I'm not sure what Rangel did between his junior and senior years, but he ran like a completely different back in his senior year who, if he had remained healthy, looked like he was headed for a 1,000 yd. season. I am guessing that what changed was leg strength. He ran much harder and was much harder to bring down. If Rangel could do it, i.e., gain much greater leg strength, I don't understand why other runners have not.<br /><br />-Dr. VAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498801197851744676.post-44288459686986438862012-09-01T09:08:06.409-07:002012-09-01T09:08:06.409-07:00Jake,

However, once again, we hear from blind followers of CU football who hope and pray that we will be good. Yes, in fact, we all hope for that, however, you need to be a REALIST! A couple of posts criticized your analysis of the team and their projected finish in the league this year. These are the same blind mice who said that our massive O-Line last year would guide s to 6-7 wins. And then there the people who say that you don’t know enough about the team this year to make these types of predictions. Seriously??? You are the resident expert! I know that you are just going off the facts. Members of this blog, wake up! There is no greater supporter of the tam than Jake! He’s just a realist! Last year, we lost 3-4 games on pure coaching mistakes alone. This year, that won’t happen! My personal pediction is a 4-6 season (and hoping for a better record). Coach M should EMBRACE Jake because he can rally more of the troops!<br />#1 Lionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01823665832466861213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498801197851744676.post-60748202370698943372012-08-31T19:51:16.654-07:002012-08-31T19:51:16.654-07:00Jake, I just don't see how we can make any rea...Jake, I just don't see how we can make any reasonable predictions at this time when so little is known about the team. Your write-up is a great summary of what we know, but until we have more specifics it is impossible to make any intelligent predictions. Yours is an excellent pre-season summary of what we know, which is not very much. About three weeks from now, we will obviously know much more about this team and where it is likely to finish in the Ivy League race. Having said that, my sense is that Coach Mangurian is an outstanding coach and that the Lions will do very well this season. However, until we have much more information on many different things, my good feelings are admittedly based more on faith than fact.lionrockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05638045977950412294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498801197851744676.post-51372056449336711862012-08-31T14:39:53.385-07:002012-08-31T14:39:53.385-07:00Right now, there is no relationship.

He'll either come around and realize I'm not a threat/annoyance or he won't. I'll just keep on writing either way.

I just looked at Marist's opening day starters and their defensive front three is very big, but I'd wager it's also prone to tiring out.

I do agree, the defensive front seven look pretty strong and my help with the defensive backfield ... one question I have is where Childress fits in .... if he's a DE, the Adebayo is odd-man-out .... I do think Padilla and Napier will get a lot of playing time ... I wonder if one of the two-way players could be Childress (at TE or H-back) ....RedTiger61https://www.blogger.com/profile/13152246005492374178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498801197851744676.post-87597995522302875502012-08-31T13:59:27.640-07:002012-08-31T13:59:27.640-07:00Nice write-up, but we have too little information ...Nice write-up, but we have too little information about this year' team to make any predictions.
