This is becoming a weekly thing from me, but can't give these guys enough recognition.
Total destruction! And it couldn't have come against a douchier coach in Davie.
The DL is amazing. Granderson, Prosser, Crall, Lolohea, and Hall wrecked them from the DE position. They got nothing outside. Granderson is, well, an NFL talent. I think Prosser may be, too, with some more lbs.
Good work by the interior DL. They didn't get pushed around at all. mucked things up. Holt is going to be very, very good. Javarree, too.
Our pass coverage is great. We are close to the receivers consistently and we make plays on the ball. Gafford and Hall are really good corners. super impressed with them. Gafford is getting more physical and he wasn't last year. kudos. Epps and Wingard - very steady. Priester has been a good player for 4 years.
#24 was making a lot of plays on special teams. Braden Smith. He's going to be a good player
Man, there was like 10 plays there in a row where we were just maiming them. Vicious tackles everywhere. The D made the lobos quit. Awesome performance. And it's going to be just as good next year, imo
Special Shout Out to the D!

Scottie Hazelton is a great coach. Seems like the players want to play hard for him. His ability to mask his defense is awesome. Constant movement at the line of scrimmage, zone blitzing, good pressure coverage. The kids are learning pro level schemes

Agreed about Hazelton. He can defend the read option: Steve Stanards kryptonite. He masks his coverages well, so we have 3 d end interceptions this year, dropping their athleticism into coverage. He generates a poop load of pressure just rushing four. Yeah, a lot of that is personel: best safeties and d ends in the league with a d tackle that gets in the backfield a lot. Still, his schemes are miles ahead of our old sheep dip d.c.
I know we still have a lot of season left this year, but it's hard not to look ahead with this defense.
We have 2 senior starters: Rico Gafford and Jalen Ortiz. We have 2 other seniors in the defensive 2 deep: Robert Priester and Tim Kamana.
We return the entire defensive line, our safeties.....
Barring any unforeseen losses, this defense is going to dominate the MWC over the next few years.

Towards the end the camera showed Coach Bohl all smiles and congratulating Scottie for a great performance. Scottie looked like the game was still in question just as focused as he was in the first quarter. We need to pay him big time in the offseason.

He's been a great surprise this year, that's for sure! Where last year, we had some good players, we didn't really have a complete defense. This year, we do.poke_addict wrote: ↑Sun Oct 29, 2017 2:02 pm Towards the end the camera showed Coach Bohl all smiles and congratulating Scottie for a great performance.

Still need to figure out the run game though.

My hope is that Scottie will stick around, even if he starts to get "better" job offers. He's bounced around, he's advanced his career from FCS to the MWC to the Pac-12 to the NFL. He's made it back to where he arguably had his most success as a coach....with Craig Bohl. I don't know that there will be the urge to job-hop again, but maybe I'm wrong.

It would be nice to know what his career goals are. I doubt he sticks around long, but it would be really nice to see him take over after Bohl retires. He's clearly an exceptional coach.joshvanklomp wrote: ↑Mon Oct 30, 2017 3:27 am My hope is that Scottie will stick around, even if he starts to get "better" job offers.

Doesn't hurt that he's as close to home as he's ever been. Would think that (and the familiarity with Bohl) could keep him around longer than the average assistant.
