HuskerCuse Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Just curious if you all think it's HIM or the SYSTEM? Quote Link to comment
Spiderman Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I think it's the system. And it's unfortunate. The guy is a good athlete--he's proved that on returning fumbles for touchdowns. I think with some better coaching he could have developed into an NFL quality player. Quote Link to comment

I think with some better coaching he could have developed into an NFL quality player. I think that Bo Ruud did everything in his power to undo the coaching staff. Since he was a legacy player, and since his family practically run the boosters, he could not be benched. He took advantage of it, and followed some bad advice. He never offered leadership, even as a captain. If you disagree, then explain it. I'm dead serious about this. I've watched him at games and on film all season. You watch it, and tell me what you think. It was wicked, man. He walked through half of the plays. Quote Link to comment

BIGREDIOWAN Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I think it was a little bit of both. Cosgrove sucked so in turn so did most of the LB's. I also don't think that Bo had the same athletic talent that his brother had. JMO Quote Link to comment
CoachKevin Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 The entire LB group didn't hold up to the hype brcause of the front 4. In most defensive schemes, the front fours job is to keep the OL off the Backers by taking up blocks. The Backers than should flow to the ball or fill gaps. But when your tackles get pushed around and don't require any double team work, than your Backers are going to have a long day/season. Quote Link to comment

The Snork Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 The worst tragedy in this is all the talent and players careers that got wasted from lack of good coaching and motivation. Quote Link to comment
Glendower Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Just curious if you all think it's HIM or the SYSTEM? I'm ready to blame the system. Our linebackers were actually pretty decent last year (though Ruud always had his detractors) and this year they were suddenly terrible... Strange. Quote Link to comment
DaveH Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I really don't think he's that great of a linebacker. In any system. At times, he does have a knack for being in the right place at the right time but the guy hits like he's made of glass. Quote Link to comment

Uh, the guy was an All-Big 12 pick last year, and that "sabotage the coaching staff" was done in 2004. What's up with your unhealthy hatred of the Ruud's, did one of them kick your ass or steal your girlfriend? Let it go already. Quote Link to comment
newenglandhusker Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Just as a note...I'm not sure how many people take freemason's posts seriously. Quote Link to comment
kjstrouble Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Just curious if you all think it's HIM or the SYSTEM? It was the system and the lack of a good D coach. You have to practice real tackling to be able to tackle on game day. Quote Link to comment
Husker Deb Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 McKeon was much more of a disappointment to me than Ruud. Plus he whined. Quote Link to comment
