chuckd Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 gee, let's take some more RB's so they can get wrapped up in the backfield! about time we got some linemen! Are we on the same planet? Have you looked at the class? Steinkuhler? Givens? Hoch? Possibly Robinson? Are you prosposing we just take 25 o-linemen? Quote Link to comment

Depends on how fast they are.........................maybe THEY could be running backs. Quote Link to comment

Have you looked at the class? Steinkuhler? Givens? Hoch? Possibly Robinson? Are you prosposing we just take 25 o-linemen? A bit of depth on the line would be a plus.....thus, we need more lineman. We do not need more RB IMO. We are loaded at that position. I do believe that competition for the starting job is healthy and there is more than enough RB's to support competition.

The more and more I think about it the lines are what gets you championships. You can have decent talent and an outstanding offensive and defensive line and probably win a championship.

MadcatNU Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Is this guy more of a speed back? Glenn is a bruising back, but i don't think he has the speed to open up the play book the same way Lucky does. Castille and Gray sound like they are similar to Glenn. I'm wondering if we lose part of the play book when we lose Lucky, and that maybe that is what Tavares is for. Quote Link to comment
huskers1 Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 First of all Gray is not the type of back that Glenn is. Glenn is a pure power back with average speed. Gray is 5'10 215-220 pounds with 4.4 speed. Also is everyone forgetting about Helu? This guy seems to be very good and is only a true freshman as well. We are stacked for running back for the next several years. After we lose Glenn and Lucky we will still have semi proven backs in Castille and Helu and then the potential of Okafor and Gray, then throw on top of that Mendoza and there is no way we will have to scale back our offense in any way. We have Gray as a do everything back, and Castille has proven he can catch out of the backfield as well and Helu is a well rounded back as well. Quote Link to comment

HuskerKing130 Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Now that Gray has decommitted, NU should go after Pressley. Quote Link to comment
