probably the main reason it will take Beck awhile to get up tp speed, but i think he will get better every week thru the season........he is a smart kid and wants the job....

hunter

entertaining reading, at best......filler for the pre-season.......

hunter

you are very correct about wake forest, as i said earlier this summer, that will be a damn tough game.......damn tough

hunter

i don't think that will happen, they will have plenty of plays to take the pressure off him by then, especially with glenn, lucky and ross in the backfield to run/throw to, i don't think Taylor has to be spectacular, just solid and make no major mistakes, especially early in the season, which will allow his confidence to grow, i also think and hope the running game re-emerges and becomes a big force in the offense, you may in fact see the running game set up the passing game, something we used to see alot of here at NU.....if Billy C is smart he will use our strengths while the qb's get acclimated to D-1 ball......it will be challenging for them, make no mistake about that........

hunter

if Bowman is as good as reported earlier, he will be on the field at the same time with Grixby, there is no doubt about that , given our need for DB's.....

hunter

I GUESS OLD KC DOESN'T BELIEVE IN THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH, EH?

hunter

i think a Beck/Freeman battle 2 years down the road looks interesting...could be they both might see playing time, it has happened before here at NU.......

hunter

my 10 is N.

hunter

wharf- let's give ff a chance, he is with us, just has his doubts about the coaches, as long as he is for the team, i can handle that, if the team has some success and

and the coaches keep the kids motivated, he too will come around.......try to keep it positive everyone, it is a long season!

hunter

agreed, Glenn, as i speculated before, if we can get him and lucky with ross in the bf at the same time? lots of options for Taylor......lots of options.........

hunter

very nice blackshirt.............ty

hunter

well said skerfan! season coming up fast ff, can you be with us for the Red?

hunter

i agree with Pillen on this one, not next year, the year after and the one after that

as long as we continue to recruit well, that should be the when the time is right...

hunter

i like Hardy and bowman too, but as thin as we are at there positions, do we risk them as a punt return guy?? maybe we do.......

i am ok with the new policy of no fans allowed on the field after the game is over, but i am wondering how they will handle a huge win or upset and the fans storm the field to take down the goal posts?...come to think of it, i can't remember the last time that happened at Memorial stadium?? anyone??

hunter

i assume this will be the next topic, maybe some info to come out soon, knowing this is a key issue to address, wondering who might show the ability to be a good return guy........?? also looks like Glenn has caught Cally's eye.....good deal!

hunter

i agree, if you just look at Freeman from a physical standpoint, he has a huge body to grow into and should develop even more than Cate, i think he will be a tremendous athlete down the road for us......

hunter

IMHO the coaches need to get people into the key positions and keep them there until they are well polished and know the position inside and out......better to have people doing one job well, than spreading them around trying to accomplish too much.......it seldom works at any level of play........

hunter

roadrat, i agree, that was PART of the problem.........let's see how they come together this season, let's see if they can get it done......i really hope they can,

because the recruiting job was excellent.........

hunter

stuckin' has the right attitude.......i will do my share to try to keep it positive, lots of things to be optomistic about right now....

hunter

if you can't leave it alone, then you shouldn't get your nickel, but you obviously have nothing better to contribute..... by the way, media day is entirely different, but then you don't seem to get it........

hunter

f@$$ing hillbillies! would be fun if they had to eat that now wouldn't it?

hunter

i probably missed it, so much info out there....ain't it great? anyway looking for more info on this kid, hope he makes an impact too........

hunter

was thinking that too, he was a fullback in hs in Texas, 3 start kid, but Todd Dane should have that spot anchored? think he is at 220 now, maybe a year in the weight room and up to 240 he might have more impact? think he had a 4.6 40 so he has pretty good speed......who knows, another young guy to fit into the puzzle..

hunter

with all the speculation of Jackson going to the d side of the ball, could it be that Glenn fits better in the backfield in key passing plays to pick up the blitz? is he that kind of back that could block well, besides maybe be a threat for receiver or on the draw play? ETR, what about this kid? haven't heard much, little fanfare regarding him, is he a darkhorse that can anchor the backfield in a different way or in special situations? anyone, any ideas on what this guy might bring to the table or just too early to tell??
