ONLYU GIVE US SOME SUNSHINE

[Anfernee]

On this cloudy day, literally and after the Manny Bowen news, make me feel better about the linebacker situation. 

[MineralUte]

Care to expound?

[Utesbyfive]

Um… Read some more threads?

[Duhwayne]

Can you point to his post? Just scanned five pages and couldn’t find it.

[Utesbyfive]

Oh. I think his thread title has a misplaced ‘S.’ By the thread body, I think he’s asking ONLYU to GIVE us some good news.

[Duhwayne]

Gotcha

[Anfernee]

My bad. Fat fingers.

[Utesbyfive]

First day of camp. He’s probably busy.

Unfortunately I think all of them have gone radio silent for now.  Lloyd, Mata’afa, Lund and Bernard will just have to step up.  Trennan Carlson, the JC transfer, is also rumored to be very good.  The players are there, we’re just lacking experience.  Similar to the offensive line.  Next man up.

On this cloudy day it isn’t 101 so I don’t need to put deo on my nuts.  

[Anfernee]

😂

[Chidojuan]

This is the stuff I’d recommend.  Was a lifesaver in Hawaii.

Couple things…

1. Obviously not optimal to have Bowen decide to walk away BUT Lloyd has known for a while that he was in the mix for major playing time, really an injury away from being the starter so has been preparing as such and is ready

2. The D line and experienced backfield takes a ton of pressure off the linebackers so they really get to fly around and make plays this year. Similar to last year. Cody Barton wasn’t exactly a technique sound LB, he missed the mesh point more often than he hit it but we all know he could hunt.

3. We have plenty of bodies, just somewhat inexperienced. That said, every other position group has that experience to help coach up or cover for little mistakes here and there. Won’t be much of a drop off and really is a blessing in disguise for next year being able to return a couple guys with experience vs starting from. scratch.

4. We’ll be fine is the easy answer. It’s more complicated than that I know but plenty of guys that can run and can bang so we’ll be fine!!

Oh crap… the “We’ll be fine” response.

[ironman1315]

Remember last year when Utah won the south and you left this board for a long time. That was nice.

[whitlessham]

Your silly..I never left

[ironman1315]

You sure Pace, because I didn’t block you and I didn’t see a post starting from eh roughly the middle of the Oregon game until Northwestern.

[Chidojuan]

KNEEEEL!!!

Are you ever really happy with the program?  I get having high expectations, but yours seem more unreasonable than most.  We’ve seen our depth get better and better each year we’ve been in the conference.  We also just won the south for the 1st time(obviously the goal is to win the conference).  It seems that you expect us to contend for a playoff spot each year and that just isn’t realistic.

[Anfernee]

I blocked him but I’m pretty sure I know who this is directed towards. I was tired of negative energy.

[UtahFanSir]

Of course. Just when I was afraid of slipping into a funk, you show up to point out the silver lining. 😘
