Absolutely none.

There is a wealth of experience and talent ready for Spring and some outstanding recruits coming in for the Fall.<BR/>10-2 or 9-3 definitely in reach.<BR/>A win in a big bowl game would move the Irish up to the top tier of CFB.Way Back When NDnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13626080.post-42861437872078558382009-01-26T09:47:00.000-05:002009-01-26T09:47:00.000-05:00No Themes, No Mottos, No Excuses.<BR/>The Irish have the horses at all positions on both sides of the ball and for all aspects of special teams play. I think Charlie will "Weis" up and rise up to the challenge this.

It will be nonstop action and the energy will be very high. There won't be one piece of the program that won't have some exciting factor to look out for. It is gonna be fun!IrishHonornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13626080.post-77509380015261091882009-01-26T00:37:00.000-05:002009-01-26T00:37:00.000-05:00I can't wait for Cwynar and Newman to start getting on the field. These two will make a difference, a big difference! Hafis Williams will help a lot too.goldendomernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13626080.post-60201634317916201152009-01-25T15:36:00.000-05:002009-01-25T15:36:00.000-05:00Harrison Smith will shine in the secondary; he has all-American honors written into his future. I hope the boys are right about Jonas Gray, he is better IMHO than the other backs (don't know about Wood)and will show it. Yes, it is do or die for Charlie. I think this team will bail him out, however.Smiling Irishmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13626080.post-63002243451845994112009-01-25T15:28:00.000-05:002009-01-25T15:28:00.000-05:00NOTE TO Anonymous: They say he'll be back for summer enrollment. We hope so. He's a good kid and a good player, but does have a lot of tough competition.OLD SHILLELAGHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03625205792937117374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13626080.post-76376806845220826492009-01-25T13:51:00.000-05:002009-01-25T13:51:00.000-05:00I thought Gray was not enrolled!?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13626080.post-11054435045646175882009-01-25T13:12:00.000-05:002009-01-25T13:12:00.000-05:00I believe the players did give us a starting defense lineup: Walls, HSmith,McCarthy and Blanton in the secondary; BSmith, Filer, Poslusny and Motta at LBs; and Cwynar, Lewis-Moore and possibly Ian Williams up front. I think that Neal and Johnson will be upfront along with Lewis-Moore, Fleming at a LB spot, and McNeil as a D back.<BR/>Whateever, there will be depth this coming season.

It would be interesting to see a D-line of Cwynar, Lewis-Moore and either Newman or Williams at NT. Dan McCarthy will shine as will Fleming. Your critical comments about Charlie or on target, but let's leave him alone one way or the other until after the Nevada game. However, put him in the box above the fray.Blue &amp; Gold &amp; Greennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13626080.post-77702397405064885112009-01-25T11:27:00.000-05:002009-01-25T11:27:00.000-05:00ND has talented vets and back-ups going into spring practice and a smattering of incoming frosh join the ranks for fall practice. This is a do-or-die year for Weis, but I believe the depth and determination of the players will save his job and also place the Irish in a major bowl game. I agree with the Gug players assessment over-all, but not sure about Cave or Cwynar.Irish Uptownnoreply@blogger.com
