    Devaney: Huskers not conceding an inch

    in Husker Football

    Posted

    I also love the take, but come on, Ohio State beat us by 59 points.

     

    How much of that particular arse whooping was:

     

    talent deficiency

    lack of effort, or

    lack of depth

     

    is certainly debatable.

     

    However, what is NOT debatable is in big games like that (especially night games on the road) we have got to not only stop getting blown out, but we have to start winning at least half of them consistently.

    You didn't mention mind set. We have witnessed under three head coaches now a generation of players that as soon as something starts to go wrong they give up

    Westerkamp Determined to Prove Doubters Wrong

    I'd compare Westy to Julian Edelman as far as attributes go. Julian has seemed to have a pretty good career so far. ;) I'd love for him to end up on the Packers somehow.

    Because they're both white? Westy doesn't thave the speed, quickness or the moves that Edelman has, that's a pretty terrible comparison. Amendola might be a decent comp, though.

     

    Guess that's your opinion as it had nothing to do with race. :facepalm:

     

    Westerkamp

    Height: 6'0"

    Weight: 200

    40 time: 4.5 seconds according to the link above.

    Vertical: 40"

     

    Edelman

    Height: 5'10"

    Weight: 200

    40 times: 4.52 at the combine

    Vertical: 36 1/2"

     

    At first glance, you're wrong based on what you're saying. Clearly Westy has the same speed, the same size, the same UPS if not better, he has fantastic hands. Unfortunately we won't get to compare NFL combine numbers so it'll be interesting to see how things go with those numbers on down the line. Now if you want to say that Westy can't seem to get his hips engaged at times and seems stiff in that area then I might only agree with that assessment. And remember, we're comparing a soon to be rookie to a seasoned NFL veteran so of course he's not going to have some of the same development yet that Julian has.

     

    Watch it and try to remember:

     

    I think Westy has the edge at the same point in their careers since he is already a WR and Edelman converted over from QB

    Where Have the Huskers Come From?

    The state that kind of surprised me was illinois. I don't recall many but perhaps that was from many years gone by? It would be interesting to see the numbers if you count on scholarships and then only for the past 50 years. Not sure but I am guessing the above numbers include lots of walk ons and by gone days from way back.

    Wilbon and Westy are both from Illinois that's two right there.

     

    Wasn't Joe Ganz from Chicago?
