DRAINO Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 I don't know about the best because of all the greats that have came out of Nebraska, but I believe if he finishes the season strong his name can be added to the list of great Nebraska players as I don't think we will ever be able to peg down THE greatest.

MidtownJK Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Add a vote for Mike Brown. If you focused on him, he was in on just about every tackle on every part of the field. If not in on the actual tackle, he was right there. As for Suh, he's not the greatest until this season is over. He has this kind of performance in the Big 12 title game and we win and/or in a big bowl game, then we can talk. Quote Link to comment
T_O_Bull Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 We've had some great ones through the years. George Andrews, Wonder Mounds, Rich Glover, Mike Brown, ect., ect., my personal favorite for the last few years has been Terrell Farley. I am certainly not in any way saying anything against Dominator Suh, I guess what I'm trying to say is that its hard to single out the best ever when specific positions require different skills. Right now Suh is the man. T_O_B Quote Link to comment
epocSoN Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Depends on his career after Nebraska. When you say best player to "come out of", a lot depends on what happens after he comes out of Nebraska. aka... it's to early to tell. If he leads us to a BCS game, there is a fantastic chance that he could be considered one of the best yes. Follow it up with a long successful career in the NFL and I think he would be.

skersfan Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 I have seen them all play, there is only one on the same level, and that was Rich Glover. He was our best defensive player ever, and in my mind Mr. Suh is overtaking him. I will not say he is at this time, I too want to see the rest of the season, but if it continous like it is now. He would get my vote over all the others by a land slide, no question. We are seeing history in Mr Suh guys, he is very special and has little help around him and hardly any offense to keep him off the field and fresh. Quote Link to comment

Are you serious? We have the best front four in the country, and one of the top 3 defenses in the country. Quote Link to comment
nepolo7 Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 I am a Cleveland Browns fan and Suh will look good lining up next to Shaun Rogers next year Quote Link to comment
BigRedfxtoy Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 And I think you have to give a lot of credit to the Pelini brothers. Wonder where Suh would be if they had not come along. words do not describe what he is doing right now. This Honestly, he probably would have transferred.... He needed the coaching, not only to get better for the team but for himself. He wanted to learn more and become better and the former coachs just weren't geting it done. (or anything for that matter) Not bad coaching... no coaching, even apon request. Quote Link to comment

Are you serious? We have the best front four in the country, and one of the top 3 defenses in the country. And on top of the d line our corners and safties are playing lights out. Look at the games this year. They have been hung out to dry and still haveing huge games. In almost every game this year, oposing QBs had all day to find an open receiver (by design at times, VT) and couldn't. Our D can be very very good and they are young..... scary for anyone on our schedule. Quote Link to comment

cb1954 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Suh could end up as one of the best. Right now I would still go with Rich Glover.

husk3rf8n Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Rich Glover has to be # 1 but damn if Suh isn't getting close! Quote Link to comment

I was in grade school when he played, and don't remember seeing him play..but he used to get a lot of mention when people were talking about "best ever". There's much better tv coverage now, where you never used to even see linemen before..now with the better cameras and HD you can even see player's expressions and actually see QB's blow snot-bubbles after a great hit.. I'm impressed with Suh's "hand work" while fighting off blocks..he doesn't ever take plays off.. Quote Link to comment
EbylHusker Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Not sure if this was already posted or not, but... http://espn.go.com/blog/big12/post/_/id/49...stickers-week-6 "Nebraska defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh: Produced six tackles (five solo, one assist), forced a fumble, notched a sack, produced a pass deflection and produced a huge interception to spark Nebraska’s 27-12 victory over Missouri. It was a performance that Nebraska defensive coordinator Carl Pelini called the best he had ever seen a defensive lineman have. " Quote Link to comment
