Mavric Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 Reports are the new punt block wall (three personal protectors) - at least for today - were Chongo Kondolo, Vincent Valentine and Maliek Collins. Quote Link to comment
Atbone95 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Reports are the new punt block wall (three personal protectors) - at least for today - were Chongo Kondolo, Vincent Valentine and Maliek Collins. Hate this philosophy... No offense, but are those three really going to chase down a returner after he catches the ball? You're essentially trading never having a punt blocked for having 8 (1 being the punter, 1 being the long snapper) men capable of chasing down a returner. So really, 6. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 Gabe Miller is out for awhile with a back injury. Nathan Gerry (long-snapped in HS) and Banderas volunteered to work at that spot. Quote Link to comment

Our punt coverage efficiency was totally fine last year with the same philosophy. I'm fine with it. Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Gabe Miller is out for awhile with a back injury. Nathan Gerry (long-snapped in HS) and Banderas volunteered to work at that spot. Kind of sad. He was recruited just for longsnapping and his back up graduated last year. Quote Link to comment
Lyons in the Sea of Red. Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Sam Foltz was one of the fastest kids in the state and loves to hit people. We'll be fine. Quote Link to comment
Thanks_Tom RR Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Who ran that special teams work out yesterday? I know Ross Els has been the Special Teams Coordinator the last few years, but the official Huskers website no longer has him listed as such, only Linebackers/Recruiting Coordinator. Oversight on the website, or are we mixing up coaching personnel? Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 I think the special teams have been split between coaches for a couple years - probably since Els took over as Recruiting Coordinator. I hadn't noticed that on the web page but they might have gotten rid of the Coordinator spot since it's split up. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 If Gerry would be the long snapper, he'd be a terror on punt coverage. 3 Quote Link to comment
papersun87 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 in the time that it took you to read this thread, Westerkamp muffed two more punts. 3 Quote Link to comment

Thanks_Tom RR Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Here is a tweet from Josh Harvey talking about True Freshman DeMorney Pierson-El, Josh Harvey @JoshHarveyScout · Aug 4 I'm a big fan of @ThtPiersonElKid's game. Here is the freshman in a #Nebraska #Huskers jersey https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BuPlVKkIQAIm55b.jpg And here is the response from a guy that was a punter in HS in Pierson-El's area Zach Eisenhour @the_OG_great_8 Aug 4 @JoshHarveyScout Coach told me that if I kicked the ball in his direction I would never see the field again...lol. Let's turn that punt return game around. Quote Link to comment

So really, 6.It only takes one man with a motor and no personal regard for safety (i.e. Eric Martin) to block a punt in that formation. When will teams stop using it? Quote Link to comment
onlyHskrfaninIL Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 fake punt run to the wild chongo? Quote Link to comment
