HUSKERS in the NFL

Why do they still have Jared Crick still listed as a DE? He was recruited to Nebraska as DE but never played there except in some 3-4 schemes. He is now in the NFL and last I watched him he is almost playing a nose tackle position.

 
I like to look at who's in the league and do I see them as long term players. And the answer my friends is yes. With the exception of some of our kicker/punters who are getting a little long in the toothe, I think the majority of our guys in the league have bright futures. I don't know how my buddy Russ Hochstein keeps hanging on but he is. Helps to be versatile.

 
Man... you would think that Miami would be quite a bit better than they have been. They sure get top-end elite talent. Wonder why they have been pretty much second/third tier these past 7-8 years?

I think it's a mindset that maybe those players play through college worrying about the NFL, knowing they have that opportunity, as opposed to the Kstates of the world taking a group of good players and unifying them into a great team.

 
I think stafford, Eric Martin, Compton, Reed, Ben cotton, Rex bezzy, and maher all go pro. Steinkuhler is a toss up. He has nfl size

Couldn't agree more, the old me over we debate.

 
I posted this in the other thread, but I think it more applies here. My point is that we don't have any NFL-caliber linemen to back up our speed players. In the last 3 years on either side of the ball, we have:

Suh (Lions) Starter

Ricky Henry (Saints) Has played in 1 pro game in his career

Jamarcus Hardrick (Saints) Has never played a pro game

Jared Crick (Texans) 2nd-string, 20 tackles in 13 games

Keith Williams (Bills) 2nd-string

Mike McNeill (Rams) 3rd-string, 4 career catches

Marcel Jones (Saints) Hasn't played since preseason

We have only 4 players that have played more than 1 game. Pretty poor showing, if you ask me. For comparison, Wisconsin has:

Garrett Graham (Texans) Starter

Travis Beckum (Giants) Starter

Gabe Carimi (Bears) Starter

Lance Kendricks (Rams) Starter

Peter Konz (Falcons) Starter

John Moffitt (Seahawks) Starter

Bill Nagy (Lions) Starter (before season-ending knee injury)

Matt Shaughnessy (Raiders) Starter

Kraig Urbik (Bills) Starter

J.J. Watt (Texans) Starter

Kevin Zeitler (Bengals) Starter

This explains so much about the thrashing we got in the CCG.
