bbhusker Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 With the the way the defense played last year, who do you think will lose their starting jobs and who do you think will step up and show they belong? Who will come out of nowhere and play? Quote Link to comment
hastingshusker Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 The most interesting battles to me will be in the line and Linebacking corp. I think alot of it will be determined by the philosophy of the coaches in who fits where. I wouldn't be surprised to see some young guys stepping in there. Id love to think Baker could be on the d line for four years...think of the possibilities Quote Link to comment
bbhusker Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 Um... Peters brothers come to mind! Damn wouldn't that be sweet if we could have that kind of push on the interior D-line again. Thats how I see Baker as a player. Quote Link to comment
OLDMAN Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Zach Potter will transfer back to Creighton Prep where he will star again. Quote Link to comment
DeathCultArmaggedon Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Zach Potter will transfer back to Creighton Prep where he will star again. lol Quote Link to comment
HuskerTrucker Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I don't want to start pointing fingers this early...but there are some guys on D that better come with a whole different attitude, or I hope they will be sitting the bench. Last year was totally disgusting to say the least. Quote Link to comment
bbhusker Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 Agreed, these players don't even know what a BLACKSHIRT means let alone got to wear them last year. Even in the glory days only the elite players received one, just because someone started didn't mean they automatically got a Blackshirt. Quote Link to comment
The Husker of Akron Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I beleive that our team will be somewhat tainted, the last staff really didnt do s#!t, and i think it will not let them reach full potential. The attitude of these players better change quickly and for the best. I wanna see a fast, hard-hitting, physical playing linebacker core like va tech had this past season. I wanna see secondary that put themselves in postion and risk life and limb for the pick or knockdown, i wanna see an interior d line that can actually penetrate once in a while, I hope we use both steinkuhler brothers on the d line plus suh and I dont know who i want for the other d end yet. On offense we just need Ganz to improve his int ratio( and yes ganz is the starter), and a receiving corps that steps it up even after all it has lost Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 So basically...all of these guys need to improve a lot: linebackers, secondary, D-line, QB, receivers. I think you left out O-line, RBs, and ST coverage. But other than that, we should be set Quote Link to comment
bbhusker Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 I look for the D-line to have the same starters but very much improved and possibly Baker getting some playing time. Linebackers, Lawrence-Dillard-Culbert. Safeties probably Thenarse and Asante. Corners is my biggest unknown, Blue and Whitmore maybe? Not sure who WILL be the starters but looking for a totally different defense even though most of these players played last year. Some may not agree but I think we have the talent to have a top 30 defense or even better. Bo's schemes will make up for most of what was wrong last year and you know effort won't be a problem, if someone doesn't give max effort they won't play. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Murillo will be a starting corner! Dang, everyone seems to forget him :-P Quote Link to comment
bbhusker Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 I knew I was forgetting someone. Thanks. So Murillo and Whitmore or who? Quote Link to comment
Overland Park Husker Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I knew I was forgetting someone. Thanks. So Murillo and Whitmore or who? Blue looked damn impressive when he was in. Look for him and Murillo to start, with one the freshmen pushing for PT or at least playing some nickle. Quote Link to comment
caveman99 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Agreed, these players don't even know what a BLACKSHIRT means let alone got to wear them last year. Even in the glory days only the elite players received one, just because someone started didn't mean they automatically got a Blackshirt. I think that the attitude will be there, remember these players voluntarily gave up their blackshirts last year instead of staining them with bad performances. The recent press I have read has a lot of the players excited and voluntarily spending a lot of time with the coaches to learn the scheme so they can hit Spring Practice running. I think there is talent there also, especially in the defensive backfield. If the young core in the back can gel early and cover the passing game effectively in man coverage that will allow Bo to bring a Safety up in Blitz/run coverage as he is apt to do. I know that is a big if, but I think that the talent is there though inexperienced. I don't think a top 30 defense is out of the realm of possibilities. Quote Link to comment
