Deion Sanders softens stance on Colorado’s struggling O-line
Colorado coach Deion Sanders criticized the offensive linemen for not protecting their quarterback son this weekend.
On Tuesday, he regained some of that pressure.
The Buffaloes are one of the most underdog teams in the country, which drew Sanders’ ire after a 28-16 loss at No. 20 UCLA.
Because of that, he said, “In the big picture, we’re getting a new line.” This is the picture and I will paint it beautifully.
“The matchup was great,” Sanders said as the Buffaloes (4-4, 1-4 Pac-12) prepare to face No. 16 Oregon State (6-2, 3-2) on Saturday night.
. Folsom Field.
“I’m confident these guys will take a big step forward and we’ll see a closer, more aggressive, more physical and better prepared group than ever before.”
That’s a stark contrast to Saturday, when Sanders was unhappy with the offensive line.
He was ready to jump straight into the transfer portal to reinforce the front line.
He hasn’t been shy about going that route, signing more than 50 players this offseason to shore up a program that finished 1-11 in 2022.
Sheder Sanders was sacked seven times against the Bruins.
He has been sacked 41 times this season.
It is also often rushed and rushed.
“Not just depth, but killer instinct, will, desire, desire (and) athleticism,” Deion Sanders said of the offensive line after the game.
“The most difficult thing is the lining.
Hopefully you won’t see the linebacker jump to another school.
I think we have a few guys who are good at spicing things up, but overall we don’t have enough fight or passion to do what we want to do.”
Despite all the pressure, Schaeder Sanders still threw for 2,637 yards and 22 touchdowns this season while throwing three interceptions.
He also said all the right things about the offensive line dealing with injuries after the UCLA game.
“I know everybody’s doing their best.
If I miss the ball, I’m not frustrated because I don’t want everybody to hold it against me,” Sanders said.
“So he’s gone, but I’m like everybody else. We weren’t on the same page.”
His dad gave him a few days off from practice this week.
“But he’s doing well mentally, physically and psychologically,” Deion Sanders said.
Sanders believes the custody system could be adjusted to better protect her son.
That’s the point anyway.
“I believe in our people. I believe they can do this,” Sanders said.
“I’m sure of this.”
Sanders said Alton McCaskill plans to redshirt this season.
McCaskill appeared in four games and carried the ball 14 times for 59 yards.
Safety Shiloh Sanders was cited and suspended for charging the Bruins.
Older NFL players like Richard Sherman came to his defense because they looked like they were getting hit in the shoulder.
This meant a lot to Sanders.
“If I get along with them, I get along,” Sanders said.
“Sometimes I think the referees think, ‘Oh, you hit it hard.’ I’m thinking “I need to throw a flag to see this”.
