This year's team is just pathetic..sorry to all you Walker supporters but this is the worst the Aggie team in over 20 years. Even Mumme's 0-12 team was more competitive. I feel like Mike Knoll is back again. I had plans to travel to Las Cruces for a couple games this year but I cancelled those plans after the first game against SDSU. I'd rather save my money for basketball season.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835899929137685677.post-285967018961933132010-10-21T13:14:29.901-07:002010-10-21T13:14:29.901-07:00I'll tell you what's tougher to build on d...I'll tell you what's tougher to build on defense or offense?<br /><br />A murderous schedule!!<br /><br />McDaddy Boston,<br />No more money games!! <br />Give Coach Walker a damn schedule where he can have a shot at being succesfull!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835899929137685677.post-22329135649005541022010-10-21T11:19:27.335-07:002010-10-21T11:19:27.335-07:00The Baltimore Ravens defense would struggle if it ...The Baltimore Ravens defense would struggle if it was forced to remain on the field for prolonged periods of time.<br /><br />The key to a good defense is not size, it's having a ball control offense that limits the number of plays that the opposing offense is able to run!!!<br /><br />we won three games last year due to running a ball control run oriented offense. Let's go back to that and you will see a great improvement in the defense.<br /><br />The fortunes of the defense depend on the team finding an offensive identity. 6 games into the season and we still don't know who we are?<br /><br />Pound it or pass it?? Make a choice!! I say pound it, and pass it when you are forced to. This approcah will keep you in more games.<br /><br />So far the SDSU game was the only game that featured sustained drives. (defense could not get stops).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835899929137685677.post-29790531330966755992010-10-21T09:23:30.849-07:002010-10-21T09:23:30.849-07:00Are linebackers are small, real small!! There is ...Are linebackers are small, real small!! There is no way Padilla is 6'2. no chance at all. I am 6'1 and standing next to him, he was at least 1 in shorter than me. The other 2 Linebackers are not 5'11 either. Its inflated on the roster, all teams do it. But They do have heart. I think both freshman Dylan Davis and Anthony Joyner will have a huge impact on the Aggies defense next year. None of the linebackers so far have done anything to impress me, and get ran all over. Give our future and the young kids a chance. We have a good young core of players, give Walker some time and LOOK OUT!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835899929137685677.post-43562669690219021952010-10-20T20:10:50.051-07:002010-10-20T20:10:50.051-07:00Yes, it's tougher to build a defense but, defe...Yes, it's tougher to build a defense but, defense wins championships!<br /><br />Keep in mind that the kids need to beef up to play.<br />Look at David Niaumatalolo. He was starter under Mumme and when he came back from his mission, he needed a full year to bulk up.<br /><br />Yes, it takes time but, I like the blueprint!<br /><br /> JEFEAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835899929137685677.post-4380786920153042072010-10-20T19:21:44.126-07:002010-10-20T19:21:44.126-07:00They really need to recruit the defensive end and ...They really need to recruit the defensive end and safety positions. DTs need only to clog up the middle so what they have currently will suffice. Existing corners are also be good enough.<br /><br />So the plan for next year would be to move Savage and Fils to the linebacker postions where they have prototypical size. Bring in the new safeties and defensive ends and the defense should be fine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
