Pedro Guerrero Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 If he doesn't play this year Tomerlin better step right in and deliver. I don't know if Mueller(sp) or Phillips can get it done. That being said I would rather have Heiran sit out then play and not be 100% healthy. Quote Link to comment

Steve Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Matt was recruited in the class of 2002. He played in 2002, 2003 and 2004. So Matt could actually redshirt this next season, and if necessary, petition for a medical redshirt year in 2006, and return in 2007. So there is no hurry. Matt needs to take his time and make sure he does what's necessary to come back 100%. No matter how long it takes. Quote Link to comment
StuckinChicago Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 The average life span of an NFL player is 3 years, and players drop dramatically in the draft for being older, ask Jason White. I agree it would be best for the huskers if Matt was 100%, and maybe best for him too, but he needs to get back on the football field if the nfl is in his future. Quote Link to comment

I agree it would be best for the huskers if Matt was 100%, and maybe best for him too, but he needs to get back on the football field if the nfl is in his future. White was a couple of years older than the average player drafted but he also had an ACL injury, a serious ankle injury earlier in his career, with arm strength and mechanics as weaknesses as well. http://www.draftshowcase.com/JasonWhite.htm Matts best chance to go to the NFL after such a devastating injury and two surgeries is to come back 100% and have a great year. I understand the longer Matt sits out the harder it will be for him to come back but reports coming out of campus all seem to indicate Matt is nowhere near ready. But the football season is young. Just because Matt may not be ready to return in August doesn't mean he won't be ready in September. Matt's a great competitor with a incredible drive to succeed. Quote Link to comment
kramer Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Has there been much talk from scouts about what this injury might have done to his NFL status Quote Link to comment
