OK I will address some of these comments even though many of them are rude. 1st I am not a football coach just an X's and O's guy 2nd Mitchell and Green beat out Seisay even though I love seisay and I think he would play beautiful in this system. Evans is our Nickle 3rd I post at 3 am because that is when I get off of work, not sure why my bedtime is an issue for you but moving on 4th I am not trying to change the scheme here just some personel. Bo has ran a 3-4 this year. I am not saying he should change his 2 gap scheme (which I like BTW) or even his man coverage scheme, simply putting players in places where they can be more successful. 5th Thank you for explaining the peso however most of us already know what the peso is, and it does not need to be ran by a 6-1 205 guy either. Bo has basically called Evans the peso guy this year. He's 5-11 185. I am not interested in their size I am interested in what they can do buddy. In addition to that, you are trying to explain to me what a Peso "IS". This defense is not a "PESO" It is a 3-4 peso. Gets its name for a couple of reasons first we are switching from a peso to a 3-4 so we have a mixture of some style we are having here. Even though some of our Seniors are more 3-4 guys. We have a lot of playable DB's right now that is due to the high volume of recruiting them from the Peso era. It is a hybrid of both a 3-4 and a peso. It is like a peso in the way that all you are doing is replacing a lineman (basically a DE) and replacing him with a Safety/linebacker hybrid. we have a few of those. 2nd you are bringing down the SS and putting him in the box for the 2nd OLB position. Bo pelini brought down the safety quite a bit when running the peso. Other than that the DB's and nickle play the same your FS plays FS. Your lineman still play the 2 gap. So your post was rude and all it did was show you have a hard time counting to 11 cause that would be 11 players not 12. To correct you on your commit that 12 would work, I am going to remind you cause I am not sure you know this but having 12 players would be a penalty. Just want to make sure you know that, cause for all I know you could be trolling from the Iowa board. Some of those guys have a hard time counting to 11 as well. Anyways point is this defense would stop Michigan. NOW I AM GOING TO SLAM IT IN YOUR FACE!!!!!! 31 ./ 6 / 14 those numbers average out to 17 63 / 44 / 45 those numbers average out to 50.67 What are those numbers? Top is what Michigan's offense has done against teams 3-4 defenses.... The bottom is what they have have done against teams with 4-3 defenses. What else do the 3-4 teams have in common they have 250 lb middle linebackers. So teams don't run it don't there throat and they don't allow 600 yds or 60 points a game. You want a blow out bud? You'll get it!!!! you send our DE's like cam who runs a 4.8 against Dennard who thinks he is faster than Bolt and has reportedly ran a 4.1 you'll get your 600 yds and 60 points in one game. I like my option better!! And one more thing here little buddy I know your having problems with Math today so let me spell it our for ya! A 4.1 40 is fast

Have him play both sides of the ball and coach special teams as well!!

I didn't think we were going to get Sanderland for the longest time, I don't know why I felt that way, but I think now even a fool would think he is likely to come to Nebraska. There are still no guarantees in recruiting!!

Looking at a way to stop Offenses with mobile qb's I have developed a new hybrid defense designed specifically to stop spread offenses with mobile QB's, using the players that we currently have I call it the 3-4 Peso defense. First off I would as my lineman. 3 DT or DT/DE hybrids. NT would be Thad Randle he is a bit undersized for NT but I will explain more of that later on. at DE/DT I would put Steinkuhler , and I would actually put another DT there to force the issue of stopping the run. Stopping the run has been a huge concern for us in these situations cause spread teams have basically been spreading us out and running right at us. You have the option of placing your DT/DE anywhere from on top of the Gaurd to on top of the Tackle or anywhere in between. On the DT/DE I would even run a two gap with these guys to remove the chances of mistakes made by any of the above.. For my linebackers I would place Will Compton and Eric Martin. Martin actually has great size for an inside linebacker. Many of you understand why Compton is at middle linebacker but not so much Martin. Martin is the perfect size and candidate for middle linebacker. He can tackle, blitz, cover, and make big plays. If you still don't believe go look at his size and compare it with Manti Te'o. Martin projects as a linebacker in the NFL he is more of an OLB in a 3-4 but in this offense he is perfect, and he makes up for us having a slightly smaller DT (I told you I would get back to that) 3 DT's and those two Middle linebackers, try running up the gut now!! For my outside linebackers. I would put Stafford, and Jackson. Yes I said that right. I would put my best two Safety Linebacker hybrids here. Some say Stafford isn't the best choice for safety linebacker hybrid, but he is. Have you seen the hits he is capable of making? These two would have the jobs of double spying on the QB. Using DE's to chase down players like Robinson, and Miller just isn't going to work, and putting Linebackers there isn't going to work either. They are just to fast. You need your fastest and best downhill and open field tacklers against those guys. If the QB's want to run we will make them run all day. OT's would have problems all day with that speed, and I would even run stunts with your OLB and DT/DE to keep them honest. This will do two things i will keep pressure on the QB not giving him a lot of time to throw it, and will force him to make plays in the pocket. This QB's are most dangerous passing when they get outside the pocket. If they do want to travel outside the pocket, their OT's will stand no chance. there will be one or two people in his face all day. If the QB is starting to make a few passes in the pocket, feel free to send Martin, I would expect to see Martin to still get a couple of sacks. For my secondary I would would play man, generally you have 3 WR's in a spread. I would use Mitchell, Green, and Evans and play them man, they shouldn't have to hold there coverage to long with the type of pressure we will have on the QB, plus we have the ponies to do it. for my free safety PJ Smith. A two saftey covers isn't really necessary against this type of defense anyways, cause a lot of passes made by these passers are outside the pocket. If he wants to throw backside and crossfield all day by all means go for it. On 4 WR sets I would keep in Martin cause we are just not going to allow them to run on us, and use a DB in place of Compton, and continue with the man scheme. It the want to change their offense and go to two TE, by all means go ahead you would be playing into our hands by doing so. Anyways this is how I would use my defense against the spread offenses we are facing against. I don't think we are going to give up 600 plus yards or 60 plus points using this defense to say the very least.

Hence why he committed to Iowa in the first place!!

yes unless u r 350 plus pounds, but in all honesty ur probably right

He has set an official visit something tells me he might get looked at as a NT!!

I agree that VV will be a stud, and I can't wait till Valentines Day to arrive, but we will need two NT's in a 3-4 system!! I wonder if we could use a guy like Peat Jr as a backup NT

I have heard very little except for him decommitting from FSU. Lots of people think that he might re up with FSU. It seems a little weird that he would decommit only to re up later. I haven't seen anything from anyone to why he decommitted. I would think there is a chance to get him up here, but he has seemed to be more interested in staying in the South. Nebraska has other players from his school that is officially visiting Neb. Mac Alexander to be specific. It is my understanding that we do have a great shot with Alexander even though Notre Dame is still in the picture, because Alexander likes Terry Joesph and would feel comfortable with him, and Nebraska has a great program to get players to the NFL so why not come here right? HOWEVER Joesph is the secondary coach and has very little to do with the lineman. So I am not so such if a package deal is something that would happen, but I will say this a lot of the schools that Senat is looking isn't running a 3-4 which is exactly what we are moving to once we get the players. Senat would fit in well here!!

I hope we can get this guy down to Nebraska, he might be our last chance to get the NT Bo has been wanting to get this year!!

This is breaking news for some of you, and for a few of you, you probably already knew this, or at least had a pretty good idea. I don't want to steal this kids thunder, but several scouting gurus have already eluded to this subject. Dominic Walker has made a Verbal to Nebraska. He wants to make his official announcement on signing day, so Nebraska will not confirm this, but make no mistakes about it Dominic Walker has made a Verbal commitment to Nebraska. It is possible that he could change his mind again, because I believe he is still taking one more official visit, but it looks as if Nebraska has accepted his commitment and are moving forward on that. Looks to me like they will not be bringing in another WR after Walker unless something big pops up. I believe they have Lizard as one of their highest targets next season!! It sounds like the Verbal was made during his trip to the Neb vs Wis game!!

We might have a chance still with this one!!

This guy will probably sign with Oregon NEXT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WTF is going on here we have whiffed on about 5 Offensive lineman already this year not to mention Peat last year, and two left the program this year. Our Offense is going to suck. We have a line that will have 5 senior starters on it next year. It shouldn't be hard to recruit some lineman, any 4 star lineman that come here this year will probably be a 3 to 4 year starter. Is our offensive lineman coach a fu%%ing retard or something?????????

When did the Husker fans become soft????????? I expect the Huskers to have a standard of contending for a national championship every year. When did this standard evaporate? When Tom O retired?? It is making me think that he was a great man with a bunch of cowards quivering behind him. Stop being scared to be great!! Be a real man!! Time to awaken the Husker tradition. We beat ranked teams by 4 touchdowns not loose to them by 4 TD's.

this kid has probably been lost to Ohio State!!

hot seat doesn't mean he is fired, but after never winning no more than 9 games ever and finally getting his own players in a 8 game winning season would officially put him on the hot seat!!

here is an interesting article and I really think they hit the nail on the head here!! http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1361647-now-isnt-the-time-for-finger-pointing-for-nebraska-only-acceptance

Maybe Jamal Turner should have been kept at QB, but first thing is first Pelini has absolutely got to go!!

At this point I think we should consider a tackling dummy!!

Defense is also a problem this football team does not have just one problem it has several glaring problems and one of them IS TMART!!!!!!!!!!

TMART is terrible considering that Nebraska is suppose to have the smartest fan base I am puzzled why so many support this guy. Come on people if you can't take care of the ball you can't play QB period that is rule number 1 of football. When you learn RULE NUMBER 1 of football we will open back up this discussion. I am done talking about this pathetic QB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After taking an honest look at the numbers I am asking this question. Who is a worse Defensive coach Pelini or Callahan. Here me out Callahan could at least recruit some decent players and he broke a couple of defensive records like the games against Kansas and Missouri, but Bo is beginning to break some defensive records himself, and his defense is getting worse each year. Callahan is responsible for recruiting Suh and all the players from 09. So who is worse Pelini or Callahan. I have it as a bust right now!!

I am really starting to worry about this team. I am angry and I was thinking that Bo should be on the hot seat, but I know part of that is being mad. However when I look at the facts and what he has done, I am officially putting him on the WARM SEAT. Way I see it, is if Bo doesn't win 9 games this year we will have to pull the plug on this. If he wins 9 exactly he stays, but his seat becomes hot, and if he wins 9 or less games next year he is gone. If he wins 10 games this year he is off the hot seat for now. But he is OFFICIALLY on the warm seat IMO!!

I am calling out Andrew Rodriguez he is just terrible!!
