Maybe we will be able to win this game with some room to play with. Wonder what the new defensive cord will do different?

I would play seven linebackers and four defensive backs, and leave our big men on the bench. Those big guys just can't handle the cut blocks and I am sick of loosing two or three every game against the service academies. Enough already.
If you want to play the big guys, let them play fullback or Hback and pound them.

I hope they make cut blocking illegal. The day that happens, the service academies should just stop playing football

VG plans on giving the midshipmen a pearl necklace. ND 38, Navy 9.

reason i will bring this up because we all wondered why in the hell the players were lining up half standing when we played Navy and thought this was a disadvantage being off the ball ....in listening to Jaws yesterday on a talk show and then again today on svp and russillo today he stated that san fran lined up 1 yard off the ball because the seahawks oline is great w/ cut blocks and this actually helps....i personally think it would be the opposite, but then again i'm not a former nfl player, analyst or coach

If you're a yard or so off the ball, you protect your knees. When they lunge at you, the trick is to put your hands on their should pads, keep them at arm's length, and push them down into the ground while keeping your legs back.

Wasn't really sure where else to ask this so figured this was as good a place as any. When will there be the cool schedule banner with opponents helmets near the top of the home page for this season? Always enjoy that and can't remember when it is put up or by whom. Thanks!

I'm bringing my father and girlfriend to this game. You guys think it is best to just get the tickets through Navy's website?

I haven't posted in a long time. Hi guys.

I don't know why but I seriously think Navy can beat OSU in the week 1 opener. Am I insane? I've already placed multiple bets with OSU homers, getting odds of course.

The odds look alot better with no experience at QB for OSU.

i'd definitely have a punt on Navy to pull the upset, Ricky Dobbs gave pOSU fits a few years ago and Reynolds is legit, could be fun to watch :)

Got great tickets to this game. Never been to ND away game, but now living in VA it's the closest so far. We're gonna make a weekend out of DC, and take the metro into the game. Any suggestions or recommendations for pregame/post game bars?

I had an awful nightmare last night that we lost this game 11-10!

Wtf?

This young defense against the triple option scares the shit out of me. However, if we don't run for at least 250 and win by a gazillion points, I'll be disappointed.

Our current scheme and personnel are far better suited to stop Navy's offense than Diaco's ever was.
