MU vs K State

WHAT I...


LIKE: Well it seemed as if the Tigers got back to the fundamentals of the game. You know the blocking, catching ,tackling, running etc. They came out smoking and didn't let up on the steam until the final whistle went off. Gabbert to Alexander for the touchdown, is my new saying. These two guys, off course with the help of the team, have shined on many occasions throughout this season. Alexander 10 rec 200 yds and 3 TD's IS one of the top wide-outs in the country. He continues to dominate and will leave his mark in MU history books. Of course with Alexander numbers, you have to give credit to the QB and O-Line for playing a solid game. The defense bounced back as well. As I stated before I think that the Tigers have a future in Aldon Smith at end, as well as a good ball player in Will Ebner at linebacker. The special teams was sound and solid, and as I know that's what any good coach is looking for at the least from its special team.


DISLIKE: When a team comes out and play a solid all around game, it's kind of hard for you to find something to dislike. I'm no hater by any means, so that mean it's kind of hard for me to dig for dirt and hate just to say that I disliked something about the game. I can say this, that the Tigers played a remarkable game, and what ever happened that I disliked, was over shadowed by my likes! Great Job Tigers!


SUGGEST: I'll say it again. Way to go Tigers! Build off this momentum and finish the season strong. With a even playing field in the Big 12 this season, only so many bowl games exist for only so many Big 12 teams. With almost all the teams having identical records, which are bowl eligible, the Tigers need to run the table and get the remaining of the wins on their schedule to be able to get a bowl game this year. Although Mizzou has a great advantage with fan support and a growing program, the bowl committee will still need to see WINS from MU for the rest of this season. MU goal is a bowl!

MU vs Baylor

WHAT I...


LIKE: Well it's kind of hard to like something about this game, when you lose to Baylor.....not to under mind Baylor, they played a great game, but come on Tiger's, Baylor? The offense came out fast and played well in the first half. I don't care what anybody say, I believe Blaine will only get better with Time, like wine! Don't lose faith in him just yet. Dude is a raw talent. As far as my mans D Alexander, like I have said numerous times, he is one of the top WR in the country. It's a saying "men lie, women lie, numbers don't"! D Alexander 13 rec 214 yd 2 TD! Great job DA!


DISLIKE: DEFENSE (clap clap) DEFENSE! Yes I'm rooting for the D, but I think they let the team down in this game. As a former defensive captain and defensive back, I was truly sadden by the play of the secondary. These guys are out there playing with NO confidence. As a former Post Dispatch Defensive Player of the Year, and being rated as one of the top defensive backs in the country coming out of high school, I can tell you a few secrets on how to be successful in the secondary, and it's really simple. Trust in your technic and have a whole lot of CONFIDENCE! My attitude was always a me against the world mentality, but it paid off on the field. The way Baylor ran through MU defense on Saturday should make the Tigers wish that next Saturday was today! The D should have a chip on their shoulders to where you not only want too, but DO pitch a shut out in next week's game. Challenge yourselves, it will only make you better! I also disliked the attitude of the coaches in this game. Yes it is true that it's the players job to go out on the field and execute and make plays, but it's the coaches job to light a fire under the players behind when he is failing to do so! And if he can't do so, have another player ready to go that can replace him.


SUGGEST: Um at this point, I think that MU back is against the wall. My suggestion is to come out and play every game like it's your last. Like you life depends on it. MU still has a chance to at least have a winning record, but they posses little room for error. I would like to see the coaches let their hair down a little bit and throw the kitchen sink and some at the remaining opponents. In football, being conservative won't get it. You gotta be aggressive in all facets. Let's turn the aggressiveness up!

MU vs Colorado

WHAT I....


LIKE: The Tigers came out smoking in this game! One reason for this I believe, is that they where playing a Colorado team that's in struggle mode right now, and who first team players could have easily been the Texas Longhorn scout team players.....I'm just saying. It was good to see MU get off to a fast start though. The team executed the fundamentals, and played hard enough to win. The offense came out with a bang, and D Alexander ( 8 rec 123 yds 2 TD's) continues to solidify himself as one of the top wideouts in the country! D Washington had a pretty good game, and provided a solid ground attack along with D Moore, to help the Tigers prevail. The Defense in my mind, played one of their best complete games of the season. These guys where running and hitting, and looked to be having fun. The defense is also the reason the Tigers were able to hold the Buffs off when the offense went cold in the 2nd half! I continue to be impressed by freshman D End Aldon Smith (5 tackles, 3 sacks, 1 fumble rec)! During my time playing with MU, I've played with and seen some other impressive Smith's that have dominated this position and went on to become solid NFL players as well as dominate college players ( Justin Smith & Brian Smith) ! Aldon is one to watch, and I expect big things from him the rest of the season and the remaining of his career at MU!

DISLIKE: I really don't have a lot to complain about. The only thing I disliked about this past Saturday game, was how the offense went flat in the second half. The Tiger's need to be aggressive the whole game. Remember fundamentals! MU scored 33 of its 36 points in the first half. That mean only 3 points in the second half, and by Coach P standards, that's unacceptable!

SUGGEST:
Well I'm going to continue to say this until it resonate....FUNDAMENTALS! When you have as much talent as MU, the only thing that can stop you, is the the lack of preparation and not executing the FUNDAMENTALS of the game. MU's has a chance to finish out this season strong! Lets make that happen!
