BoSolich Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 how are we starting walk-on wide receivers when he is on the roster? 1 Quote Link to comment
Waldo Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 This definitely doesn’t need a new thread. It’s been two games and he is a true freshman. I think they will play them when he is ready or when there is no chance at making a bowl game. The offense is awful at every position. This could go down as one of the worst Nebraska offenses in the past 20-30 years. Coleman isn’t saving that. 5 Quote Link to comment
MyBloodIsRed16 Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 He played Saturday. Didn't get targeted because he wasn't open 1 Quote Link to comment

I was at the game, but of course didn’t see it notice anything. Lol. Quote Link to comment
MyBloodIsRed16 Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 When I saw him in he didn't do anything. One play was a run and he loafed Quote Link to comment

One play was a run and he loafed Short Side Option mentioned this earlier in the season. Said he could be all conference, but lacked a solid work ethic (paraphrased). We could really use his ability. If he’d really use his ability. A smart HC/OC would get a few plays he could run in his sleep and use those. Have him run other routes to keep DC’s honest, but use him and his limited experience. 2 Quote Link to comment

Colorado has given up 90 points and 1020 yards in their last two games which unsurprisingly were both losses. https://cubuffs.com/sports/football/stats 2 Quote Link to comment
Popular Post Red Five Posted October 1, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 1, 2023 Coleman is a very talented and raw athlete. His stars were earned from camps, not from actual high school game film. Many thought he projected better at Edge than a WR as well. He didn't even dominate at the HS level as a WR, so it is absurd to expect him to step up a level and contribute this year. Add in that he didn't enroll early and he was behind the 8 ball. Jaiden Doss was the freshman all set to see a lot of time on the field, but broke his hand during fall camp. I'm not sure if he is cleared yet or not, but I would expect to see him in at least the last 4 games if healthy. 1 1 1 7 Quote Link to comment

ColoradoHusk Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 I know we all get frustrated when young guys aren’t seeing the field, when we think they can contribute. But, at some point it comes down to the player to do the work and do well enough in practice to see the field. I was one who didn’t think Malachi would make much impact at WR this year. I thought he was raw and would need time to develop, and as @Red Five mentioned, Coleman’s recruiting rankings came from his size, speed, and athletic ability, and not necessarily his production in high school. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Stone Cold Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 I think its fear that he will bolt, its to easy to leave now when you dont get what you want. Quote Link to comment

That's my concern about a slow rebuild, develop guys approach of Rhule. Transfer portal makes that a lot harder. I think most kids recruited now are wanting to play immediately. Maybe Rhule's diamond in the rough approach will work with kids who are not on the radar or didn't hit all the camps... Quote Link to comment
