Tim Beck isn't shy to bounce ideas off his players. "He'll ask us, 'What do you think about this play?'" http://bit.ly/19Q3rjw #Huskers

“I think he’s a great coach, because he works with his players, not just at his players," fullback C.J. Zimmerer said of Beck. #Huskers

I really hope we can keep him for a long time.

Oops, I posted a thread derailer. It's gone. This is great twitter news though. Love when the coaches ask for the players input. Good to hear.

Vintage Bo face. You have no idea if he's happy, sad, or furious. You really don't.

I actually think its pretty easy to see that he is happy. His eyes are lit up and he kinda has a hidden smile going on. Plus the teammate jumping on Singleton celebrating.

Persistence is key. Grind now, shine later. Every day is just another opportunity to get better. Keep pushing.

Hopefully this means he is getting it. I like hearing this though, just hope we see it on Saturdays.

One of the insiders over on RSS got some texts from an ex-player that was at practice. Said VV was showing a better attitude. Hopefully he's turning a corner.

Also said:

T Newb is FAST

TM's motion looking smoother, ball coming off his hand with a little more pop

Jake Cotton showing plenty of aggression, even without pads

Curry is a blackshirt prototype(whether that means attitude, build, and/or talent I don't know)

Bo's demeanor is becoming more like McBride's, still intense but a little more playful(I'd say that shows some in doing the Harlem Shake video)

I can see the last one, doubt Bo would've made an idiot out of himself in a Harlem S

This also echoes something I heard a few days ago that Newby was an absolute stud in summer workouts. Quick, shifty, almost untouchable without pads. Don't know how it translates with pads, though. I sent EZ-E a PM about this.

I am hopeful that Newby can be that take it to the house RB that we haven't had since Helu left. Sure Rex and Ameer are straight gamers, but when was the last time we saw a RB (Taylor doesn't count) take it 60+ yards. There have been plays where Rex and Ameer didn't have that extra gear....sounds like Newby does.

Rex went 57 against Southern Miss, 61 against Idaho State and 73 against Ohio State...

I knew someone would mention these two...I more meant against good competition....I don't remember the Ohio state one though. But I still think most of us agree that Rex didn't have that take it to the house speed. Not a bash towards him, that just wasn't his main game.

 

[I am I]

IIRC rex didnt' score on 2 of those runs.

still ran 50+ but lacked the true breakaway speed.

also, who was the lead recruiter for Gregory?

he has 3 yrs or 2?

 

[HuskerNationNick]

BACK TO THE GREGORY LOVEFEST PLEASE!!!!???? Too much negativity and wiener measuring going on here.

Gregory is a 3 for 3 guy. I think JP was his lead recruiter.

 

[HuskerFowler]

Practice almost over, should be getting some nuggets soon!!

 

[IllinoisHuskerFan]

Got Nuggets?

At safety, “I think it’s a wide-open battle in some respects because I think we have more depth there than people realize," Papuchis said.

Brian Christopherson ‏@HuskerExtraBC1m

Don't put him at the front of the list just yet, but LeRoy Alexander starting to get mentions from coaches in safety battle. #Huskers

Brian Christopherson ‏@HuskerExtraBC

Papuchis named off six guys in heat of safety battle: H. Jackson, Cooper, C. Jackson, Alexander, Green, Gerry. #Huskers

If you want a 2-deep at corner now, early as it is, JP put it down like this: Mitchell, SJB, Mo, Davie & J Rose competing for 4 spots.

Davie making some noise

"The common denominator of the 6 guys I just talked about is they're all fast, all physical, and have a good feel for the game," JP said.

That's under the assumption Evans is at nickel, which Nebraska will use a whole lot.
