Mavric Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I would about guarantee that Rose-Ivey and Banderas have two spots. We need to find a third and some depth. And I really think this true freshman will be in the rotation. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 Newby, Rose-Ivey and Banderas were the "first team" with Bando in the middle. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 Apparently the LBs practiced in both sessions due to lack of depth. Riley said they got lots of reps but will have to be careful not to wear them out. Quote Link to comment
Hedley Lamarr Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Newby, Rose-Ivey and Banderas were the "first team" with Bando in the middle. So who we expected to start spring Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 Young could pass for being 30: Quote Link to comment
admo Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 LOL well the guy at then end could pass for 16. 1 Quote Link to comment
admo Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 If Coach Bray can get this group polished and maxed out to their capable talent level, it'll be great for the defense. I've always thought the Linebackers were the backbone of the defense. So important against run & pass. Quote Link to comment
TITANIC VS LUSITANIA Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Young could pass for being 30: Some guys need more weight room Quote Link to comment
Atbone95 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Young could pass for being 30: Some guys need more weight room I know several of the guys standing next to Young. They're all walk-ons. Don't get too worked up there. Quote Link to comment
True2tRA Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 BANDO!!! I agree. I think Banderas is in for a huge season. Can't wait to see Micheal Rose back out there too. As much as we are hurting for depth at linebacker, I think our starting bunch is going to be one of the better groups in the Big Ten. Quote Link to comment
Hunter94 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Rose is probably the best we got, after that this group is average at best. Quote Link to comment
ScottyIce Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Newby is going to be really good. Just wait and see. Quote Link to comment
admo Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Rose is probably the best we got, after that this group is average at best. I understand it's a thin group, but I'm not so sure the group is average. I think they will thrive with a different approach to how to play from Bray and it will be refreshing. I think we'll see a better result because of it. In Pelini's 7 years, this was an area that was consistently mishandled. Maybe there is a better word for it. Mismanaged maybe? Even though it's not in the distant past I do think we will see improvement moving forward. Quote Link to comment

I don't see how anyone can make a judgement about our current front 7 based on the differences between the past scheme and the new scheme. I think there are reasons to be optimistic with players like VV, Collins and possibly Ivey. I don't see how negative judgements can be made. This group is going to be asked to do very different things than they did last year. And, that's a good thing. Being as thin as we are at LB, are there any walk-ons who people are talking about?
