Just curious if you all think it's HIM or the SYSTEM?
I think that Bo Ruud did everything in his power to undo the coaching staff. Since he was a legacy player, and since his family practically run the boosters, he could not be benched. He took advantage of it, and followed some bad advice. He never offered leadership, even as a captain. If you disagree, then explain it.I think it's the system. And it's unfortunate. The guy is a good athlete--he's proved that on returning fumbles for touchdowns. I think with some better coaching he could have developed into an NFL quality player.
Pat Ricketts!?!?!?!?Since he was a legacy player, and since his family practically run the boosters, he could not be benched.
Great point.The entire LB group didn't hold up to the hype brcause of the front 4.
In most defensive schemes, the front fours job is to keep the OL off the Backers by taking up blocks. The Backers than should flow to the ball or fill gaps.
But when your tackles get pushed around by and don't require any double team work, than your Backers are going to have a long day/season.
I'm ready to blame the system. Our linebackers were actually pretty decent last year (though Ruud always had his detractors) and this year they were suddenly terrible... Strange.Just curious if you all think it's HIM or the SYSTEM?
I agree. Never been much of a Bo Ruud fan.I really don't think he's that great of a linebacker. In any system. At times, he does have a knack for being in the right place at the right time but the guy hits like he's made of glass.
Uh, the guy was an All-Big 12 pick last year, and that "sabotage the coaching staff" was done in 2004.I think that Bo Ruud did everything in his power to undo the coaching staff.

I'm dead serious about this. I've watched him at games and on film all season. You watch it, and tell me what you think. It was wicked, man. He walked through half of the plays.
It was the system and the lack of a good D coach. You have to practice real tackling to be able to tackle on game day.Just curious if you all think it's HIM or the SYSTEM?
