  1. Similar to the defense, the offense was also pretty vanilla. Don't get too caught up in the spring game, the offense for actual games will look much different.
  2. Better than over throwing a go route to a covered WR on 3rd and 6thIt's really not though. Low risk, high reward is always better than low risk, low reward.It's all situational. If you have a QB who excels at throwing go routes and have a receiver who is solid at winning jump balls then maybe a decent idea on third and long. However I would rather have a QB who doesn't force a bad throw and gives a good playmaker a chance to make a play. You don't want to have check down Sam Keller out there but an appropriate and properly executed check down is a very good option.
  3. Better than over throwing a go route to a covered WR on 3rd and 6th
  4. Think Copeland plays more like a stretch 4. Don't think he will be a 5. Probable opening day lineup: Watson Turner Roby Copeland Jordy Gill, McVeigh, Jacobsen, Palmer off the bench. Think Turner will probably get replaced in that lineup by either Palmer or Gill by conference play.
  5. Also think this will be a fairly small upcoming class for the DL. Think we're pretty happy with our numbers there.
  6. I think he will help with some special teams but will have a significant role within the recruiting department. He is a good recruiter and will be valuable in helping with that as well.
  7. More like "Kalu moving to safety for one practice so everyone relax before we start burning couches"
  8. Tommy isn't going to be a TE in the NFL. He has a shot to be a WR, RB or maybe a safety. His playing style and body type are not really suited for a TE.
  9. He plays a lot faster and more athleticism in his highlights than a 4.91. I'm fine with him as a WR and then if he bulks up then he can switch to TE. Plus he seems pretty excited about the WR offer.
  10. Agreed. I think he played with too high of pad level at times and lost leverage as a result. Hopefully the increased weight and some technique adjustments will help.
  11. In an interview with Carriker, Mick said he is up to 310 now. Also mentioned how they've talked about using an over front in some cases, which will present more like a typical 4-3.
  12. Burkamper, McSteen, Fisher are all coming off injury, no need to push the envelope. And it's a 4 game series. Like as was already stated, he is just the first guy that'll be out there in a full bullpen rotation day. Have some faith.
  13. I'll trust Riley/Diaco on this one. If Elliott can help coach up and develop the talent we're getting and can provide some help with big picture coaching and ease the 3-4 transition, then count me in.
  14. 1. Roberts - think he will really be the difference maker at LB we've been missing since Lavonte 2. Gebbia - might take a year or two but I think he will be the one to take over after tanner lee 3. Daniels - position of need and looks like he could be playing from day 1 4. KJJ - think he will develop well, already has great hands and runs great routes, will be a monster once he is in the S/C program for awhile, also a great leader it seems like 5. Deontre Thomas - think he looks like a great 3-4 DE, might take a year or two to develop though 6. Lindsey - will be in the rotation from day 1 and could have a brandin cooks type role like Riley had at OSU Sleeper - Allen - dude is 6-8' and athletic, big red zone threat, big enough to be that TE over the middle and athletic enough to be split out wide
  15. Do we have enough CB's to even afford to RS him? I think he pretty much has to play. Maybe if injuries pile up. Its also possible we just allow any injuries or lack of depth to dictate our nickle package use. We've got a legitimate 3-deep if we can afford to limit our Nickle packages. CB: Jones, A Williams, Bootle CB: Jackson, Dismuke Nickle: Kalu, Anderson A Williams is pretty much a safety now, maybe a little nickel. Anderson is exclusively a safety. Also don't forget Lee, Butler and Boaz Joseph at corner. But yeah we have decent depth
  16. I agree with the general idea here but I also think he deserves some credit for getting Ben Miles this year.
  17. Just spit ballin here but does the recent CBs to TCU indicate maybe we landed a couple other targets and no longer have room? (As in blades and Lenoir)
  18. I got the impression Daniels was pretty much all wrapped up and ready to commit but then ESPN asked him to announce on signing day so he pushed it back and may or may not have silently committed. Just IMO but I think we're fine here.
  19. Neither of those receivers are on the same level as Lewis... If Lewis is #1, put those two at #3 or 4. MATTY, ARE YOU DUMB? This is your shot - SAY HE'S GOING TO USC. If you say it, there are 2 possible outcomes. 1.) It happens, and you have some credibility back. 2.) He commits to Nebraska specifically because you jinxed it. Your reputation remains tarnished but you're happy as hell. Love you buddy <3 Lewis is definitely the top guy but Thompson and Grimes are not far behind. All three have the size and athleticism we need. Just going off of film, I think they're all in the same league talent wise.
  20. While he is definitely still #1 on my WR board, I think 1A of Thompson and 1B of Grimes is pretty solid. Would be very happy getting any one of the three
  21. Also possible that Maurice could be drafted. He has some good size and played well. Also a chance with Bando but probably not quite as good of odds
  22. I like the idea of Barnett switching over to NT. He is obviously a decent athlete since he was highly rated. As long as offensive line depth can support this then I think it's worth considering.
