Who would you clone?

[westgatehusker]

I you could add any player from any nebraska team and add it to this years who would it be?

 

pick one on offense and one on defense.

 

 

oh also discount learning the offense and such and let's say they would be in their best year

 

 

hey it's july im bored

[zoogs]

Speaking to our team's needs this year, I'll take one of the '95 O-lineman and Mike Brown at corner. (He played corner, right? I forget)

[gamecocks]

I would say Will Shields on offense and Groce on defense/SP.

[westgatehusker]

oh I never put mine in

 

Johny Rodgers on Offense

 

and Chuck Norr......Grant Wistrom on D

[Blackshirt316]

Grant Wistrom on D and Tom Rathman on O

[skersOVRsc]

Either Peters on D

Wilson Thomas on O........maybe we could try throwing the ball to a 6'5" kids with ups.....what a concept.

[Landlord]

I would take two D players, probably Winstrom and whoever is the best corner to play at Nebraska, I don't know who that is but I would pick them!

[Foppa]

Thankfully it's August now...Geez, hurry up season.

[BIGREDIOWAN]

Offense: Johnny Rodgers

Defense: Grant Wistrom

[bethelbacker]

Because I'm a younger guy, I'm gonna go with Ahman Green for the offense (especially in light of Wilson and Glenn's health), and for the defense, as much as we could use a Grant Wistrom/Jason Peter type this year, I'd have to go with Mike Brown, cause I love hard hitting defensive backs.

[real'97champs]

im going WAY old school on this. I'd go with mick tingelhoff (great o-lineman) and Tom "trainwreck" Novak on D

[KCforNU]

Offense : Lawrence Phillips (clones don't have mental issues, right?)

Defense : Whoever our best coverage corner was.

 

 

This offense is in dire need of a homerun running back. Phillips was an elusive and punishing back with the speed to take it to the house.

 

Our defense needs one shut down corner to help ease in our DLine.

[real'97champs]

just a couple of things, mike brown was a rover which meant he could play any db position and as for the best corner, there are many options but i'd say ralph brown or tyrone williams

I think you would have to look at our biggest weaknesses on the team in making this decision:

1) DE:(Base End, I'm happy with Barry Turner:): Grant Wistrom, perhaps not as talented as Trev Alberts or Broderick Thomas but brought a Blackshirt mentality to the defense in addition to his strong play.

2) CB: If Bowman returns to the form he was in against Michigan in the Alamo Bowl I would go with pick #3, but with so many talented tall WR's that we must face this year I would have to go with Tyrone Williams. He fared well against fast and tall WR's in the few years he played at NU>

3) TE: Johnny Mitchell: Guy was a man amongst boys and brought an attitude that was similar to Miami Hurricane players of the era.

4) OT: It would be nice to replace Murtha with Zach Wiegert for obvious reasons. I think it is critical that Keller has some time to find guys like Purify, Hardy, and Nunn. It is also important to keep him healthy.

Grant Wistrom on D and Tom Rathman on O

 

Good call. We could use both these guys right now.
