  1. He's interpreting it to mean that there's a possibility that any of the QBs could be a bit behind a couple front-runners, not just Martinez specifically.
  2. Yeah, seeing that at the start of last season was like "Welp, I know where this is going..."
  3. Pressed up on receivers? You mean we're not gonna see corners constantly lined up a mile off the line?
  4. Those are some very nice potatoes that guys are using to make these Twitter vids.
  5. As do mine, it's just that there's a huge layer of fat blocking the view.
  6. "We want to be in the top 3 in the Big Ten in rushing!" I'm... wary about things being held back. Remember spring game a year ago, when we'd hired a 3-4 DC, and then they didn't play any 3-4 defense at all in the spring game? We were told that the coaches just didn't want to show any of it on film for other teams to study. Yeah, I'm sure that's the real reason they didn't want us to see what Diaco's defense really looked like. We certainly saw enough of it during the season....
  7. I'm not really surprised. On paper, going by the recruiting sites, our O-line should probably have been pretty solid the last few years. But, well, you know. Hey, the guys are probably excited to finally be getting some real coaching!
  8. Problem is, Riley had a very different definition of a running back's performance. One interview that always stood out to me was a few years ago when Bryant first arrived, Riley was just gushing about him. But there wasn't a single word about how well he ran, all Riley could talk about was how good Bryant was at pass protection. Riley paid lip service to the ground game, but I think we all know he was really all about passing, and the rest was just window dressing. And to him, an RB's ability to take a hand-off and run was maybe his third most important trait behind pass protection and catching passes out of the backfield. Consequently, I expect this year's RB depth chart to be dramatically different than last year's. In particular, I think we'll see more from Wilbon, and possibly Bradley as well.
  9. I notice that Frost's old boss Chip Kelly is also looking at this guy.
  10. Another Harry Husker. First time I've been described as 'dapper and professional', though.
  11. I always said anyone who blamed him for that loss didn't watch the other 59:45 of the game. We had all the opportunity in the world to win that one. Whether it was his fault or not is sort of irrelevant - it shouldn't have even come down to that one play.
  12. I would say even with McKewon, comparing his pre-OWH writing, he's had a bit of that as well. Not nearly as bad as some, but a bit.
  13. Can't say I disagree, although you might as well say the whole OWH staff.
  14. Right? Like that place has closed, and the place that took its location afterward has also closed. Here's the links for Capital of Texas Nebraskans: http://cotn.me/ https://twitter.com/COTNgbr (Sorry for the thread hijack, @MichiganDad3
  15. I was thinking the same as I watched it, you can't really get 'proper' form with that kind of lift.
  16. @PasstheDamnBallGuy Yeah, that's where I go. I kinda miss Third Base, to be honest. They had enough screens that they could easily be seen from any seat, while at Sam's Boat, half the seats you're looking waaay across the restaurant to see the screen. Third Base just got too crowded after Ohio State started having their watch parties there (supposedly Sam's Boat asked them to leave for being too rowdy). Then again, it probably would've been fine later in the season, as small as the Nebraska crowd got to be.
  17. Ditto this rec. I watch all the games with the Austin equivalent, they're all on TV. Looks like this is the spot for Houston: "Watch parties are at the Fox and Hound Sports Bar located on Westheimer, approximately 1 miles west of Beltway 8 between Wilcrest Dr. and S. Kirkwood Rd."
  18. Good teams that all too often couldn't get out of their own damn way, led by a good man that all too often couldn't get out of his own damn way.
  19. Article from Barfy @ OWH, written after the Minnesota loss: http://www.omaha.com/huskers/football/barfknecht-huskers-lack-tom-osborne-and-former-administration-s-internal/article_8294ab84-c802-11e7-b611-5b958b55918c.html
  20. ^ People gave Riley flak for attending a Salt Dogs game just before the start of the season last year...
