indianahusker Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Keller comes to play every Saturday. So does Lucky. So does Octavien. So does Grix (where the heck has HE been the last 3 years?). So does Bowman (albeit he's obviously rusty...too many penalties). Why do other guys refuse to follow their lead? Quote Link to comment
newenglandhusker Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Because there is no real leadership on the staff, so the players don't know how to lead or follow. Agree with the players, though. There are bright spots but they are quickly being negated by the staff. Quote Link to comment

So does Bowman (albeit he's obviously rusty...too many penalties). Why do other guys refuse to follow their lead? Good Question. Only they know that answer, but I would say that the O Line is the biggest surprise. I thought they would pretty much dominate Mizzou. I was wrong. And why has RuuuuuuuuuuuD not followed Bowmans example? Quote Link to comment
np_husker Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 A few good players who are giving all they have, but zero leadership. The fact that Bowman, a team captain mind you, took off his Blackshirt but no one followed him speaks loud and clear. Either the rest of the D doesn't think highly of Bowman's leadership or they simply do not care. Quote Link to comment
Washusker Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I only saw Culbert play a couple of snaps. Is that all the time he got, or did I miss him? Quote Link to comment
tattooedhusker Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 i don't think you missed much of him, if at all Quote Link to comment

coyeote Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Don't forget Purify. He's working so hard you'd think he was at the NFL combines. Quote Link to comment
newenglandhusker Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Don't forget Purify. He's working so hard you'd think he was at the NFL combines. The only thing hurting him is only playing 1 out of every 350,000 downs. Quote Link to comment
HuskerT Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Don't forget Purify. He's working so hard you'd think he was at the NFL combines. Agree! You definitely need to add him to the list and considering everything he's been through this year I commend him. Quote Link to comment
cmb23 Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I'd like to see what you or anyone else sees in Bowman. He didn't play the past two years. The games he's been in this year I haven't seen crap. Against Missouri he had a bunch of pass break-ups...after he ran through the receivers back for a penalty. Quote Link to comment

So does Bowman (albeit he's obviously rusty...too many penalties). Why do other guys refuse to follow their lead? The problem is that the list of people who don't come to play is much longer! I can't remember hearing Turner's name once this year, I keep having to check the stat sheet to see if even played. Mckeon's never been the same since his injury and seems to be down right scared of contact. Ruud's two steps to slow and it makes him look like he's just standing around out there. Asante & Green look lost and poor Suh is getting double and triple teamed to death because every one else on the D-line can be handled man on man. Quote Link to comment

I think we all agree that he's a shadow of himself, but at least he's got heart which is what's obviously lacking out there on D. Quote Link to comment

Just like Carriker last year. Please dont believe he is getting beat by himself. Quote Link to comment
