knapplc Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 I thought that was a pretty good article. Didn't see many holes in their logic. The good news is, all ten of those guys can improve enough to make an impact this year, I have no doubt. The question is, will they? Quote Link to comment
missouri_husker24 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 I think Niles Paul should be up there with the guys that need to prove something. I mean after the mediocre season he had last year and ending with an bad Gator Bowl performance. Plus the trouble he got into in the offseason. He has something to prove. Quote Link to comment
carlfense Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 http://www.huskerlocker.com/blogs/view/bid...uskers_for_2009 The same article is in the Nebraska Statepaper. What gives? Does McKewon write for Husker Locker? http://nebraska.statepaper.com/vnews/displ...4/4a5c758612a15 Quote Link to comment
Touchdown Tommie Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 This is a pretty fair assessment. I hope the WRs step up so that it helps Lee out and also helps with the running game as well. I feel the defense will step up. They have a year with the coaches under their belts and know (should know) what is going on and what is expected of them. If not, they can ask Dillard what will happen to them. Quote Link to comment

Does McKewon write for Husker Locker? http://nebraska.statepaper.com/vnews/displ...4/4a5c758612a15 There have a been a few articles where if you clicked on the link at the end of the article, it would take you to Husker Locker. They may be tied in together somehow. Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Spot on with the Thenarse analysis. The guy is very talented in run coverage and in special teams, but he is a very poor defensive back when it comes to pass coverage. Constantly got burnt on long pass plays, looked lost and confused, and he also never took his hard hitter mantra to heart. I really want to see the kid do well given his rough childhood growing up.

Agreed. Thenarse was one of my favorites when he was a freshman or sophomore and just playing special teams. He blew people UP on punts and kicks. Quote Link to comment
sdhusker82 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Good article, Dillard is one that really has me scratchin my head though. I don't question why he is on the list but i don't see why he had less playing time last year after a pretty good soph season Quote Link to comment
dee_s3 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Dillard is out of shape and I think they really want him to take control of the defense........ Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Dillard is out of shape and I think they really want him to take control of the defense........ From what I can tell, Dillard was a product of the Cosgrove/Callahan defensive philosophy, that classic Big 10 bruising run-stuffing linebacker that didn't translate well AT ALL to the Big XII. Dillard is (apparently) having some difficulty unlearning what he was taught by Cosgrove. From everything I've seen he's got plenty of talent, but he's not in shape to play in Bo's defense. If he gets in shape and buys into the system, he could be gold. They wouldn't waste their time putting him "in the doghouse" if they didn't think he had value. They'd just fourth-string him and we'd never hear about him again. Quote Link to comment
ray233 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Wasn't there an article about how much Phil loved cupcakes and Rocky Road ice cream or something awhile back? Maybe his fridge techniques are as bad as the tackling was... Quote Link to comment
