So.....you're suggesting JD. Spielman wasn't playing hard and didn't care because he wasn't playing for the coach that recruited him. 

 

And that one of the other kids could just as easily be the leading receiver in Nebraska football history. 

 

This is like finding the flaws in your hot ex-girlfriend after she dumps you. 

I'm speculating about JD not playing hard -have no first hand proof (but there is smoke out there that he hasn't been happy in a long while)

On the next part - Nice job jumping that creek and then telling everybody it was the grand canyon.  I said that players had similar talent.  Most records happen when a team lacks depth - As NU has for the past 3 years.  There are 5-7 guys that may have JD level talent and non of them may pass his numbers or they may.  We will see but depth and takent will play a factor in how many targets each will get going forward.

Finding flaws in something is just being real - pretty sure there are flaws in almost everything.  And you know what they say about a hot female walking alone.

Fair enough. If JD has lost his passion for football or is concerned about his future health, it will be a sad day for Nebraska football.

 

If he signs with another team for his senior year, it will be a black eye for Nebraska football. 

Why is it a black eye for NU football when a talented kid only wants to give 90% effort at a school where the coach is not someone that recriuted him.  The staff has preached they want kids that live nebraska football and kids that fit that culture.  NU has kids that fit that bill and have similar talent. 

Solid last few post - everybody has a right to their opinion and we all see from different perspectives

This is the attitude of a person that doesn’t care if millions die as long as they can get a haircut and go bowling. 

This is a 7th grade assumption of a person that flunked biology.

Ah yes, let's use percentages to distract from the fact that nearly 100,000 people have died and likely more because as you said you agreed things are underreported. Move on with our lives who cares about 100,000 mourning families. 

Yeah how dare us to use percentages - let's just lump anything close into one basket and try to make it bigger then it is.

Every death is tragic to many individuals - however as we all know every death has its own story.

Cheese fries anyone?

JD is a loss no matter how you look at it - however we have guys that can be similar to him.  It will only be a major factor if we have season long injuries.  This will be the first year where we have 5 RB/WR/TE that can do different things.  IF AM and the OL show up good things will happen.

The D has a lot of questions but that may not be a bad thing - just give the O the ball once or twice a game and make a few stops.

If there are fans at the stadium it seems silly to restrict the #'s if you go with the idea that you need to leave one seat in between each in all directions that would mean in a pocket of 9 seats only one could be used and if you go to the game with someone you would want to sit next to them... It seems like the rules for reduction would be hard to implement

I agree with you 100%.  But this is the unpopular opinion thread.  My WISH was that McCoy didn't feel the pressure as much, he may have held on to the ball 1 sec longer.    But you can't fault SUH for trying to take him down. 

Too bad McCoy didnt have 0.5 seconds more of loft on the ball - but hard to question a guy that was so banged up after the game that he was still injured for his next start

This isn't the Spanish Flu.  Modern Medicine is light years ahead of 1918.  We have solid information on how to avoid the spread.  The numbers would be much better if we could get some of the non-English speaking minority groups on the same page.  Take a look at the nationwide demographics and where a large percentage of the cases are.  Keeping the country under lock down isn't going to fix that.     

There are a lot of pow income individuals that feel they need to work - they either dont understand that there is $$$ help for them or they are illegal and know that they only have 1 option

Suh made 2 critical mistakes at the end of 2 important games in 2009:

 

VT:  He was too passive in his rush at the end of the game - giving the VT QB time to find a receiver in the end zone

Texas CCG:  SUH should not have rushed McCoy as hard as he did at the end of the game -  it forced McCoy to throw the ball out of bounds, leaving one second on the clock.

 

 

VT game:

I have watched that Texas game 100 times and every time think the same thing - however in the heat of the moment with an aggressive defender the result will always be the same.

I’m pretty sure Vegas disagrees 

 

What do you think the odds are on a 6 game parlay with NU on the bottom ?  It's not even money? Would be at least double digits

So actually Vegas agrees

What makes to think that we can beat any of those teams?  Based on what?  Kool-aid?

Simple fact that we have beaten them before - not sure if we have played cinc

AM can run which helps our run game as much or more than accuracy on screen passes.  TG would have died running this offense. That is probably why he left.  That and AM is much better.  

I agree 100%

As stated above AM is my pick over TG - you just dont have to look far for an example of the proper tech for a sideways pass....

I am pro AM and have always been on his side

2 hours ago, swmohusker said:

This has a lot to do with how bad our WR were last year and lack of blocking on key screens.  Once we start taking advantage of that it will be much easier to run inside zone.  

WR need to get better and will - one of my only two knocks on AM is his consistency at throwing screen passes behind the receiver

If the ball is thrown correctly an average block can turn into a big play. When the receiver has to look back they can't read the block similar to how AM couldn't read plays during the bad snaps.

I prefer AM over TG but go back and watch the spring game and Tristan did a much better job at dropping swing/screen passes where his guys could make plays.  I feel this is what made TG so upset about not getting the job

It may seem counterintuitive, but in this offense I like the speed guys for the inside zone almost more. If a crease presents itself they can shoot through faster. Killins had alot of chunk runs right through the middle of defenses at UCF. Some of that is likely play design catching the D off guard, but speed helps exploit the advantage created by the play calling further. 

Agree with this - as our linemen get more athletic these small creases will create speed gaps in the middle. Bring back some of those kst runs  by TM

Yes.  How much testing will be made available.  Will smaller schools that are showing up for a paycheck and a prayer to win now ask that tests be supplied to them

 

There is a very likely chance that the small schools will not play - this season could be all about "big boy" football.

Which could speed up the talks about d1 becoming only 64 teams which then opens up the idea of farm teams for the pros.

Well maybe but until we have the important data released (actual infection rates across the entire population) it is impossible to tell.  

It may well be that the mortality

rate is very very low and all the shutdown / social distancing / etc was basically for naught.  By fall it may be that 65% or more of population has already had the virus.  That will make all the fuss over trying to contain the spread useless and fiscally stupid beyond all comprehension.  The med “experts” who drove the bus into the grand canyon economically will never be believed / trusted again. 

This a 1000 times over they will cover the numbers up in 2020 but by 2022 a look back will show the real numbers

Frost confirmed on his radio show tonight that it will be a smaller class. Not sure what that means for the exact numbers though. 

Guessing this has more to do with NU stock rising next year

Just stating that the winning and losing may have played a major part as stated.

For this player YES - BUT not all we brought in studs last class and they know NU's record at losing

You either see the future or you dont need to start winning soon

That's good to hear. But if Held is closing regularly, why can't T? Obviously this is just my personal/uninformed opinion but seems like wasted energy/effort for no results. Maybe it'll come this class and we are way off, but so far there's little to no traction. 

 

Decked mentioned it earlier, maybe he's a development guy that does "more with less".... maybe his time at Cal showed that. Im nervous to fall into being comfortable with that thought though. 

I hear you here - but this may be a little too black/white (recruit/no recruit)

The Polynesian's could be a hugh part of the trenches for NU however it takes time and it may just take a couple extra years for coach T to figure it out

First you need a great starter.  “Depth” is not worth much if the guy is not starting material.  Almost no freshmen QBs are ready to be counted on as a starter to perform at a winning level, particularly when your offense is so heavily dependent on great QB play.  

Bring in players who are intelligent and exceptionally football smart and as athletic as possible for this offense.  

It seems to me the problem with the offensive schemes Frost wants to run is that “average” or above average caliber QBs are not good enough for 9 win teams. It takes great players playing great at QB for this offense to score points efficiently (big plays etc) vs just basic efficient consistent sustained drives.  A lack of fundamental run game and traditional ball control - first down churning plays - type plays.  Its kind of hard to put your finger on the missing ingredient in this offense I guess but there is just some core element(s) not coming thru in my view.  I understand that there are missing parts (special playmakers) all over the team but there still remains something amiss in our QB play despite having Adrian (the supposed best in the country?) at Frost football. 

 

Please wait until our front 6 are solid and then evaluate the situation from that view point regarding QB position

We have tickets in 4 different locations - sit in North section and you will know what lack of space is....
