knapplc Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I have very high hopes for Cam Meredith. I was impressed with him in limited action this year. With full season under his belt, I expect a leap forward. Ankrah will keep Meredith honest if Meredith has any inclination to slack off. Anytime you have three guys vying for two spots, competition shouldn't be a problem. I expect whomever wins those starting RE spots to be fierce this year. Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Everyone is entitled to their opinion. If he were as involved in Husker football as we are, then he'd know Baker is the more likely candidate at this point. Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Considering T. Moore only played in 4 games compared to 13 that Baker played in, I'd have to say it's Baker's spot to lose. That's not to say that Moore or someone else could take it. This coaching staff preaches competition in everything, so nothing is a given. Just saying what I saw from looking at the stats.

Again, let's not forget that Moore played a portion of last year injured. I'm not saying you guys are wrong, I'm just saying Stein isn't a lock for the spot. Quote Link to comment
ESPY Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 To Griffin's credit, at least he realizes Suh is a tough one to replace Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 What was his injury? Not saying I don't believe you, I just don't remember it. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 What was his injury? Not saying I don't believe you, I just don't remember it. Turf toe. Bothered him all year. Here's one article that mentions it. Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 That sucks. Turf toe is a b!tch. Hopefully he gets healed up. The competition only makes everyone better. Quote Link to comment
CENTEXHUSKER Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 September is pretty far away and alot could change, but at least on paper, having Crick and Stein in the middle is probably the next best thing to Suh and Crick. How many teams can claim they'll have 2- 6'6" DTs with the athletism of these two... Also pretty confident in Meredith filling in for Turner on the end, hope he doesn't make me eat my words GBR Quote Link to comment
GM_Tood Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 TG should stick with his beloved Big XXII South reporting.... I think we will be fine across the DL...though replacing the production of #93 is definitely a tall task ahead for the coaches. Quote Link to comment
ESPY Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 It's been mentioned that Ankrah will be battling Meredith for a starting spot at DE. Does that mean the loser of that competition will play backup to the winner, or perhaps backup to Allen? Who will be Allen's backup assuming he gets the nod as a starter again in 2010?

From what I understand the two-deep will be a competition between: Allen (almost certainly a starter) Cameron Meredith Jason Ankrah Josh Williams It's too hard to say how Ashburn, Vestal, Rome and Okuyemi will figure into the mix at this point, but with four quality rush ends in place, it's hard to imagine that most/all of these guys won't redshirt.

ESPY Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 What's the word on this Williams kid? Did either Bo or Carl have anything to say about his progress recently? Quote Link to comment
whateveritis1224 Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I think that ESPN should move to division coverage as opposed to full conference coverage. So you have one guy covering the Big XII North, and then one guy covering the South. Do the same for the ACC and SEC, or maybe get a neutral guy to cover the Big XII because Griffin's has a bias for Texas that's far and above all the other writers on ESPN can say. Siefert's bad with his bias of the Vikings in the NFC North blog, but he still provides good stories about the other 3 teams in the division. That and he openly admits to being a Vikings fan and makes a joke about it, so I have no problem if the writer has a bias just as long as they can get good stories about the rest of the teams they are supposed to be covering.

Danimal Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 IMO the addition of Yoshi had a considerable impact on Baker staying at DT, OT is considerably more solid for the next couple seasons with Hardrick in the mix. Plus if Stein were gone I think Randle would give Moore a considerable run for his money, Randle was 1st-team All-Texas and he's added some quality size since then. Quote Link to comment
