In 1983 I went to lunch with then Defense Coordinator Fred Von Appen.  It was just before the season started and we asked how the defense  looked. His response: “not very good. We’re small.  But we make up for it because were slow.” We thought he was kidding and laughed. He wasn’t. They went 1-11. 

That’s with this defense looks like to me at times soft and slow a really bad combination

Don't forget out of shape.

Yeah, but we’re their girlfriends fat?

Perfect pass, catch, and run after catch.  Why did it take 3 quarters to produce that play?  Maddening.

I think I’d be pissed at the defense if I were Colorado.  I mean, he shouldn’t have been that open, and he should have been stopped shortly after the catch.
