@AdamKinzinger I appreciate what a man of principle you are. That wasn’t new to me, but was further exemplified here. I hope we see you in office again - when rationality takes back over.
@THEbadgermaniac Yes…shot show on average for the season. Suspect it would be significantly higher based on last 4 games (young guys experience, some consistency, restored depth…). That needs to be part of the assessment.
@ZachHeilprin@The_Camp_WI Let’s assume we get a Pribula level QB in portal. Are we feeling pretty good with C smith as our QB2 in 2026? Is that the beginning of end of the portal QB hamster wheel?
@ZachHeilprin@The_Camp_WI Great win and effort. How do you explain the extreme highs and lows from the past few seasons? (i.e. - Iowa & Ill in 2025; solid effort mid 2024 then complete collapse late season). Difficult to interpret this as anything but a coaching issue.
@THEbadgermaniac The coaches got a lot of flack, and rightly so, for the early season Oline incompetent. But, I think they need to get some credit for pulling it (Oline) together over the past few weeks, even in the face of more injuries.
Seems there is something systemic going on - lots of changes and presumed improvements in the O coaching staff, but the results just go from bad to worse. I appreciate that we can point to “lots of changes” as cause, but in that you should see some signs of hope.
@ZachHeilprin Grimes has produced in other places and everyone thought he was a great fit here. I don’t see him called out for this O disaster. Am I missing it, or is he being given a pass and if so why?
@THEbadgermaniac I generally agree, but most felt at the time that this was a great hire. Even those that thought the choice should be JL agree this was the next best thing.
@ZachHeilprin question: seems more Fr / RS Fr are challenging for 2 deep roles than we’ve seen the last couple years. ( I think?) Has there been some change in recruitment philosophy and / or development? Or, has luck just shifted in the staff’s direction?
@ZachHeilprin an interesting camp topic would be how you’re feeling about each position group (better / same / weaker) as they end camp 2025 vs end of camp 2024 (as best possible w/out actual game insight). Would help me better sort out hype / reality.
@ZachHeilprin@TheSwing_WI Arguably the best of The Swing and The Camp podcasts you’ve done. Great questions and dialog. It also helps having an open, honest, and thought-full guest.
