Suck it Clemson. We got Keyshawn.

 

 

 

Spring snapshot: Adam Taylor draws praise for positive approach

"He's one of those guys that, as the (2015) season went on — even though he wasn't playing at running back — he found other niches," said Riley, referring to Taylor's work on special teams. "And I like guys like that — those guys who redirect their energy when it's not working out exactly as they want.

Some of us thought Taylor would be the next great Husker running back. Never happened. I sure would like to see him get some carries, and see what he can do.

Good GAWD, Riley give Taylor a chance and some meaningfull touches in spring ball ... he might just surprise you. He is big enough, strong enough, fast enough, doesn't hesitate in hitting the hole, doesn't go down like a wet kleenex, and certainly doesn't have any quit in him, has stayed loyal to the Husker Nation, was the 2013 Scout Team Offensive Player of the Year. What else does a player have to do to get an opportunity to carry the rock . He may not fit your template you would like to have as a RB in your pass happy west coast offense you want to have ... but that is talent being wasted. Kind of like clock management ... find a way to make it work for you. Don't let Nebraska be the place where talent goes to die. And Adam can pass pro with the best of them. By the way ... anyone know how much Adam is bench pressing lately??? Anyone know???

 

 

I came here for the entertainment I knew I'd find in the above post.

 

Hay guys. 4 years ago when Adam Taylor was 18 he could "pass pro with the best of them" against NFL-caliber Texas high school players. He should be the starter.

 

I'm guessing he'll get every chance to prove his worth and then if God forbid he's not the starting running back you'll call out our team again.

 

Be easy on kbbccandyman. The guy has been waiting for 4 years to see AT show his stuff. And it doesn't help when every offseason we hear from the media how great of a player AT is. I'm still holding hope that he can be a solid back for us. He is a big man with an aggressive running style. I don't know how much his injuries have limited him but I always thought he could have been a contributor based on his HS film.

Just saying Tommy threw more bad throws in a single game than a lot of quarterbacks make over the entire season. That Iowa game was unacceptable. It's obvious that Tommy doesn't take coaching well and is playing outside the system. You can't keep playing a guy who routinely throws 4-8 passes a game that should get picked off.

I think he will make for a great safety at Nebraska. His closing speed, tackling form, and ball skills will all translate well for him at the safety position. It would be fun to watch him as a WR at Nebraska but I think it will be even better to see him catching opposing team's passes.

This kid is the real deal! I have now seen his highlights multiple times and am blown away by this kids athleticism. He runs so efficiently and has excellent vision. He really does remind me of Ameer with how quickly and explosively he can move in small spaces. You can really tell how strong he is when you see him exploding through defenders and not losing his balance. It would not surprise me at all if he were to play as a true freshman. I love the offensive recruits Mike Riley is bringing in.

His Sparq rating is very impressive. He has the best overall score of all the running backs in this years class according to espn. Ran a 4.53 40-yard dash and a 4.00 20-yard shuffle.

Those aren't practice unis. That's a picture from a game.

You are correct. I jumped the gun after reading an article about Monday's practice that showcased this picture. My bad. But still I hope we come out in red pants this week.

EDIT - This picture is from Illinois game.

Does this mean we are wearing all white again this week? I'm so tired of the all white's. It just doesn't feel "Nebraska" without the red pants.

McMullen isn't getting any push or pressure. I hate to bag on the players because they are just kids but we need better talent at end, lb, and probably DT too.

Saw on twitter that Carlos Davis was on the plane to Miami. Do you think this means he isn't redshirting or do you think it's precautionary in case of injuries? I would like to see what he could do at end.

He supposedly is supposed to be tweeting about his Nebraska commit here soon stay posted.

Oh dang. Yeezy's.

This kid is going to blow up with offers. I hope we can lock him away early but feel like he might be someone we follow all the way till signing day.

Isn't this how Matt O'hanlon joined the team back in the day?

I follow Larenzo on twitter and he just posted this positive message about Nebraska. I'm guessing Larenzo will be a part of the 2016 class. Does anyone know if Riley's staff knows about this kid?

But why the apparel is the question? It's almost like he has his own brand he's promoting.

Edit - just saw the link.

I like Nate Gerry but he is often overmatched in the open field against speed players. Would it be better for him to play closer to the LOS? I was at the Holiday Bowl and the fans around me were expressing the same sentiment that long term Gerry does not have the speed/quickness necessary at safety plus he takes a ton of bad angles. I'll be interested to watch Gerry's development. Started off season well but seemed to regress down the stretch...perhaps long season wore him down? Or are we in for a position change here?

Dafuq? Nate Gerry played like an all-american this year at safety and you want him to move to lb? Gerry won us the game against Iowa and almost Minnesota too. His best games came late in the season. I will say that he missed a few tackles vs USC but overall played lights out on defense this year. Without him and Maliek we probably lose 2-3 more games. And speed is not an issue he is one of the fastest safety's in the B1G.

 

 

 

Im out in good ol' Perry

Heck I'm in Granger to get specific

No. Hedley cannot be from my hometown.

I'm from Kearney. Moved to the DSM and bought a house in Granger

 

Nice, it's always good to have other husker fans around. I am actually moving back there in the coming months. How have you liked living in Granger so far?

How about we create a super staff with all of them. Kidding, but I think any of those coaches would be good hires. If I had a choice it would be Tressel. He has proven success with a high level program. He is also a big name and would create quite the recruiting buzz.

Isnt this entire next year gonna suck when we get waxed by a bad iowa team and half to hear it from hawkey fans for a year.

Why only half? I'm from Des Moines but live in Hawkeye country now and can say that Iowa is just as dissapointed at their season as we are. I haven't heard crap from an Iowa fan since they lost to Iowa State. With that said, Iowa is no Minnesota and we will eat them alive if we can stop the run on first and second down. Either way win or loss I think I'll end up dissapointed in "The final outcome" if you know what I'm getting at.

TAKE STERUP AND COTTON OUT OF THEmotherf&#39;ng GAME

TIM BECK IF YOU'RE READING THIS

Glad this is not a night game. Wisconsin at night brings back bad memories.

Is Stanley a possession receiver or does he have break away speed and can stretch the field? It's a great pick up no matter what.

I wouldn't call him a possession receiver but he isn't a burner either. He has average receiver speed but makes up for it by excellent route running and physicality. He has hands like Westerkamp and hops like Enunwa. The only thing his game lacks is elite speed and size. Next year is gonna be a logjam at receiver but look for Morgan to contend for playing time.
