....I will be glad when that guy graduates. His instincts and feel are horrible.
He's definitely no Brian Lee.
Good riddance.
Seriously

....I'll be here. Hopefully you've taped the game and you can go back and watch my observation.
Plus just about every play action bite he's had in previous games.
SERIOUSLY
and Peace.

Considering they have to cover for the front 7, they don't have much choice.calpoke25 said:

Amen Formal. Amen. If the D could play as a unit, we wouldn't have to be worrying about Pro biting down.
i actually think chris pro blows alot of coverages. Just look at last years bowl game when they scored on the trick play pass & this year agaisnt utah on the flea flicker. I don't know if that is his fault I blame that more on our d scheme because we allow running plays to get into our secondary. Maybe if he didn't have to run stop so much he would be able to be better at coverage. All being said he is pretty bad at coverage.

"Pro".......hah!!!!!!....has been biting since he checked out his equipment as a Freshman.
How many career picks for a guy who has played that many snaps at that position????......passes broken up????? Smacking his hands together in disgust because he was too late on a read?????. Leads the country.
Seriously......the dude takes terrible angles and his thought process on stopping the run has been horrible his whole career.......it's way toooooooo sloooooowwwwwww. Too bad we never had an adequate replacement.
Ruff will be more disruptive next year........period.
Peace.

I about got into a fight with someone at the BSU game for saying the same thing, He's responsible for the deep middle and has blown it numerous time throughout his career.

He's overrated because he's a wyoming kid. Hendricks is overrated as well. I saw BYU RB's run right through his arms a bunch. Instead of 3 or 4 yds, it's 8. I thought Schober did well along with Gary. I initially thought the BYU WR pushed off to get his separation, but it looks like he flat out burned our CB, I think it was Marcell. We lost this game on the first drive of the second half and i believe our next possession was on the 40 as well.

Coaches are paid. Players are not. You should not be calling players out by name. If he's as bad as you say, then he should not be playing or the coaches should have found someone better. It's too bad the site adm. didn't delete your entire thread. To call one of our own players an mf is about as low class as it gets. I hope never to meet any Wyo. fans like you.

He gets his scholarship paid for and $1,075 a month in cash. Yes he is paid.bladerunnr said:
I thought Pro played well last year and appeared to me the only one who could close on the ball carrier at an angle and shut a play down for short gaines when he was one on one. He certainly isn't as productive as he was last year and when you focus just on him during a game, you see him missing tackles he didn't miss last year. (I know, theory is that every team we've played thus far all have better players than we saw last lear).
I saw him take a poor angle on one of BYU's returns and he clearly decided that he was going to let someone else make the tackle. I expect DB's to hesitate cleaning up a tackle, but not Pro. There's something amiss, I think.

i will add that he actually drives thru when tackling vs lunging and getting carried to the endzone like others...he has some weaknesses in his game like others on the team, still the best we have at his position.

And probably the best overall tackler on defense. When he hits people, they go down. Gary is pretty good too.Fullback41 said:
Remind me, which was it that intercepted Kellen Moore during the BSU game? I don't remember which.

. . . . so I guess you can say and post whatever you want to post. But just because you have a right to post it does not mean that you should post it.
I am mostly a lurker here, but I have been an active poster on a different board (for a different school). Everyone gets to set their own rules, but my rule is to not call out a player by name on a college board. As long as the young men are doing the best they can, that seems inappropriate to me. Yeah, they get a scholarship. [Well, most of them do, but not all of them.] But they work pretty hard for that scholarship. They make mistakes, certainly, but those mistakes are already pretty public. Most of us do not have jobs or avocations where our mistakes are caught on videotape for everyone to see. That is tough enough without our fans piling on.
As a relative newcomer to Wyoming sports, I am very impressed by the passion of Wyoming fans. Here we are in the smallest state in the union trying to run with the big boys. It is an uphill battle, but tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of people are passionate about the Pokes. That is a wonderful thing.
But I hate to see that passion turned against one of the kids who is doing his best to make the dreams of those who love the Pokes come true. As a very passionate fan, I have been tempted one many occasions to blast off against someone from one of my teams in a public forum like this. But that just does not seem productive.
As fans, there is little we can do to actually make a difference. Most of what we say here or elsewhere is not very important, because the coaches and players (and, sadly, officials) determine the outcomes of games, not us. But negativity toward one our players seems counterproductive, especially in a small state where that word might get back to that player. [Shouting at officials who are hurting our team with bad calls? Sure, both here and at the game. Criticizing coaching? I guess, but I think we should keep that within reason, too. But not players. Not college kids trying their best.]
Nobody has to follow this concept of avoiding criticism of players, especially by name. Feel free to tell me I am a fool and to keep my opinions to myself. That is all they are. [I will even admit that I have a new bias these days, as I am a parent of a member of the team (though not one who has had the good fortune of playing). So I am admittedly more sensitive about these things than I used to be when I was in "pure fan" mode.]
I do have a different rule for praising a player from our team. That, to me, is entirely appropriate. Since you raised the issue of Chris Prosinski, I will share my opinion, for what little (if anything) it is worth: I think the kid is a heck of a player. If not the best tackler on the team, he is certainly one of the best. I don't know if you have every tried to tackle someone in open space, all alone. Very possibly so, if you played football at any level, especially as a linebacker or in the secondary. If so, you will have to admit that it is not an easy thing to do. And I think Prosinski does it about as well as it can be done, by both hitting and wrapping up (instead of that "hit hard, but nothing else" approach that is so common these days).
Yes, it is true that our entire defensive backfield, especially the safeties, gets suckered in by run fakes and flea flickers every once in a while. But I don't think it is realistic to ask our safeties to do so much run support work and then expect that they won't fall for run fakes every once in a while. That is part of the joy of having a strong running game--it makes play action work.
If there is ever a time to take a shot at a college player on the board of fans for that player's team, this is a rather unusual time to take a broad shot at a defensive player. Our defense was outstanding yesterday. That loss stings. It really stings. [And I will be the first to admit that it undoubtedly stings even more for you who have been bleeding brown and gold for a lot longer than I have.] But taking out that understandable frustration on one of our best defensive players misses the target, in my opinion.
