HuskerT Posted November 4, 2007 Author Share Posted November 4, 2007 I still LOVE the 10 to 15 yard cushion our DB's are taught to do against opposing WR's! THAT ROCKS! I also love how their taught not to look back for the ball! Even my HS coach used to teach us to watch the WR when he looks back, you look back! Quote Link to comment

huskermez9674 Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 I think I have two reasons for this. 1. It just doesn't apply to the d-line the entire d is 10 yards off the line. How else can you explain receivers that are that open. 2. If the d-line is any closer they will get called for another defensive offsides. I don't think I have seen that called this many times in my life. It seems like the skrs' get called every third series. Quote Link to comment

California Husker Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 My son came up with the idea of just not using a D-line at all. He also said we should get rid of the linebackers and just play 11 corners and safeties. His idea is that at least there would be someone back there to tackle the running back after he hits the hole at the line of scrimmage. I said they can't do that because the running back would get 5-10 yards before anyone touched them....oh wait...that is what's happening now...never mind, my son was right. Quote Link to comment
HuskerTrucker Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 uh....you don't want them to get hurt do you? That is the same reason they don't have contact in practice, therefore don't know how to tackle anyone. I heard a rumor that Nebraska is going to drop contact football and start an NCAA Div. I flag football conference next year... They are looking for a new head football coach for the program, any suggestions? Larry the Cable Guy is my first choice...at least then when we lose, it will be funny. Quote Link to comment
melscott62 Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 looks like you indead right. they are giving a cushion. I dont know if its quite a yard, but its close llok at the vidoe at the top right and got to 1:34 on the clip and look at the gap. http://www.wowt.com/sports/headlines/10994876.html Quote Link to comment
