Was searching for stories on defensive personnel and came across something

very interesting. A report by Ivan Maisel on UHND stated that Charlie

Weis stated that Kapron Lewis Moore is projected to be our BEST defensive

lineman this year. WOW!!! We know that Ethan Johnson is a 5 star stud

coming into his own and finally gives us sack potential from the down linemen,

but if KLM is even better, holy crap Batman!!!

 

With all the rookie quarterbacks we face and John Tenuta sending the

kamikazes, I'm thinking we might set a new standard for turnovers, sacks,

and lost yardage plays. Agree??

I have been very interested in KLM ever since spring rolled around and his name was on the tip of everyone's tongue.

 

I am excited to hear about how fast our D is playing, and how players like B.Smith, D.Walls, and KLM are turning heads. I honestly cannot wait to see our boys wreaking havoc in a few months!

 

My plan was to be cautiously optimistic about 2009...but I think I got too close to a bottle of HawaiiIrish's kool-aid, and I am starting to think we might be a pretty damned good team.

I wonder if he will be playing in the B&G game next week. I sure hope so, because I would love to see the guy in action. If he does end up being our best DL and Johnson continues to progress, as well as I. Williams getting out of his soph slump, we are going to be Very scary in 09'.

 

8 Days til the Blue and Gold Game! GO IRISH!

weis probably didn't mean "best" DL on the team. I don't think he'd say that KLM is bettter than EJ. As been said many times, KLM hasn't played a down and there will be a considerable learning curve his first year.

The quote can be found on the UHND website under the 'Spring Risers-Defense' title.

The actual quote was....

Kapron Lewis Moore (DE). "Ivan Maisel's report on Notre Dame spring practice this year

revealed that Weis thinks the sophomore D.E. is projecting to be the best defensive

lineman on the team this year. That is pretty high praise with Ethan Johnson......etc...etc.."

well if that's the case than we have to offer more and more big guys from texas. They just grow them better there.

I'm not getting my hopes up too high yet, since we will have 2-3 new DL starters who have very little or no experience.

They have the best facilities in the country in Texas. High school football is

like a religion down there. Many of these smaller towns it is all they have. These

kids are on great weight programs and start lifting when they are about 12 years

old. Very similar situation here in Oklahoma, just not near as big.

Go ahead and get your hopes up Junkhead......talent is talent and we are loaded!!!

This clears things up a bit.

 

very funny my long island friend...............

Like a lot of you I try to read all the practice reports. One of the things I get out of them is that Ethan Johnson is coming on hard as our best DL. If this is true about the staff's thoughts on KLM then so much the better.

Also;

 

The coaches seem to be high on John Ryan...someone who up to now hasn't always impressed...again potential good news. (Edit: I guess that could be bad news too.)

 

One sequence as described in one of the reports sounded like something out of an '85' Bears practice...the defense just shut down the offense for about 8 or 9 plays with about 3 passes knocked down. (I know the defense should be ahead of the offense at this point). I just hope the defense can stay ahead...I don't know of any better motivation for an offense than a defense that will kick their a@# in practice if they don't bring their 'A' game.

 

Anyway just a couple of thoughts...it's still waaaaay early in the game.

It would be nice to see our defense setting this standard rather than our offense. I'm hoping we dominate on both sides of the ball in 2009!
