Captain Hindsight

I also did not care for the Jamal Drill name. agree, where the hell is the sports psychology in that flavor? some coach who thought that up should receive the ass-hat of the year award! It was Raymond, and yes he was an asshat for that move.

So you're at practice every day? If so good for you because then you can tell all of us the "facts". Or, are you just speculating on what you THINK is going on which is what all of us here do? Each coaching staff makes a lot of decisions on who to play and why. They all think they are doing it in the manner that will give them the best chance to win. Still, they are all human and not infallible and fans will question those decisions from time to time.

While you make some valid points.................and I would have loved to seem him on the field, from a team perspective, how do you allow him some packages and reps if you have told the entire team your playing time is earned on the practice field.....and then there are exceptions?? Seems to me the whole chemistry is affected if 1 is allowed to dog it and is rewarded with PT, and others are held to a differing standard. By the way, the article I thought was more than just a PR piece. It does answer some questions most of us had about WHY he wasn't seeing the field. Love his attitude now and hope it translates quickly ............maybe as soon as Jan 2........! My comment on the PR aspect of it is due mostly to the fact that I'd already heard the practice habits stories from sources on the message boards a couple months ago. There are a lot of dissimilar treatments of players on this team so speaking for myself I don't see that it's a big issue if he still plays some if he has a bad practice. Some have a long leash and some have a short one. Some can make multiple mistakes and play and some make one and have their face put on a milk carton. He was probably getting frustrated that he knew he could contribute in other ways but was stuck learning and perfecting technique in a new position before he could. Perfectly understandable to me. My opinion is admittedly skewed on this one because I just think the kid is a difference maker on the field.

I still have reservations about how his year was handled nonetheless. It's a nice PR piece and I think everyone knows JT is a great kid. There wasn't anyone more enthusiastic to become a Husker than him. Knowing that he was learning a new position and trying to play it at a D1 level while doing that, I think there were some things that could have been done to get the ball in his hands while he learned. I don't understand how you don't scheme to get the ball in his hands 3 times a game minimum, practice habits or not. He was a quarterback and he could have had a wildcat package for instance.

Confusing thread is confusing.

I shouldn't have watched more video. I'd forgotten how impressive he looked, like another D. Robinson. Now I'm going to be real disappointed if he doesn't sign.

Says a lot about Bo and a lot about Nebraska.

That's a fivehead.

Promote from within, man...it's all the rage!! That or hire Shawn Watson NU would probably offer to ship a truckload of leftover hair care products as a sweetener. Do it!

i wonder if anyone has actually bought them, they have pay pal set up to it The sad thing is, I bet they've made millions. Superluminal package for me. Baller style for the end of the world.

:yawn:

The job Snyder did this year was leaps and bounds beyond what Miles did. LSU is LOADED.

Excellent news if true. His coach says he is better than Zac Bowman.

We need to let the midget center play. The back up is another midget and has played like what, 3 snaps?

Skip, Skip, Hit, Skip
