Travis9 Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 This was a topic on the RSS and I thought it was a good one and interesting. My picks Defense Suh, Asante, Thenarse, of the players currently on our roster. Offense Henry, Holt, Paul, Lee, and oh yes KENNY WILSON Quote Link to comment

Travis9 Posted December 5, 2007 Author Share Posted December 5, 2007 I would love that but Asante says he came here because he wanted to play safety and he could here. He has stated he does not want to play LB Quote Link to comment
BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 What do you mean by "surprise"? How can Suh be a surprise when he has aleady been a starter with high expectations? On offense I'll say Curenski Gilleylen and on defense I'll go with Prince Amukamara. Quote Link to comment
Travis9 Posted December 5, 2007 Author Share Posted December 5, 2007 suh starter yes high expectations yes, results absolutely zero, surprise because he will make a difference next year Quote Link to comment
admo Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 I like the guys on offense that have been mentioned. I'll say entire defense. With so many guys gone from this past defense, it would have been interesting to see what Pelini could have done with them, and how he would have handled it if they didnt respond. I believe he has a lot more raw talent to work with this year. Which will benefit him I think. Quote Link to comment
billdozer15 Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 I think that we will see some suprises out of Helu and Lee. I can see Lee and Helu in on certain packages together where we are looking for alot of speed on the field, possible option/read option plays. I think Bo will go with Ganz as his #1 however will see something like Florida with Leak/Tebow combo of last year. My dream package: QB -Ganz/Lee RB - Castille/Glenn Slot Reciever - Lucky/Helu WR - Niles Paul Speed, Speed, Speed and Bruisers I really believe a package like that could create some serious matchup problems. Possible option/Read option, Bubble screens, End arounds or straight up smash mouth. Far to much to worry about with that many threats in at one time. Quote Link to comment
BigRedfxtoy Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 I was thinking the suprise may be who starts on the O-line. Some of these guys are way to big to get out infront of a RB and do it several times in a game. So, if we are going to run any type of option or sweeps, we will need guys in shape to do this. I am just excited aobut the game. Quote Link to comment
Eric Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Major Culbert!! No matter what position he plays. Anyone know what is up with Chris Brooks? He was ranked as the No. 2 prospect in the state of Missouri according to Rivals.com and the No. 15 wide receiver in the country, when he came in 2005. Another case of recruiting not meaning anything? Quote Link to comment

fatirishhusker Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 I would have to think with Watson sticking around that Ganz has an inside track on being the QB. And why not? He was one of the bright spots at the end of the year. At least we know with the new coaches, that the best players will be on the field. Quote Link to comment
Houchsker12 Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 I would agree with pretty much everyone here. I'm really anxious to see how the defense in terms of LB's and DB's will turn out. I'm thinking that we will utilize speed much more than the years past. I can Asante moving to backer and possibly Culbert, both should be playmakers. Then you add in Washington and there is plenty of outside speed to complement Dillard in the middle. As for DB's I'm really anxious to see these new guys that received so much hype...Prince, Blue, West, Haag...and I'm obviously looking forward to seeing Thenarse in a starting role. Oh wow, I'm getting way too excited. Quote Link to comment

Definitely agree...although I wouldn't be surprised if, with a modified O, Lee or Witt make a competition of it. Quote Link to comment
Travis9 Posted December 5, 2007 Author Share Posted December 5, 2007 Billdozer 15 i like some of your ideas but Lucky as a slot? why? He was 2nd team all conference and really kinda got screwed there. his total yards from scrimmage was awesome. He ran really well the second half of the year. For a speed offense, castille wont be in the game plus he cant hang onto the ball. Why would we want to replace lucky? it makes no sense. The only RB i could see replacing him with is a 100% healthy Wilson. A great combo of Lucky speed and Castille power all wrapped into one back. Broken Femur however means probably less than 100% Quote Link to comment

I'm excited for that, let me tell you. I also think Roy Helu should be an exciting player next year, and if Marlon takes it easy again like he said he did this year at times, I can see Helu pushing him for PT. Quote Link to comment
