Carrols schemes versus the packers showed the league how to do it... dont have anything else to say or defend PC...about. Look at our roster do we have the personell in place...maybe.

Pete C has taken his knowledge of the game to the next level. He's showed that the most potent passing offense can be shut down while only rushing 4 linemen. How'd he do it? Big, Physical, and fast secondary...... Which leads us to where we are with our roster.....S J Baptiste....is in this same mold, and should be playing...we'd get better sack stats if he were. The recruit from SD N Gerry is in this mold too at 6-2 and fast... A couple of Our safties fit the new mold as well. When you compare talent in schemes, accounting for the differences in performance matters....Detroit with arguably the best DLine does not shut down passing games... DBacks too small cant play man, give recvrs way too much space... Seattle has the right mix to go far....showing defensive minded coaches a better way.

Thoughts: 1. Best single game year over year transition in NU History. 2. Coaches created the atmosphere of T E A M first, never saw better performance from 10 recievers who caught passes 2A. Every year teams staffs claim that players that work hard and show they have the right stuff will get reps. One of the single most impressive things in this years opener, as Coaches walked thier talk, 5 Touchdowns by air, 10 recvrs caught passes......Best mix of recvrs I've ever seen at NU. 3. OLine has two walk on starting, dont believe there was a single penalty...outstanding performance from this group. 4. Coachin speak Knows depth is a weapon, come game time we never see it...This year feels different, we saw a lot of talent today and anyone with NU memory, has to admit this performance was a team effort, and every single player that played last year, improved from last year. There were negatives but this post is truly about a shout out to the staff, they have overcome every cliche, every historical reference. The Players got it....individual performance of single players year over year was so dramatic, that IMO we've never seen a group of guys grow so much. For me...Very Proud of this performance across the board.

Garrison has said in articles that moving ARod is opportunistic because Choi emerged so completely. Choi last year by the end was sometimes a dominant player, me thinks our best Olineman..With last year & as his coming out of left field party behind him, expect to see him compete at a very high level this senior season. . Have to like the potential of this group...add Morrow as a dominant blocker and runner and this offense could be special.

Personally, I like Urban Meyer maybe he's just good at public relations. I'm pleased with Nebraskas move to the BIG and find the company of these schools exciting and complimentary. Recruiting is a seasonal game, sometimes its hardball and sometimes its soft, the variables change all the time. its in fact good that feathers are ruffled, folks competing for the same kids better damn well understand the strengths and weaknesses of thier opponents habits as they relate to the process. Complacency is your biggest enemy. Now, after this inagural recruiting season Meyer has ruffled feathers and has caused other schools to do some soul searching about thier own approach to the recruiting process. Most Often, soul searching ends right at your own front door, we blew it...is the only excuse worth making, IMO. No amount of recrimination can change that, until next time when you tighten down your own ship and screen the weaknesses in your own process. Every school has the same challenges, accept for fan expectations. Which are so personal as to be meaningless to the process. As one who never bends to the star system, a team must look at its positions all the time, hold camps study film, diamonds are out there to be mined. Coaching is the ability to see potential and fit that potential to schemes in systems. Style only matters in places like this. We Husker fans have seen hugh success over many years and within the complex of every team were role players nobody thought didly about during the recruiting process. Our recruiting is trending well in my opinion, we've got great recruits from TX CA MO AZ LA and a host of other states where the BIG has fewer relationships. NU by its very presence in the league has enhanced oportunity to do better than past years in OH,IA, IN PA, Il and MN all because we might for some kids be, the 2nd best choice to other BIG schools, where the entrenched logics and opinions are homered into kids, that didnt include us as viable choices to play in the league. with scholarship limitations as they are we are doing pretty darn well and should with all the relationships we have, continue to do so. Bottom line focus on your own relationships, cultivate them for the best that is available at any given time, have enough relationships in play that during any one period, if none of the potential in your first layer meets your needs, move to the next, and the next...

Agreed, and its why coaches lose games...be it for ego or something else? Reed is a very good player...Cotton is good too, but by comparison Reed is a multi talented weapon...so what, that he's missed some blocks...this entire offense has missed too many blocks to count and some of the biggest offenders never get pulled. As a recvr his threats are speed and hands not made of stone, as big a threat right now as we have...his hands are spectacular compared to others...

Bell and Enunwa will set records over thier time at NU...as a tandem they may be as good as we have ever had.... Best recvr not getting the ball....Kyler Reed.His grabs today not with standing. Bell is very smart young man, by his senior year he could be like RBurkhead is to this team now.

Choi is ahead of Long at this point, the failed attemps on 3rd down today all went to Longs side... I like Long, but Choi is better, and way ahead of the guy that gets reps when healthy.. There was one play today where Choi stopped moving downfield where he should have take the LB or safety out in two more steps, instead he wathched the play get stuffed....the play breakdown was not his breakdown, but the definision of finish comes to mind. Other than that play, the kid was 4 stars.

Choi is flat out a monster. Every play 1st quarter or 4th he's out there doing it. Cant actually believe that rodriguez plays at 50% of Choi's performance. Play after play....Choi and Long are strengths of the line, with Caputo and Hardrick right up there. Some people speculate that games are one and lost by coaches...i agree with this. Choi not in, we lose, gives us a dimension when he pulls, Arod disappears on most of his snaps. Choi needs to be awarded a Ship for his senior year....he will get a tryout with an NFL team and we will make a squad...half the other guys wont get a sniff.

Congrats Stanley...! Most likely scenario is that Stanley didnt have to unlearn techniques from the old admin pos coach. Hence he came to the position a blank slate and CR was able to coach him into the lineup. Matters not to me, if he is a success, than it proves that CR has a coaching point of view that works just as well or better than the previous skill sets emphasized.

Who are the DLmen shutting opposing off down? gotta be something here, or maybe its underclassmen?

Hey a Bakken worker....must be fun being up thier in the heat of it.... MSt is the better team by far. The L DE Gholston is a stud gets off the ball very quick but is also a dirty player, he had 3 personal foul penalties and 1 that didnt get called, two of which were big time cheap shots.........MI has one good recvr Amos something, shut him down and you can attack all day long, just make sure shoelaces is somewhat contained. MSt, running back is pretty good but gave up 2 fumbles, so tackling the ball with him could yield positive turnovers..... Huskers can beat both these teams, especially if we attack the QB's, hopefully we'll stop the technique only dline play and resume attacking.... MSt QB will throw picks under pressure. MST d line and LBers blitzing were the most notable contributors to the final score....lot of pressure all day. DenRob was very inaccurate, it was windy but he was really not very good all day long...considering he was under pressure all day contributed to some or much of that. DR is very fast and shifty in close quarters gets real skinny fast, so you have to wrap him up, hoping meredith and our other DE's wont be a step late, as they were at WI, MI nor MST Olines are not as good as Wi....so that step late might be there for them.

http://rivals.yahoo.com/nebraska/football/recruiting/recruit-search-results?keywords=skyline+Texas&sport=football&sport_id=1&year=2012 This team according to Yahoo has one hell of a defense....perhaps Huskers should take a look...no DLine personell are listed on this recruitnik list... see KState is in on one player and TX on two....might some of our TX spies get some G2 on the Dline prospects at this school.

Where was Choi in the Ohio St game....was he injured? Choi & Long are the biggest surprises this year, I'm wondering if these coaches dont want so many free agents embarrassing them? The Walk on program is producing, and that is how it should be...the scholarship players mad about being beat out? is the depth chart infuenced by more than class rank as in SR Jr So?

Choi has NFL level skills...how many guys get out like he does and lock up his assignment? We have not had many recently, so Choi stands out on film because he flat out locks up his assignment. Stai and Garrison obviously saw his potential and kept moving him up, Rod needs Chois fire...Long and Choi at guard is exactly what this offense needs, Wi inside guys will have a difficult time with these guards, thier pad level is lower and thier strength out of the snap drives people off the ball, i'm inclined to look at these 6'2 6"3" guys at guard in a more favorable light all because of pad level. Marcel is great when he's healthy so having him in is a plus, the youngster has plenty of time to get reps and develop his skills. Me thinks we take this game today.
