chucker21 Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Hey anybody have any informantion on isaiah fluellen? His future seemed so promising last year and now he has dropped off the map. Anybody no whats up Quote Link to comment
Redout Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 He has been hurt for some time. I think a pulled hamstring?? He finally saw some time this week , but I don't think he caught a pass. Someone correct me on that. Quote Link to comment
Benard Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 No he didn't catch a pass. He has been hurt but seems to be pretty much healthy now and got some playing time last game but didn't make an impact. I seen more of him and Leflore in the game then Nunn and Amos. Quote Link to comment
HuskerBob Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 ya know he has a brother at Bell West that could be a player too. seems to make sense for him and leflore to get some more snaps since they are more seasoned. anyone have word on Willies status? Quote Link to comment

Willie is healthy as far as I know. We don't throw the ball deep so he wasn't a factor last game. Quote Link to comment
gamecocks Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 I believe that Fluellen is starting to get healthy now and will start to get into the game more and more. We are starting to develop some depth at the wideout position which is important. Pilkington is a must on every position along with some combination of Nunn, Mulkey, and Leflore (when healthy). Using Herian and the backs to be split out will rest these receivers. Fleullen will help when we want to go deep or need to use him as a decoy on an end around or reverse or something. I think that if we can design five or six plays to get Fleullen involved in the game, we should be able to stretch the defense and keep them honest. Quote Link to comment

That's one reason I don't like it. To short compact passes that are just looking for trouble. I like the deep ball. Quote Link to comment
gamecocks Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 The west coast offense does go deep every now and then and fluellen is the perfect reciever for us to do the deep ball. Quote Link to comment
Oklahoma Husker Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 I think Willie Amos is a better man for the deep ball as he showed us in week 1 against WIU. Quote Link to comment
Benard Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 I think Willie Amos is a better man for the deep ball as he showed us in week 1 against WIU. Trust me we didn't learn anything from the WI game. They were smaller and slower and not a level even comparable to us. Flullen proved it against big 12 opponents. Id like to see both thrown to deep. I hate the short game. Run it if you want short game. I'm not saying every ball has to be a deep one but atleast throw some 20 to 25 yard passes. Quote Link to comment
Benard Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 The west coast offense does go deep every now and then and fluellen is the perfect reciever for us to do the deep ball. very very rarely. We threw it deep more last year after 3 games then we have this year after 3 games. Quote Link to comment

We threw it deep more last year after 3 games then we have this year after 3 games. That's because Jamal coudn't throw a 10yd pass without it bouncing at least once. He could throw the occasional deep ball though. Quote Link to comment

I miss the play action pass then throw it deep to Flue or herian. Quote Link to comment
chucker21 Posted September 24, 2004 Author Share Posted September 24, 2004 in order for us to open up fluellen on those deep balls we have to get him in the game in different packages so they dont know what is coming. Because teams have seen what he can do with the deep threat. Quote Link to comment
Redout Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 Let's face it though, hopefully in next year he doesn't even play because of the talent we will bring in. Callahan loves tall, lanky recievers, making Fluellen virtually useless. Quote Link to comment
