Ratt Mhule Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Damn, watching some videos of Coach Diaco today, i love it! If we have weak minded defensive players next years thats on that person, not the coaches. Coach D gets after yo ass! Quote Link to comment
Husker from Kansas Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Maybe Diaco will be the guy to bring the "blackshirt mentality" back tot he defense. Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted March 5, 2017 Author Share Posted March 5, 2017 Interesting comment on the Defensive Line: Natter got props for batting down a pass at the line. The comment from the media guy watching practice was that kind of thing would be important as linemen "no longer will be rushing the passer" in Diaco's scheme. 1 Quote Link to comment

They were rushing the passer in Banker's system? 3 Quote Link to comment
Saunders Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Yeah, yeah it's spring koolaid and all, BUT... this seems like a huge departure from the laid back defensive practices that Gerry Dinardo talked about the last couple years. Maybe this is the kind of "bloodbath" that confused Banker. 2 Quote Link to comment
HuskermanMike Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 I really like Diaco and he has had one practice with these guys. His energy and fire alone are going to make these guys want to give it their all on defense. I like his attitude of not allowing players to take an easy way out, I feel this upcoming season the defense will want to make tackles and be fundamentally sound. His job is to limit big plays and I feel we will give up significantly less big plays and give up less points next year. Even with the transition to a different defense. Quote Link to comment

Maybe I am reaching here, but the 2017 season is looking a lot like 1993. Up until 1992, Nebraska ran the old 5-2. Then, switched to the 4-3 starting in 1993. Hopefully we see a similar run like what we had in the 90's. 1 Quote Link to comment
