the culture and make great practice squad players.
