THey also said a few times that Demski is being groomed into the 2nd RB/Rec role we saw last year.

Frankly I can't see them running Demski up the gut as he probably hasn't run that way in many years, so that option is probably not as flexible as it was with Flanders.

Funny article about Streveler's start last night from what seems to be a bitter University of Minnesota fan.

he looked great going up the middle last night. They do it to dressler despite injury concerns and have run adams too. They would run my great grandmother up the gut off motion if she was still alive.

Seemed to me like he wasn't really being serious as much as trying to be a little funny, though perhaps he just wished Streve and Wolt would've done just a lil more when they were at UMinn.

Yes it was funny, as I said.

That is a funny article. 

think the guy that did play qb for the Gophers at that time was not very good at all. So smart move by Streveller to leave.

And holding the all time record for receptions in California high school football, is a significant accomplishment

comments are funny too.

Thanks!

I am not convinced that the esks OL is great, I think Reilly is the key there. He is a slippery bugger who is hard to sack and is a leading to escape and keep plays alive.

got that one right.

According to the comments his first start at Minnesota was also delayed by a thunderstorm. Crazy.

they did it multiple times last game. I'm seriously wondering if I am watching the same game everyone else is at this point.

I made that prediction before the game, glad to see it didn't come true.

My definition of "up the gut" is between the tackles, I don't see Dressler, Adams or your Granny running in that territory.  I think they did it once or twice with Demski and he looked alright but I question his durability to do it often.

Theyve done it with all three. they ran dressler up the gut last year after he had come back from injury. 

Of course it cant be out side the tackle and up the gut. 😆

I'd rather take 5'8 and 200lbs Augustine or LaFrance running up the middle to complement Harris - leave Demski as SB, he's already fitting in really well

[JuranBoldenRules]

Demski is a tailback.  Moving to receiver is the conversion, he's fine to run the ball.

Why not 6' and 220 lbs Nic Demski?

Demski had 4 catches for 32 yards in his first game.

Projecting that forward it will be 576 yards for the season.

Not bad, but not really any different from JFG, who was alot easier on the cap space.

And Chris Streveler is going to throw 54 touchdown passes.  Mike Reilly is going to throw for 7200 yards but only 18 TD's, 36 TD's rushing.  Kevin Fogg is going to have 2000 missed FG return yards.  Charleston Hughes is going to have 54 sacks.  James Wilder is going to have 80 carries and Adarius Bowman is going to have 0 catches!

Yeah projecting a guy's stats based on a backup Quarterback's first pro game... ever

That makes sense.

Didn't realize he was 220lb... looks lean

Either way, I still like him at SB - he has nice speed, not sure why you'd want to be designing draw plays for him

I'm pretty much down with getting the ball in his hands in any manner possible with a head of steam and some blocking, same with Harris, Dressler, or really anyone who is smart behind blocking, agile and elusive.  That's how you build an offense that is difficult to defend when you don't have a Mike Reilly at QB, and we don't have that even when Nichols is healthy.

For sure...  I thought the conversation was about making him into a permanent RB/SB type rather than having a fullback - I totally agree that there should be a few gadget plays for Demski

First, Lapo has to get Harris and Streveler on the same page for passing/screens - I think it will happen

According to The Source, Andrew Harris will finish the season with only 108 receiving yards... super depressing... he was so good last year

Yeah but he wasn't a player that the bombers found and then developed so even if he had success this year, it wouldn't have counted.
