I agree. That could be the best thing for the o-line, after dealing with Suh and the boys up front game day should be a walk in the park.
No green jerseys for QB's

I am all for them getting bounced around a little...but I don't want our defense killing them. :snacks:

Somehow, I think Lee's expression will be more :dumdum
(partly because, it kinda always is...)

Everything about old Nebraska was physical and aggressive. Callahan's change in culture was not to power past defenses, but rather to trick them all the time. That has turned our team soft. We need to become more aggresive on both sides of the ball. Going "good on good" as Pelini says, is a good idea. The other is that the coaches have to stay on these guys to bring it in every practice and every drill, then put up a game plan with physical elements. It might take a while, but we will improve.
Just look at the Denver Broncos this year. The team has been getting after it with tackling practices. That is something that NFL teams just don't do because they are trying to protect their roster. Denver has a 6-0 record despite changing the head coach, the QB, the defensive strategy and a ton of the players. Call me a fool, but I think that the hard practices are paying dividends for Denver.

There's some truth to both comments. Its not like they'll get slammed to the turf. But it should help with the game atmosphere, for both QBs.
If it doesnt help mold one guy into a better player, start the other one
This is great news! I just hope no one gets hurt
.P.S. "Resiliency" isn't a word, or at least might be the most unnecessary word in the English language.
Our D and O in the 90s were so friggin tough because they went 1s against 1s. If an offense could take a beating from our defense, they were going to be able to take a beating from any defense-- same thing for the defense taking a beating from the offense.
If you go to the gym and bench 135 everyday, you might end up with decent form, but you aren't going to get very strong.
This.
I've seen a lot of interviews of players from the 95 team that talked about going up against the defense in practice and how tough it was, but that going against them (and vice versa for the defense) made the team better as a whole going up against each other every week.
Not sure if it's just Lee being indecisive, or if the coaches are telling him "not to run".
Because I am confident that Green is a very capable backup if Lee gets injured.
But I would love to see Lee just tuck it and run when the defense is expecting throw.
Because ALL of the defenses expect us to throw when Lee drops back.
Lee IS fast, he just never uses that ability.
If the coaches are telling him not to run for fear of injury, they need to throw that kind of thinking out the window, because we need to do everything we can to win. We can't "fear" getting injured. That's just part of the game.
