dont jump on leahys neck too hard.
im personally still on the fence.
our offense looks great.we have put in some quality players,and weis can run a great scheme offensively.thats not really the question.
our problem is defense.and thats where nobody can seem to figure out what the problem is.is it just that weis is not hiring quality guys as our defensive coordinators?or should weis be running our defense as well?
our defense has been lacking any kind of consistency since weis has been here.whether it has been the recruits or the coaching,or just the conditioning of the players.no one really has an answer.
im scared for this weekend though.no one has a clue what will happen.as everyone knows,lately we've had a terrible track record against MSU,although there's absolutely no reason why we should.we CANNOT lose on Saturday.if we do,weis might be gone midseason.which would be a disaster for the program.
Let me put out my 2 cents. I think our program is headed in the right direction.The only reason we had any kind of success in 05 and 06 in Weis' first 2 seasons were because we had one of the best qb-wr combos in ND history. Without them we probably would've had similar seasons to last year.Then in 07 in the 3-9 debacle we had absolutely no one in our offense with any shred of experience,so Jimmy got pummeled,threw a lot of picks,and was forced into a bad situation his freshman year. Last year was just a late collapse by the players. We shouldve had 10 wins last year, but lack of experience once again let us down.
Now we're up to 2009. We start off great against a highly overrated Nevada.Our offense is flying,but our defense struggles.Same thing against Michigan. I had my time to calm down over that unnerving loss.And it really cant be blamed on any one person. Yes,there was some bad officiating.Yes Tate cost us a lot with his *expletive* showboating.But Weis didn't.On the last drive,Allen had a hurt ankle so he couldn't run,Gray had already fumbled,and we couldnt trust the game to a freshman in Wood.That meant we had to throw.We couldnt give them the ball back and expect our defense to stop them,we just couldn't,plain and simple.There were a lot of factors resulting in our loss....but don't jump ship.
we still have a chance at a 12-1 season.repeat,yes we can win 12 games.It all starts with Saturday.We need to have a DECISIVE win.It can't be a scrape game.We have to come out and show everyone who we are, and what ND is all about.We need to shut up the critics like gaymay,and rule the land like we once did.
It's up to you Weis.I have faith in you, as do a lot of people.
People,ND supporters everywhere.We ARE moving in the right direction.Make sure you look at the big picture and not at a little blemish in the radar.We have come a long way since Willingham and Davie.And since we're IRISH, the only thing left I can say that I hope gets through,and has meaning to all of us, is HAVE FAITH!
