Our Defense is Sad

Postby PonyDoh » Sat Feb 02, 2008 10:28 pm

I'm a Doh supporter and understand this season is a write off. I also like some of the talent coming in next year. All that said, all I want this year is defense and hustle. We're seeing basically none of either. These are the things that aren't dependent on talent level. Its like the concept of help D doesn't exist on this team

To say that our defense is sad would be to admit we actually HAVE a defense.

Pete Gillen was pretty critical on the broadcast. you rarely hear that. he basically said we gave tulsa anything they wanted, didn't pressure the ball and weren't agressive. He said each of those things at different points.

Yea, he also said we had to have a PG. We really need to go the JUCO route for a quality ball handler. We're loading up on combo's and have nobody who can handle the ball.

dont have to convince me, I've thought that since the beginning of the year. Not real clear on the Mike Walker signing. prep school kid. man with no position. Easily 20+ players in the Metroplex area every year who can do what he can do but we went to Iowa/Conn to get him.
