Good thing the only offense with a pulse our defense will face is Miami and maybe BYU. SMU should be okay, everyone else will be dog shit.

Singer also had Carr connecting a few big time plays with Greathouse

If Carr was the best player on the field, he’s the Heisman front runner that knows the defensive personnel/playbook like the back of his hand

This is what I assume occurred, which is a positive. There’s just no world where this defense isn’t a top 10 unit with this talent, and really should be top 3

Quickly deleting my folder titled "Bedwetting posts to make if the Defense won the scrimmage" from my desktop and opening my "Bedwetting posts to make if the Offense won the scrimmage" folder

Save the folder "Bedwetting posts to make if they dont immediately dominate Wisconsin" though. We are nearing peak off-season optimism, which plenty think can only be cured by instant bedwetting in September.

This site is going to be a Warzone on September 6th when it’s 3-0 ND at the end of the first quarter.

I'm comfortable thinking that the defense was hampered by some things 1) CJ couldn't be touched; 2) some players did play as much, and that we have a very good offense that was able to take of advantages of those... advantages.

The QB can never be touched in practice. When the defense wins/dominates a scrimmage, Carr isn’t getting touched then either.

If CJ is as good as a lot of people are expecting him to be, the offense should/will have days when they beat the defense. This is a good thing.

Bingo. What you hope is the defense took it personally and responds the next time. Iron sharpening iron

Not sure how you took my comment, but yeah, I was saying the offense kicking ass was a good thing.
And it's the opposite of what we were hearing from last year. So I'm excited that the offense is off and humming from the get go. Having CJ back for year 2, is going to pay huge dividends.

All I'll ask is if Matt Jeffery is going to get legitimate reps, can we PLEASE give him a proper WR number?

80, 81, 82 and 83 are unused. It was already weird watching Matt Salerno play receiver for a us a few years back, but the #29 just made it extra jarring.

The offense could fall short of expectations and end up being mediocre, at least for the first few games. But there is no world where this defense isn't very, very good, very, very quickly. There are just too many pieces. It would be a failure of epic proportions.

Our weaknesses on defenses would have been considered perfectly acceptable in other years. Only the DTs, the second corner position, and the nickel have the potential to underwhelm. But in each of those cases (1) the floor isn't that low, and (2) the DC can very easily compensate with excellent LBs, excellent safeties, super-athletic DEs, and the best corner in the country.

I just can't worry about the defense at all.

With all the respect in the world to Al Washington, I'm fully confident that the DT product this year is going to be excellent. Charlie Partridge holds that much of a high regard in my book.

It's also very telling that you had some tangibly stout options to start and all the buzz is that Mukam is getting reps with the 1s with Onye. Partridge fought hard to get him back from the portal, and something tells me we're going to see that unfold this season.
