    Parrella supposedly told Thomas that nothing was going to change with the new DC - same front, same scheme, etc.

    So about that...

    The way I interpreted this from Schaefer was that Thomas said he didn't really care what scheme we ran and that Parrella told him he wasn't sure if we were staying with the 4-3 or not. Essentially implying it's not a big deal.

  2. Nice to read a thread with some realistic and rational thinking.

     

    This offseason is a critical turning point for our program. Critical to finish strong in recruiting and critical to have some key player development. We have some young talented players on the roster, we need to develop them while also building more depth behind them.

     

    Think we see a completely different team next season, whether there will be substantial improvement or we get the same results is yet to be seen.

  3. I guess I just don't remember any great 3-4 defenses I've watched in college and as result don't recall who they had for players. Just guessing but woudn't it require someone of Suh's category to play that nose tackle. It seems with just 3 defensive linemen, all of them better be 'double team' type guys to occupy the O line. It would seem to me that just three big guys would be insufficient to stop the power run offenses like Wisconsin and (NU of the past). Teams would likely just chew us up and spit us out. Your LBs are gonna need to be big AND fast both. We don't seem to be able to find those types either - thus Gerry at Safety becomes a leader run stopper. I don't think great run defenses feature safety as the leading tackler spot. Someone please correct me on this as I have seen so little 3-4 I don't feel I am that aware of the pros and cons.

    Wisconsin runs a 3-4. And Alabama.

  4. With Darlington's concussion history, AJ Bush should've been prepared to play as a potential #2. Instead, he's basically shown the door.

     

    That's inept coaching. My 2 cents. Not interested in arguing about it.

    Why do you assume he was "shown the door"? Maybe he made a personal decision to transfer? But I suppose that doesn't fit many fan's narrative about the coaches.
  5. Run defense is very impressive thus far.

     

    Pass defense limits the big plays (minus the one at the end of the first half) but will allow some short passes but they limit YAC. So overall improved.

     

    Tommy actually was pretty sharp and accurate with his throws, they just weren't all the correct decision.

     

    Its nice to be on the plus side of the turnover margin, even if some were pretty lucky

     

    Defense hustles a lot more, allows them to get lucky with some turnover opportunities

     

    Penalties suck and need major improvement

     

    Bruce Read still is not making an impact

     

    Huskers have some strange bumps on the back of the shoulder pads

  6. Well this year didn't finish as we'd hoped but we have some decent talent that'll be back. Here is a general guess and what the team would look like.

     

    1B - Schreiber

    2B - Schleppenbach

    3B - Alvarado?

    SS - ?? Maybe an incoming freshman?

    LF - Dilday

    CF - Boldt if he stays

    RF - Meyers

    DH - Miller

     

    Starting Pitchers - Waldron, Burkamper, Meyers

    Closer - Leunsmann - we also return a good amount of our bullpen so that will be helpful.

     

    I also kept Boldt on here, not sure if he stays or not. I think our chances to keep him are better because he had a down year at the plate and may not be drafted as high.

     

    Additionally, not sure about any incoming freshman. Anyone have any good info regarding them?
