When Petersen talks about the defense he uses words and phrases like effort, being physical, playing hard... His quotes on offense are mostly about scheme, philosophy, details... It's always been kind of irritating Fuck guys, it's just so irritating. Most of the players on defense are dawgs with feces in their throats. They play with emotion and fire. Most of the players on offense are nice kids.
Thankfully, the offense should be a lot better. I was encouraged by the end of the year. It's still a concern though. I still remember the pass happy bullshit and when even the doogliest doogs on this board wanted Smith fired.
I'm a fan of McGrew and think he will be good, but you can't guarantee a guy 5'6" 160 can play RB because Napolean Kaufman and Jaquizz Rodgers were also small. There aren't many good RB's that small. McGrew's speed and lateral quickness are incredible, but he's going to need to be properly utilized and he might not be a RB.
I'm still in lipo mode on his size. Darren Sproles is probably a better comparison for El Blanco, and look what he did in college:
Collegiate statistics
Year Team Games Attempts Yards YPA TDs Long
2001 Kansas State 6 28 210 7.5 1 38
2002 Kansas State 13 237 1,465 6.2 17 80
2003 Kansas State 15 306 1,986 6.5 16 73
2004 Kansas State 11 244 1,318 5.4 11 74
Career 45 815 4,979 6.1 45 80
Not saying he will--don't twist--but if he has the quickness and speed then I can't see why he wouldn't be able to take 150-225 carries by the time he's a junior.
